+ data and stores it for later use. An example of such use is the
+ historical report generator which produces graphs of machine

<p align="justify">
- On Monday 16th and Tuesday 17th October all members of the group made presentations to various groups of peers.
+ The project deadline is 4pm on 29 March. As such, we plan to
+ complete the coding process by (at the latest) the end of the
+ project week (26/2 - 2/3). This allows time for documentation
+ to be tidied up and completed, and printing of the project.

+ <p align="justify">
+ As can be seen in the "problem domain" document, the project
+ was aimed at the UKC Computer Science department, and as such
+ we believe a demonstration to the "customer" is important. We
+ plan to do this over the next two weeks, and the feedback given
+ will allow any "last minute" alterations to be completed.
