Welcome to CSDL

The Collaborative Software Development Laboratory is led by Philip Johnson, a Professor in the Department of Information and Computer Sciences at the University of Hawaii.

Established in 1991, the Collaborative Software Development Laboratory performs research, development, and technology transfer in disciplines including software engineering, sustainability, entrepreneurship, educational technology, renewable energy, and computer-supported cooperative work.

So far, research by the 89 current and former members of CSDL has led to 24 journal, 31 conference, and 18 workshop publications, as well as 9 Ph.D. theses, 24 M.S. theses, and 3 undergraduate honors theses. Our 16 sponsors have provided a total of $2.5M in funding to CSDL.

Caliana Fortin, Scraping for Students' futures: An Indepth look at the InternAloha Revamping Process, Technical Report CSDL-21-04, July 2021, Department of Information and Computer Sciences, University of Hawaii, Honolulu, Hawaii 96822 (pdf)

Abstract: InternAloha was made to remedy the internship problem that Radgrad had. Through web scraping InternAloha was able to help Radgrad increase the amount of internships students had available to them. This paper looks at how the InternAloha web application was implemented and details the revamping process of the structure, and goals of the original InternAloha system.

Jatin Pandya, InternAloha: Revamping Scrapers, Technical Report CSDL-21-03, December 2021, Department of Information and Computer Sciences, University of Hawaii, Honolulu, Hawaii 96822 (pdf)

Abstract: In this report, we take a look at the service InternAloha which is a scraper that scrapes different job sites for internships. In the report, I will go over the basics of InternAloha and scraping, the design of InternAloha, and the technical aspects that go into InternAloha.

Shinya Saito, Pulling The Trigger With Internaloha: The New Opportunities For Internship, Technical Report CSDL-21-02, December 2021, Department of Information and Computer Sciences, University of Hawaii, Honolulu, Hawaii 96822 (pdf)

Abstract: In the last few decades, the importance of internships for a career development has grown. However, the difficulty to search through possible internships has not decreased. Undergraduate students are forced to spend long hours and use multiple job searching websites for internships. Furthermore, these websites do not provide them with internships that they fully qualify for. Thus, the Internaloha project provides an alternative ”shortcut” for students seeking internships. The approach of Internaloha is creating a scraper to extract Computer Science internships from the different job websites and have them integrated into RadGrad’s internship explorer page. The goal for Internaloha Version 2 is to recreate them using TypeScript and clean it up to look more efficient.
