Team Greensmart

My group, team name greensmart, implemented a system to let users see the current carbon emissions on the island of Oahu. Using this information, users will be able to decide when the right time is to use their heavy electicity using electronics. When the webapp says the carbon emission is low, it is the time when the energy is the "cleanest"

I think that this first stage of the project went well. There was a lot of getting used to since this was our group's first introduction to Wicket. But from reading "Wicket in Action" and looking at the example programs provided, I was able to gain a better understanding on how to use Wicket. We were able to share our experiences and tips with each other.

We designed our system the way that the Cheesr system was designed. We utilized sessions and a base page which make make it easier to include more pages down the line. Using this method, our system is easily expandable.

I feel that our group worked very well together. We were able meet on 3 separate occasions which really helped in keeping ourselves on the right track and helping each other if we got stuck. We split up the tasks between us and worked on the system both on our own and as a group. The following is a screenshot of our Software ICU.
