The project successfully achieved its goal and it went beyond the original scope, creating a flexible solution that allows one to control multiple devices using different input controllers.<\/p>\n<p>James&#8217; project aimed to create forecasting models to predict future river levels based on rainfall and river level data. This project dealt with an important real-world problem and successfully created predictive forecasting models predicting river levels from +1 hour to +12 hours in the future.<\/p>\n<p>James was also awarded the\u00a0School of Computing Prize for Outstanding Performance in Examinations and the Rotary Prize for Distinguished Performance in the Stage 3 examinations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Students from the School of Computing were awarded prizes for outstanding achievements at their graduation ceremony at Rochester Cathedral.
