The assistant would use already existing University databases--its strength lies in its ability to aggregate information from multiple sources and display it in a useful format.

The assistant was designed for an Autumn 2002 Discrete Mathematical Modeling course (MATH 381) and was submitted as a proposal to UW Computing and Communications in June 2003.
