iLearning Online Interactive for Harcourt Interactive Technology (iloli™)

Art & Logic developed a suite of web applications that provides Harcourt's Reading and Math Assessment Tests to elementary school students across the country via the internet. The applications enable school superintendents to create Teacher accounts, who in turn can create Student accounts, create classroom groups, assign tests to students either as a group or as part of their individual development plans. Students log onto the system, take tests, and view test results instantaneously. Teachers and Supervisors can view reports to gauge how students are performing against state benchmarks. more...

A separate offline application was developed for importing XML content into the backend database. iloli™ applications have delivered millions of online assessments to hundreds of thousands of primary and secondary school students in the United States. The iloli framework implements Harcourt's HSPOA and READS product lines. Following the completion of the original application for Harcourt Interactive Technology (HIT), the Harcourt Education and Measurement (HEM) group hired Art & Logic to modify the original application for use with their testing products. Unlike HSPOA and READS, which are assessment practice tools, the SDRT/SDMT product is a "high stakes" test administered to students in Kindergarten through 12th grade.

Oakley Custom CMS

Oakley hired Art & Logic to develop key portions of their website using PHP/MySQL. Developed components included administrative tools, reports, and a custom content management system. Given the enormous load on the Oakley site, the key challenges were to develop a system that could handle this much traffic while also providing the flexibility for Oakley to update the site frequently.

There's quite a bit of complex business logic that's not immediately apparent from looking at the site. For example, specials on sunglasses in Australia occur at a different time of the year than specials here in the U.S., because of the opposite seasons in the southern hemisphere.

More recently, we created an iPhone version of the WAP site, where users can look up movie showtimes, view entertainment news and gossip, or information about the films themselves. We have also added a feature where SMS or Flash requests can triggered a return voice message, and added an online community to the WAP site.

Multi-product Management Software for SMS Product Line

Redback Networks had developed one of the most sophisticated networking products ever, the SMS 1000 multi-protocol virtual router/switch/bridge. Now it needed a configuration and management interface that network providers could actually use. Having heard through about the work that Art & Logic was doing for other networking product companies, Redback hired Art & Logic to create the SMS 1000 product's management interface. Since then Redback has grown from a startup into a highly respected public company, while continuing to work with Art & Logic on several new products. more...

Since then Redback has grown from a startup into a highly respected public company, while continuing to work with Art & Logic on several new products. The original codebase, including the Art & Logic Advanced JavaScript Control Suite and some tricky searching, sorting, and filtering software, has sped development of the rest of Redback's product line. Because of the complexity of the SMS products they became a showcase of embedded internet capabilities. For example, the device interface can show which plugin cards are in which device slots and can defer committing a large set of cached configuration changes to eliminate conflicts.

Web Interface for System 5000 Router

Before Bay Networks was acquired by Nortel in 1998 their in-house team experimented with developing a web-based management system for their System 5000. They concluded that the project was quite different from a traditional web design project. When they searched for an outside team with the right specialization Art & Logic got the call. Starting with the in-progress system, Art & Logic added the Advanced JavaScript Control Suite, giving the interface cross-browser compatibility and a palette of controls suited to device management. Nortel requested graphics and usability enhancements. more...

Nortel requested graphics and usability enhancements. Art & Logic worked closely with their team to create a unique color theme selector. The System 5000 prototype was not available during development, but its sophisticated management interface was successful because of Art & Logic's extensive prior experience with similar devices.

MallTV, LLC hired Art & Logic to translate their MallTV WAP application for use on iPhones. Since Safari on the iPhone does not support Flash, the implementation uses Javascript although the resulting interface looks and behaves just like the Flash version. MallTV is a portal for cell phones and television and links users to popular third-party third-party websites. A&L created scripts to parse throught ESPN's mobile content and convert it to the MallTV matrix format, now called MallMobi. The ESPNMall pages are updated every 30 minutes and cached on the MallTV server. more...

The Matrix is dyamically created depending on the number of links found on each ESPN page that are associated with numbered keys on the phone. In order to maintain capatibility with the Blackberry, iPhone, and Treo, text was converted to images for the interface because it was discovered that not all devices support all font sizes. Separate versions were created iPhone, and MobilePC/Blackberry/Treo.

Ground-breaking Network Device Management System Under pSOS for Flagship Product

In 1996, managing a networking device with a web browser was almost unheard of. Sonoma Systems, later acquired by Nortel, chose Art & Logic for our strong object-oriented capabilities.

The project involved close interaction with the OS vendor (ISI) because Art & Logic engineers were pushing their pSOS C++ compiler farther than anyone had before.

Art & Logic created an HTML tagging language, wrote the embedded code to implement it, and coded the HTML files to use the new language. The custom tagging created a foundation for easy feature changes and faster new product development - a departure from previous brute-force implementations. The technique also substantially reduced code line count, which reduced defects. The resulting system was not only solid, but had substantial features, such as session management, security, and user account management.

Web-based Management for DesignJet 5000 Large Format Printer

Printers are among the many networked devices getting web-based management systems. Recognizing that their in-house web design team might not have the specialized experience for device management, a Hewlett Packard division based in Spain asked Art & Logic to create the management interface for the DesignJet 5000. The final product features dynamic ink level monitoring and print job status (using proprietary lightweight JavaScript code), printer configuration, design integration with the DesignJet support web site, and internationalization of the user interface for six languages.
