She was one of six students who presented their research work to university faculty and staff during the opening WRD luncheon seminar at Warner Hall on the university\u2019s Midtown campus. WRD 2009 also featured a poster exhibition in the Science Building Atrium of 38 research projects completed by WestConn undergraduate and graduate students during the 2008-09 academic year.<\/p>\n<p>&#013;<\/p>\n<p>Ardizzone demonstrated in her seminar presentation how she used the Java programming language to design and build multiple levels of a processing architecture supporting a graphic interface for banking functions similar to those performed by an automatic teller machine. She observed that the Java architecture offered flexibility in making programming changes and capacity for efficient handling of multiple system users and recurring database access.<\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n    For information, contact WRD 2009 cochairman Dr. Susan Maskel at (203) 837-8799 or maskels@wcsu.edu, or the Office of University Relations at (203) 837-8486.<\/p>\n<p>&#013;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0\">\u00a0  <\/p>\n<p>&#013;<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\" style=\"margin-top: 0\"><em><br \/>&#013;<br \/>\n  Western Connecticut State University offers outstanding faculty in a range of quality academic programs.
