Some of the information is displayed in a different language which makes it hard to understand. They need to include a setting which translates those meanings in to the users’ language so that the information is easy to understand and comprehend. Overall the page has limited accessibility for user interaction. 2. Chapter 8 encourages the design of a help system early in the design of the human interface. How would you incorporate help into the interface as shown in PE Figure 8-1? It needs to be simple and provide easy access with the ability to predict what the user may accidentally do if they are not familiar with the creation of help systems. Help messages should be short, to the point and easily understood. It can show the users how do something. 3. Describe how cookie crumbs could be used in this system. Are cookie crumbs a desirable navigation aid for this system? Why or why not? Cookie crumb trails can be used to show a user how far they have strayed from the home page.

(Signature of student) _______________________________ Summary Schools store and process increasingly more data about students and the subjects which they study. This often includes timetable, homework and attendance data amongst many other potential data sources. In many schools there currently exists no solution for students or their parents to view this data as information from one user friendly interface. The Arnewood School is a secondary school and sixth form college which has realised the need for this kind of information to me made available to students and parents via a secure, user friendly, single sign-on interface. This project aimed to produce a web portal which integrated and displayed information from preexisting and newly designed information systems in a way which was inline with the requirements of The Arnewood School and potential users. Due to the nature of developing such a system without having any knowledge of user requirements, a suitable methodology had to be selected which allowed for vague user requirements that could change at any time. Following this, background research and user requirements gathering was completed in order ensure the solution matched both the requirements of...

... File Management System in Linux CUI Interface A Project Dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the Regulations governing the award of the degree of BA in Computer Studies, University of Sunderland 2006 I. Abstract This dissertation details a project to design and produce a prototype Linux character environment file manipulation assisting application. The application is offering a friendly menu driven interface to handle the jobs that non-programmers keep finding cumbersome to master when it comes to working in a Unix/Linux interface, resulting in serious mistakes and much loss of productive time. The Linux File Management System is a basic program for every user at a Unix/Linux terminal. Advantages here include the fact that the support team does not have to be burdened with solving simple file based queries by the employees. The areas of Designing GUI interfaces in Linux and Windows versus Linux Security were researched and a prototype has been designed, developed and tested. An evaluation of the overall success of the project has been conducted and recommendations for future work are also given. Words II.

...as a service is a novel paradigm that can support several Internet-based applications, but its adoption requires the solution of information confidentiality problems. We propose a novel architecture for adaptive encryption of public cloud databases that offers an interesting alternative to the tradeoff between the required data confidentiality level and the flexibility of the cloud database structures at design time. We demonstrate the feasibility and performance of the proposed solution through a software prototype. Moreover, we propose an original cost model that is oriented to the evaluation of cloud database services in plain and encrypted instances and that takes into account the variability of cloud prices and tenant workloads during a medium-term period.

Erik van Wachem University of Twente, Enschede Industrial Engineering and Management Science Specialization: Production and Logistic Management Mark W.H. Roeloffzen October 9th, 2007. Summary Summary ----------Context NXP operates in a highly dynamic and globalized semiconductor market. The NXP supply chain control is like it peers in semiconductor business quite complex. To manage the supply chain and to deal with the market characteristics, six so called Business Renewal II objectives were launched as part of the one page strategy. On one hand the BR II objectives target for a lower break-even point and on the other hand it aims for operational excellence. For supply chain management this translates in lower stock targets on one hand and better supply chain performance on the other hand. Because of the existing link between these two objectives, this research will support the inventory management project team within the Global Supply Chain Management Competence Center by providing insights in the dynamics between inventory levels and the perceived service levels. With these insights, reducing inventories in an uncontrolled way will be avoided and customer service will be increased.

...momentos inesquecíveis, coisas inexplicáveis e pessoas incomparáveis" como vocês! Obrigado por tudo, Filipe Abstract The Retail Banking Industry has been severely affected by fraud over the past few years. Indeed, despite all the research and systems available, fraudsters have been able to outsmart and deceive the banks and their customers. With this in mind, we intend to introduce a novel and multi-purpose technology known as Stream Computing, as the basis for a Fraud Detection solution. Indeed, we believe that this architecture will stimulate research, and more importantly organizations, to invest in Analytics and Statistical Fraud-Scoring to be used in conjunction with the already in-place preventive techniques. Therefore, in this research we explore different strategies to build a Streambased Fraud Detection solution, using advanced Data Mining Algorithms and Statistical Analysis, and show how they lead to increased accuracy in the detection of fraud by at least 78% in our reference dataset. We also discuss how a combination of these strategies can be embedded in a Stream-based application to detect fraud in real-time. From this perspective, our experiments lead to an average processing time of 111,702ms per transaction, while strategies to further improve the performance are discussed.
