Hmm…Which Way? You and a bunch of your college friends decide to take a road trip to California. No one’s done any planning and you all end getting lost. You ask for directions, but you don’t trust them, it was difficult to remember and it doesn’t seem like they really know. At that moment, you remember the new application you bought for your cell phone, TravelWiz. Not knowing exactly where they are, they use the location tracking feature which display on the screen where they are. 12/27/2018 CSE 403

What to do? Another problem arises, it is late, everyone is tired and hungry. Can’t decide where to eat. Give them information about various restaurants in the neighborhood. After eating they want to find out what’s happening in town. Using the TravelWiz, they discover that there’s a list of concerts, night clubs, other entertainment. They decided to try the night club. 12/27/2018 CSE 403

Match Found! Afterwards they are all exhausted and need to find a hotel to rest for the night. One person request that it has to be at least a 4-Star hotel, another requests that it have a pool, and another requests that it shouldn’t exceed $90 a night budget. Again searching for nearby hotels with the specified preferences, TravelWiz finds a match, including various reviews (by former customers) of the hotel. 12/27/2018 CSE 403
