Carleton University - School of Computer Science Undergraduate Honours Project Fall 2012 Using Scatternets as a Method to Transmit Information Charles Elliott 
ABSTRACT The main goal of this paper was to introduce an application on the Android platform that would allow users to interact during meetings. Old methods such as taking notes during a meeting can lead to missing information and forgotten due dates. While laptops may be able to fill the void, they are impersonal and detach users from a meeting. This disconnect can be alleviated by creating a small social network using smartphones and tablets that allow all attendees to interact through chat messages and notes. The Android application utilized Bluetooth scatternets and an altered Ring of Masters topology to build a network of devices that could interact with each other while avoiding the seven device limit imposed by Bluetooth hardware. Unfortunately, the application was not able to be fully tested due to connection issues between different Android devices. The project still met all objectives laid out in this paper and can be deemed a success. All source code developed over the course of this project is publicly available on GitHub and can be accessed freely. |
