...CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Information A hotel is an establishment that provides lodging paid on a short-term basis. The provision of basic accommodation, in times past, consisting only of a room with a bed, a cupboard, a small table and a washstand has largely been replaced by rooms with modern facilities For the purpose of this work a guest house is (also guesthouse) is a kind of lodging. In some parts of the world a guest house is similar to a hostel, bed and breakfast, or inn whereas in other parts of the world (such as for example the Caribbean), guest houses are a type of inexpensive hotel-like lodging and a hotel is a commercial establishment providing lodging, meals, and other guest services, both of which can be used interchangeably For this Project I would be using The Covenant University Guest House as my case study The Covenant University Guest house has 80 rooms which are divided into three categories; Executive deluxe rooms, mini suits and standard rooms. All rooms have intercoms, internet services and satellite television, it has a standard restaurant serving continental and national dishes,24hours room service, a mini mart, a gymnasium, laundry service with modern dry cleaning equipment, 3 large halls for exhibitions and conferences and a large secure cark park The Covenant University Guest house has 5 departments namely: 1.

...1 Basic concepts of information retrieval systems Introduction The term ‘information retrieval’ was coined in 1952 and gained popularity in the research community from 1961 onwards.1 At that time the organizing function of information retrieval was seen as a major advance in libraries that were no longer just storehouses of books, but also places where the information they hold is catalogued and indexed.2 Subsequently, with the introduction of computers in information handling, there appeared a number of databases containing bibliographic details of documents, often married with abstracts, keywords, and so on, and consequently the concept of information retrieval came to mean the retrieval of bibliographic information from stored document databases. Information retrieval is concerned with all the activities related to the organization of, processing of, and access to, information of all forms and formats. An information retrieval system allows people to communicate with an information system or service in order to find information – text, graphic images, sound recordings or video that meet their specific needs. Thus the objective of an information retrieval system is to enable users to find relevant information from an organized collection of documents. In fact, most information retrieval systems are, truly speaking, document retrieval systems, since they are designed to retrieve information about the existence (or non-existence) of documents relevant to a user query.

...5.1 Applications of Data Mining A wide range of companies have deployed successful applications of data mining. While early adopters of this technology have tended to be in information-intensive industries such as financial services and direct mail marketing, the technology is applicable to any company looking to leverage a large data warehouse to better manage their customer relationships. Two critical factors for success with data mining are: a large, well-integrated data warehouse and a well-defined understanding of the business process within which data mining is to be applied (such as customer prospecting, retention, campaign management, and so on). Some successful application areas include: • A pharmaceutical company can analyze its recent sales force activity and their results to improve targeting of high-value physicians and determine which marketing activities will have the greatest impact in the next few months. The data needs to include competitor market activity as well as information about the local health care systems. The results can be distributed to the sales force via a wide-area network that enables the representatives to review the recommendations from the perspective of the key attributes in the decision process. The ongoing, dynamic analysis of the data warehouse allows best practices from throughout the organization to be applied in specific sales situations. • A credit card company can leverage its vast warehouse of customer transaction...

...Abbreviated version of this report is published as "Trends in Computer Science Research" Apirak Hoonlor, Boleslaw K. Szymanski and M. Zaki, Communications of the ACM, 56(10), Oct. 2013, pp.74-83 An Evolution of Computer Science Research∗ Apirak Hoonlor, Boleslaw K. Szymanski, Mohammed J. Zaki, and James Thompson Abstract Over the past two decades, Computer Science (CS) has continued to grow as a research field. There are several studies that examine trends and emerging topics in CS research or the impact of papers on the field. In contrast, in this article, we take a closer look at the entire CS research in the past two decades by analyzing the data on publications in the ACM Digital Library and IEEE Xplore, and the grants awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). We identify trends, bursty topics, and interesting inter-relationships between NSF awards and CS publications, finding, for example, that if an uncommonly high frequency of a specific topic is observed in publications, the funding for this topic is usually increased. We also analyze CS researchers and communities, finding that only a small fraction of authors attribute their work to the same research area for a long period of time, reflecting for instance the emphasis on novelty (use of new keywords) and typical academic research teams (with core faculty and more rapid turnover of students and postdocs). Finally, our work highlights the dynamic research landscape in CS, with its focus constantly ...

BCD: » » » » » » » » » » » » » » » » » » BCD stands for binary Coded Decimal system. This is a 6 bit code i.e. each character is expressed in terms of a 6 bit code. There will be 64 ways of representing digits, alphabets and special symbols. There is no parity bit in this coding scheme. ASCII: ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. This code is extensively used in small computers, peripherals, instruments and communication devices. It is a seven-bit code and has replaced many of the special codes that were previously used. Microcomputers using 8-bit word length use 7 bits to represent the basic code. The 8th bit is used for parity or it may be permanently 1 or 0. With 7 bits, up to 128 characters can be coded. A letter, digit or special symbol is called a character. It includes upper and lower case alphabets, numbers, punctuation marks, special and control characters. Here the first 3 bits are zone bits and the remaining 4 bits represent digit values. ASCII-8: A newer version of ASCII is ASCII-8 code, which is an 8-bit code. With 8 bits, the code capacity is extended to 256 characters. EBCDIC: EBCDIC stands for Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code. It is a standard character code for large computers. It is a 8-bit code without parity and 9th bit can be used as parity bit. Using 8 bits 256 characters...

Particularly in some schools, library transactions are still done on paper. We all know that modern school libraries are operating at great pace striving to serve as many students as possible with the best of their abilities. But as the years rolled by, the number of study has grown and the manual method of managing student and book records is no longer practical. A Library Management System is a system that makes use of information technology to perform managerial objects. The main goal of a library management information system is to store, organize, share and retrieve vital information needed to perform daily operational functions of the library. St. Matthew Academy of Cavite does not have one. Since library has a very large number of books and large number of members, it is impossible for librarians to handle day to day activities manually. Therefore, a library management system...

...HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM Group Members- Rohan Rodrigues-03 Deepa patel-32 INTRODUCTION Hospitals are the key institutions in providing relief against sickness and disease. They have become an integral part of the comprehensive health services in India, both curative and preventive. Significant progress has been made in improving their efficiency and operations.Effectiveness of a health institution - hospitals or nursing homes, depends on its goals and objectives, itsstrategic location, soundness of its operations, and efficiency of its management systems. The administrator's effectiveness depends upon the efficiency with which he is able to achieve the goals and objectives. Some of the major factors determining the effectiveness of a health institution includes patient care management and patient satisfaction. Hospitals are very expensive to build and to operate. Administrators and professionals have to be extremely cost conscious. Effective computerised systems and procedures need to be implemented to ensure proper utilization of limited resources toward quality health care. It becomes even more important when an in-house medical facility is provided by an industry for it’s employees, as is the case for Tata Steel. Patient care management in Tata hospital has fully utilised the power of computers in Medicare, whereby network of integrated systems maintaining patient database for the hospital services in the areas of Pathology, Radiology, Medical Research...

...CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Project Context A system is said to be effective if the end is realized with a maximum of success while using a minimum of means. To test, therefore, the effectiveness of the inmate system, the end or the objectives and the means or the strategies availed of to secure the desired end must be examined. According to A. Sarras, N.D., in today’s world Management Information System, a computerized processing system is needed in generating information for the people in the organization to meet the information needed in decision making to achieve the corporate objective of the organization. In any organization, small or big, a major portion of the time goes in data collection, processing, documenting it to the people. Hence, a major portion of the overheads goes into this kind of unproductive work in the organization. Every individual in an organization is continuously looking for some information which is needed to perform his/her task. Hence, the information is people-oriented and it varies with the nature of the people in the organization. The difficulty in handling this multiple requirement of the people is due to a couple of reasons. The information is a processed product to fulfill an imprecise need of the people. It takes time to search the data and may require a difficult processing path. It has a time value and unless processed on time and communicated, it has no value. The scope and the quantum of information is individual-dependent and it is difficult...
