Web Development (review) http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/ Overview The Web Site 'www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/' is educational site. The site uses orange, yellow, beige and blue throughout. The main purpose of the site is to allow users (children and adults) to revise a specific subject or choose from a variety of subjects. The site also provides an extra activity such as quizzes and links for teachers to help and support the students' learning programme. The site also has a message board where students can register to become a member and share their coursework problems with other student members. In my view, the site has no secondary purpose though; it has something else that makes revision more fun for children. It has educational games in English, maths and science (core subjects), where children can play and revise at the same time. Revision page The FrontPage or revision page of the site is laid out as a table. And in the centre of the table, it has a heading and links of all the subjects which allows the user to select a subject. Each subject then follows through a chain of pages with all the information laid out as a text. Message board page The message board page is laid as a table form, and then forms are placed in two cells which allow the users to enter their details and sign in or register to become a member.

Federated Search Engine Program: Bringing Relevant Information to your desktop
Federated Search Engine Program: Bringing Relevant Information to your Desktop Implemented by Serial Solutions 360 Search at A.T Still University's A.T Still Memorial Library in Mesa, Arizona Information: Grant Proposal Executive Summary The current era that we live in, in other words known as the Information age, has the distinguished of being able to provide access and transfer of information freely and in addition, to have instantaneous access to information that would have been hard to find or impossible to find previously. Though the exact date remains unknown, somewhere in the latter half of the 20th century, the world moved from an Industrial Revolution to the Digital Revolution. The economy in this revolution is primarily based on the manipulation of information which makes access to information extremely critical at all times. The traditional search methodologies have their shortcomings, which necessitates the usage of customized versions such as a Federated Search Engine. Students, these days require information in a much deeper manner than they did earlier, due to an increase in competition and the need to stay ahead of it. In order to foster a better learning environment and to harness the benefits of the digital age, the A.T Still Memorial Library at the A.T Still University, Mesa, Arizona, proposes the usage of a Federated Search Engine. The program would

computer security and Legal issues
Computer Security & legal issues Task 1a Security concerns The common data security concerns for businesses are: * Viruses * Spyware * Date theft and hacking Viruses can cause a lot of damage to software, by deleting and changing programs, date and files. In most cases they are carried on email attachments, and if one computer of a networked system organisation gets infected, then other computers are more likely to get infected as well. Spyware is a kind of program that is installed on a computer while downloading software from websites without the user being aware of it. Computers with spyware are vulnerable; because it monitors the way the computer is used and scans files for passwords and other confidential data. It then transmits all this information to its originator. They can also slow down the computer by taking up memory. Data theft and hacking is another threat to business organisations with unsecured computer system. Unauthorised access to computers can cause damage to organisations. Confidential data can be read, copied, altered or even deleted. Task 1b Legal issues Copyright Copyright protects an intellectual property such as; writings, music, films, artistic works, software products and websites. These kinds of properties should not be copied without the copyright owners' permission. These laws are clearly stated in Copyright Designs and Patents Act
BPR STRATEGY: THE BOEING COMPANY
TOPIC - BPR STRATEGY: THE BOEING COMPANY .1 Summary The questions the questions raised in the Boeing marketing position, concerning the ways information system was used to influence the competitive position of Boeing Corporation, and to better understand the significance of the role of information systems in achieving its business strategy. Although Boeing recognized the need to implement dramatic measures to decrease the time it took to fill orders for new equipment, and was willing to thoroughly analyze their manufacturing process and was successful in coming up with workable alternatives including computerization and the standardization of parts. However, the non-commitment of top management in managing the transition process was evident in their people and production problems. Clearly, the market is quite unpredictable, yet for a firm to be in vigorous pursuit of such business and IT strategies and have even the thought of hiring that many workers while retraining all the rest, seems to be, particularly in hindsight, fraught with excessive risk. .2 Answers .) Utilizing Porter's five forces and value chain models to analyze Boeing competitive position and the impact of information technology. a. Porters 5 Forces i. Potential Threat of New Entrants Economies of scale - Boeing was able to reduce the threat of new entrants by setting targets for reducing costs by 25%,

Datbase management system v. Traditional file processing system
Describe the advantages of database management systems over traditional file processing systems Database management system is "a collection of programs that enables you to store, modify, and extract information from a database" (Webopedia 2010). It is a fast and efficient method to store and retrieve information (Ezine@rticle 2005). On the other hand, for the traditional file processing system, "each user defines and implements the needed files for a specific application to run" (Ezine@rticle 2005). The two differ greatly. Therefore, we will try to investigate through this essay the advantages of database management systems over traditional file processing systems. Traditional file processing systems "are still widely used today" (Hoffer, Prescott & McFadden 2002). However, the new complex business application have made it evident that the system had "a number of shortcomings and limitations" (Hoffer, Prescott et al. 2002). That is because in most organizations, "data files and systems tended to grow independently without a company-wide plan" (Laudon and Laudon 2006). Each department in the organisation, such as accounting, marketing or human resources, "all developed their own systems and data files" (Laudon and Laudon 2006). Therefore, as we can see in fig.1, the process leads to the creation of many master files that are maintained and operated by separate department
