    Microsoft eScience
    overview

    Microsoft Research is the research and development division within Microsoft, and is dedicated to conducting both basic and applied research in computer science and software engineering. Microsoft Research is segmented into many research areas, one of which is the eScience division, a computational sciences branch committed to providing computational support to the natural sciences. eScience hired Wintellect to re-write the existing Windows Forms application in both Silverlight and WPF, and to correspondingly re-create the user interface design, using as much of a single code base as possible.

    Project Looking Glass
    overview
    Microsoft’s Looking Glass product is a Social Network Analytics and Marketing tool that is the result of a two-year effort by the Developer and Platform Evangelist (DPE) team. The tool was originally planned for an open source Codeplex release and has since morphed into a targeted retail product release for Fortune 500 customers. The original project was a prototype and therefore was not architected to a production-ready level. Microsoft needed to re-work and enhance the UI design of the tool as well as re-migrate the code fully to Silverlight 4, and architect the backend code using the Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) pattern to support unit testing, modularity, scalability, and robustness within the application.
