 Guidelines
 step 1: read the rules and regulations for this competition first!
 step 2: sign-up for the software design competition
 step 3: follow the software design entry guidelines
 step 4: create a video presentation for your software
application
 Software Design Category - III
• Required elements - your entry must • Optional elements – your entry must
contain all of the following required elements: contain or use features of at least one (1) of the optional

 The application must run on
the
Microsoft .NET Framework. You may use
any version of .Net.
 The application must be developed using
at least one (1) of the products within the
Visual Studio family (Express, Standard,
Professional, or Team System) for development.
 The software application must be fully
functional and implemented (i.e.,
visions for a software application or software
applications that are not fully developed are not
eligible).
 Software Design Judging - I
• 10% - Problem Definition:
 How precise and relevant is the real world problem?
 How interesting or difficult to resolve - functionally or technically - is the
problem being challenged?
 For this criterion, we only focus on the problem challenged, not on the
solution created to solve this problem. How well does the project adhere to
the current Imagine Cup Theme?
• 35% - Solution Design & Innovation:
 Does the application approach a new problem, or look at an old
problem in a new way?
 Is the solution completely innovative or does it rely on an existing
concept/technology?
 Does the application impact a large number of people very broadly , or
impact a smaller number of people very deeply?
 To which degree does the application actually solve the current problem?
 Software Design Judging - II
• 30% - Technical Architecture & User Experience:
 Is the system architecture broke down into logical chunks and modules?
 Is the project technically open to some evolution?
 Is it only made with a monolithic bloc or does it present interfaces enabling
extensions (SDKs or APIs)?
 To which degree are the HMI (Human Machine Interfaces) intuitive,
ergonomic and user friendly?
 Does the application leverage the presence of fresh and updated data?
• 15% - Business Viability:
 Is the application technically and economically viable?
 Is this solution only theoretical or does it have a realistic application for
commercial purposes? (Not necessarily here and now, but eventually in the
future and/or for certain markets).
 Software Design Judging - III
• 10% - Presentation:
 The judges will be looking for oral presentations that provide background
and context to the project, explain why the problem is an interesting
one, highlight how the system works, and include an insightful
demonstration. Teams will also be evaluated on their ability to take
questions from the judging panel.

• First place: Romania, SYTECH
• Second place: Russia, Vital Lab
• Third place: Brazil, Virtual Dreams
 SYTECH - UpCity
• A collaborative platform that proposes a partnership for the
development of communities (e.g., cities), by engaging
citizens and authorities to collaborate in solving the issues
they are facing.
• UpCity raises awareness when an issue is identified, allows the entire
community to comment and assess relevancy, and then improves
the flow of information between interested parties until a solution is
chosen, applied, and finally reassessed through feedback, so that on a
grander scale effective solutions become easier to replicate.

• Facing the problem of faster
and faster epidemic
spreading
• System makes data

and presentation
accessible to everyone
Vital Lab - ViVa
It consists of 3 components:
 ViVa Medicine, solves the problem of
disease detection at early stages and
helps to reduce recovery time, simplifies
treatment process and minimizes the
complication probability.
 ViVa Epidemiology, is designed to detect
the pesthole quickly, which in its turn
makes it possible to take measures for the
pesthole neutralization and scale down an
epidemic in a timely manner. ViVa
Epidemiology can also be used for
forecasting and modeling the
epidemiological situation
 ViVa Alert , a system notifies about the
current epidemiological situation in the
chosen region.
 Virtual Dreams – Health Tag
• HealthTag is a health care support system for use in remote
locations that enables access to patients' medical history
using a secure method for identification, even when an
internet connection is unavailable. Besides, it enables the
analysis of de-identified patient data to build statistics and
analyze the impact of health policies.
