A Realtime Internet Based Quality Control Application For Hurricane Surface Wind Observations, Luis R. Amat Jr. Nov 1998

A Realtime Internet Based Quality Control Application For Hurricane Surface Wind Observations, Luis R. Amat Jr.

FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis chronicles the design and implementation of a Intemet/Intranet and database based application for the quality control of hurricane surface wind observations. A quality control session consists of selecting desired observation types to be viewed and determining a storm track based time window for viewing the data. All observations of the selected types are then plotted in a storm relative view for the chosen time window and geography is positioned for the storm-center time about which an objective analysis can be performed. Users then make decisions about data validity through visual nearestneighbor comparison and inspection. The project employed an …


Contract Manager Anywhere And Internet-Enabled Database Application, Yao-Jen Chang Oct 1998

Contract Manager Anywhere And Internet-Enabled Database Application, Yao-Jen Chang

FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis describes the design and implementation of an Internet-enabled database application which uses ASP (Active Server Pages) and other related knowledge such as ADO (ActiveX Data Object), ODBC (Open DataBase Connectivity) and OLE-DB (Object Linking and Embed-DataBase). Because it is an Internet-enabled application, the subject of "Security" was also studied by implementing ASP technology. The database was created using Microsoft Access 97 and the web interface was built using HTML, VBScript and JavaScript. This system will be fully functioning at the Florida Department of Education (FLDOE) site and will enable remote access to allow users to monitor hundreds of …


A Sem-Odb Application For The Western Cultures Database, Raquel Ghersgorin Jul 1998

A Sem-Odb Application For The Western Cultures Database, Raquel Ghersgorin

FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis presents the evolution of the Western Cultures Database. The project starts with a database design using a Semantic modeling, and continues with the implementation following two techniques: a Relational and a Semantic approach. The project continues with them in parallel, reaching a point where the Relational is left aside because of the advantages of the Semantic (Sem-ODB) approach.

The Semantic implementation produces as a result the Western Culture Semantic Database Application - web interface (the main contribution of this thesis). The database is created and populated using Sem ODB and the web interface is built using WebRG (report …
