Develop a java program that reads in strings from the following URL and stores them in a sorted list.

The objective of this lab set up a simple command line app to be used as a foundation for exploring TDD in subsequent labs

Evolve the application developed in lab01 with additional capabilities

Expand the pacemaker model to include Location and Activity classes. Introduce a set of tests to verify the behavior of the model.

On competing the lab you will:

• Know how to apply Scientific Method to analyse an algorithm.
• Empirically derive an equation to estimate the running time of an algorithm.
• Using tilda notation, derive a mathematical cost model for the running time of an algorithm

In this assignment you will write a java program which implements autocomplete for set of weighed strings. Your program will:

• Read in a set of N strings and weights from a data source (e.g. file or URL).
• Allow the user enter a prefix string.
• Find and display the top strings in the set that contain the prefix.
• Provide a comprehensive testing strategy using JUnit.

This Assigment is worth 20% of your overall mark for this module.

On competing the lab you will:

• Implement a comparable class.
• Generate random data for testing.
• Sort using insertion and Selection sort.
• Compare the performance of selection and insertion sort.

On competing the lab you will:

• Implement recursive algorithms.

Many companies use recommender systems to suggest products, information, and friends to their customers . In this assignment you will develop a Movie recommender using existing movie data.

Extend the pacemaker application to incorporate a serialization mechanism to enable users & activities to be persisted to a file. We will then try to generalize this mechanism, which will enable us to experiment with alternative serialization formats.

Extend the pacemaker project to include tests for the persistence mechanisms.

Extend the pacemaker project to include a simple command line facility

In this assignment you will develop a Book manager and recommender.
