• • • Convert *.xlsx file to *.csv using conversion API so that you can see the content of the file on the VM. We are not installing any office software on the VM.
    • use extraction API to extract columns from the file and
    • Perform some analysis and add to the technical metadata
    •  Write an extractor/converter for this problem
      • This should be an enticing yet simple problem that can handle many spreadsheets and get a result.
      • Ideas
        1. An algebra 101, traveling trains problem.  2 trains leave 2 different stations on tracks heading toward a junction.  Given a spreadsheet with departure times, distances, velocities, etc., upload all the spreadsheets and determine if they will crash.
           1. This problem is simple and would provide the user an easily understood problem that can clearly be scaled to much more involved traffic problems.  
           2. However, it doesn't really present a cool new idea.  It may be preferable to think of something more cutting edge technology
        2. A bacterial growth model.  Given a culture with varied conditions, eg. pH, stored in multiple spreadsheets, determine the growth rate.  Might be able to base this on http://mathinsight.org/bacteria_growth_initial_model
           1. This would require a few minutes of explanation of the model and would require some learning by the developer of the extractor.
           2. Still maybe not that enticing.
        • Better Ideas?
          
          
    •  Provide a Python script for obtaining the input files and use BD REST API for to obtain the result.
