Database Coursework on a Vehicle Rental System: Analysis

Introduction I am a student starting my second year of A levels at a College of Further and Higher Education and one of these A levels is ICT. The A2 part of the ICT A level consists of three modules, one of which is coursework and it is worth 40% of my overall A2 grade. The coursework requires me to identify and conduct research into an open-ended problem that exists for a real end-user. From results of this preliminary research, I must design an appropriate ICT-based solution for the problem using the skills and knowledge that I have acquired throughout the duration of my course. After designing such a solution, I will develop the actual software to be used to address the problem along with the technical documentation. This software will then undergo extensive testing so that I may identify and correct any bugs that may be present within the system. Plans on how the system will be implemented will then be made, including any training the staff will need and how existing data will be transferred into the new system. Finally, the User Documentation will be produced and I will evaluate the system on a number of various criteria to see if it meets the requirements outlined at the analysis stage. Throughout the whole process, I will be using the skills and experience that I've acquired in the first year of the course (and what I will be learning this year) to incorporate a wide

Performance Evaluation of an End-to-End Measurement Based Call Admission Control Method

Performance Evaluation of an End-to-End Measurement Based Call Admission Control Method . by Balázs Soós mailto:[email protected] http://web.axelero.hu/kssoftware/balazs 2. Master's Thesis Submitted for the Diploma in Computer Science Department of Telecommunications and Telematics Budapest University of Technology and Economics Advisors: István Szabó,Dániel Orincsay,Ericsson Research Tibor Cinkler PhD, Budapest University of Technology and Economics Budapest, 2003 Abstract The modeling and the performance evaluation of Call Admission Control solutions in IP-network are still famous research areas in our days. One trend of these areas is represented by the End-to-End Measurement Based Call Admission Control methods. There are two main approaches of them: In the passive approach, the communicating endpoints are continuously tracing the main QoS features of the live traffic generated by themselves. They decide upon the gathered statistics if the network is capable of serving a new call demand, while preserving the adequate QoS in the network. In the active approach, the endpoints generate test-packets in the network to measure their delay and jitter in order to estimate the available network resources. In this thesis a new Call Admission Control method is proposed for IP-telephony-gateways that is based on the active method called Self Loading Periodic

The Impact of Mobile Phones on social Interaction

The Impact of Mobile Phones on social Interaction Marwan Nawaz ABSTRACT This dissertation attempts to understand the reasons behind the growth of mobile phones and the impact of this growth on social interaction. In order to achieve this aim, the study looks at two separate communities. It firstly looks at the impact the mobile phones have had on the social interaction of the general public, and secondly it take a more concentrated look at the subject by studying the impact on the 13-18 year old community. This aim was achieved through the use of questionnaires, a focus group and a literature search. The questionnaires were conducted on both the general public and 13-18 year old community. Similarly, the focus group was also conducted on the 3-18 year old community to gain a deeper understanding of the questionnaire results. Analyses of these questionnaires and focus group, combined with the literature search form a major part of the project. Findings suggest that there is no single reason behind the growth of mobile phones and different factors hold varying levels of importance depending upon geographical, economic, political and social factors. Similarly, whilst mobile phones have had both a positive and negative effect on social interaction, it may be fair to conclude that the positive effects outweigh the negative effects. It is concluded that, it is

ICT Solutions for people with Special Needs.

ICT Solutions for people with Special Needs Introduction It is critical that the introduction of new technology does not further restrict access to materials among groups already disadvantaged through disability. My Coursework will offer guidance on how to maximize accessibility and will present guidance in relation to the needs of three different groups in turn - those with Dyslexia, Visual Disability/Impairment and Physical Impairment/Having limited use of limbs. Background My Coursework will give me the opportunity to investigate the provision of ICT software and hardware, dedicated to people with special needs, and to assess whether this equipment has improved the quality of life of users with special needs. I will be investigating into the following three specific groups of special needs: * Having a language difficulty - Dyslexia * Visual Disability / Impairment * Physical Impairment / Having limited use of limbs. First, I must establish the precise meaning of these individual Special Needs, and the differences between. These are shown below: What is Dyslexia? The word dyslexia comes from Greek and means 'difficulty with words'. Today, dyslexia describes a condition in which people have specific difficulties with reading, writing and spelling. It includes similar problems with number work and recognising symbols, such as musical notes or mathematical signs.

Sarah was born in London and studied dermatology at a top university. Her passion was making others feel good about themselves so she decided to take up the opportunity to travel several countries in 1997 in the hope of finding natural ingredients instead of artificial products that are prone to cause skin deterioration and allergic reactions. Her discoveries of mineral oils and powders as well as plant extracts were tested in labs for over three years. This was a major procedure to ensure the ingredients were compatible with both skin and hair. It was important that all ingredients used in each product was natural and was not tested on animals. The ingredients were found in Indonesia, Malaysia, India and also Egypt. What makes Magic Herbal products so different to any other brand is the purity of the products as well as their campaign against testing products on animals. Furthermore the packaging of all their products is recycled to ensure they
