...Moratuwa, Sri Lanka. Abstract— OpenOffice application suite is gaining popularity after the introduction of a more improved version. The supremacy of open source software relies on its support for vast amount of extensibility and customization. OpenOffice.org provides such support through Extensions - which include Components, Add-ins and Add-Ons. This paper is a study of the process of developing an Add-On for OpenOffice Calc which is aimed towards analyzing stock market data. Index Terms— Optimization, Stock markets, Share prices Further currently there are no such extensions or features exist in OpenOffice Calc regarding stock market analysis or option pricing. But there are sophisticated software available for this kind of purposes and also few companies have developed some Add-Ins for Microsoft Excel. This extension is costless and is easy to use; hence will be useful for those who are related to stock exchange especially to the investors, investment advisors and option writers. The initial requirement was further enhanced to create an Add-On which allows the users to do the following: use the downloaded stock price data to perform Technical Analysis using seven important Technical Analysis indicators such as MACD, RSI, Aroon Oscillator, Stochastic, OBV, ADX and Simple moving average, generate charts for each indicators for more accurate analysis and price Options using Binomial, Black, Black Scholes and Merton model. I. INTRODUCTION OpenOffice, is an open-source application...

Conclusion Introduction “Bill Gates was the first to realize the power of ‘good enough.’ We don’t have to offer the perfect desktop environment, just one that’s good enough for most people.” [pic] Desktop Linux, also called Linux on the desktop, refers to specialized Linux distributions with features designed for desktop personal computer users. These features include a graphical user interface and personal use applications. Some Linux distributions have targeted the desktop role specifically, while others include all the software available for the platform. In that case, the user will be given the choice to select either a "desktop" or "server" type when the operating system is installed. THE ADOPTION CYCLE Looking back Many technologies have enjoyed widespread success when a new application was released that allowed the benefits of the new technology to fully demonstrate themselves. The Macintosh computer, for instance, started gaining momentum with the release of Adobe Pagemaker and the postscript printer, creating the desktop publishing industry. Likewise, the Internet was used only in academic and technical circles...

...Cloud Computing Cloud computing means that instead of all the computer hardware and software you're using sitting on your desktop, or somewhere inside your company's network, it's provided for you as a service by another company and accessed over the Internet, usually in a completely seamless way. Exactly where the hardware and software is located and how it all works doesn't matter to you, the user—it's just somewhere up in the nebulous "cloud" that the Internet represents. Cloud computing is a buzzword that means different things to different people. For some, it's just another way of describing IT (information technology) "outsourcing"; others use it to mean any computing service provided over the Internet or a similar network; and some define it as any bought-in computer service you use that sits outside your firewall. However we define cloud computing, there's no doubt it makes most sense when we stop talking about abstract definitions and look at some simple, real examples—so let's do just that. Simple examples of cloud computing Most of us use cloud computing all day long without realizing it. When you sit at your PC and type a query into Google, the computer on your desk isn't playing much part in finding the answers you need: it's no more than a messenger. The words you type are swiftly shuttled over the Net to one of Google's hundreds of thousands of clustered PCs, which dig out your results and send them promptly back to you. When you do a Google search, the...

...Part A - Case Study III-3Make-or-Buy Decision at Baxter Manufacturing Company 1. What are the arguments in favor of Manufacturing Vice President Moore’s proposal to purchase the manufacturing software from EMS? Moore argues that Baxter Manufacturing Company (BMC) is losing it’s reputation as a world-class parts manufacturer and is therefore implying that the company will lose business unless they purchase the manufacturing software. Moore also thinks that the manufacturing software will improve their manufacturing efficiency and customer service. The vendor, Effective Management Solutions (EMS), has told Moore that the entire system can be up and running in six months, where the estimated time to build an in-house system is two years. So there appears to be a big savings in the implementation timeline. The cost to buy the vendor provided manufacturing software is a fixed $220,000. The estimated cost to build the in-house system is over $400,000. So there appears to be a significant cost savings in purchasing the manufacturing software. Moore also argues that the vendor system is a better system because it is a mature system that has gone through many iterations of changes based on feedback from hundreds of customers. Moore believes that adopting BMC’s manufacturing process to the vendor software will improve BMC’s operations because of the experience that has gone into the manufacturing software.Moore believes that this system will be successful because he is championing...
