Preamble

Restaurant Finder/Locator App comes handy for tourists visiting an area. Yelp is one such app. Users often look for an app that works as follows: Once some restaurants are located in a given area and displayed on the app's screen, suppose a user selects a restaurant. Once the user clicks on the restaurant link, the app should recommend few more restaurants which meet some criteria similar to the selected restaurant.

Objective

Develop a smartphone graphical user-interface based app that enables locating few restaurants in a given area. And, once a restaurant is selected by clicking on the relevant link, the app should recommend few more restaurants which meet some criteria similar to the selected restaurant.

Partial Specifications

* Develop back-end code in a suitable programming environment/language using
existing libraries available in that environment/language.
* Develop graphical user interface (GUI) using a suitable UI code library
such that the UI code is able to interact with the back-end code.

Suggested Approach

* Investigate literature/information on requirements of such an application.
* Investigate Machine Learning techniques that might be helpful in realizing
the recommendation subsystem.
