Cleaning Data Helps Clean The Air, Kelley Donalds, Xiangrong Liu
Cleaning Data Helps Clean The Air, Kelley Donalds, Xiangrong Liu
Management Faculty Publications
In this project, students use a real-world, complex database and experience firsthand the consequences of inadequate data modeling. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency created the database as part of a multimillion dollar data collection effort undertaken in order to set limits on air pollutants from electric power plants. First, students explore the database to identify design limitations from the perspective of a data analyst with a specific goal. Second, students create a new database design which overcomes identified problems. Through this case study, students develop the skill to infer usage implications by studying the design of an existing database. This …
Designing An Mis Database For Selection And Recruitment, Umakant Mishra
Designing An Mis Database For Selection And Recruitment, Umakant Mishra
Umakant Mishra
Selection and recruitment is a key HR function and it is often necessary to maintain at least a small database of all the candidates who have been invited in past interviews. This information may be considered as a part of HR MIS and may be maintained by HR department along with other HR MIS such as employee information, transfers, performance appraisals, trainings etc.
This recruitment MIS database includes all the candidates after the preliminary scrutiny is over. When the candidates go through different stages of interviews, the MIS also captures all their interview results. Maintaining this information not only helps …

Merging Schemas In A Collaborative Faceted Classification System, Jianxiang Li
Merging Schemas In A Collaborative Faceted Classification System, Jianxiang Li
Computer Science Theses & Dissertations
We have developed a system that improves access to a large, growing image collection by allowing users to collaboratively build a global faceted (multi-perspective) classification schema. We are extending our system to support both global and local schemas, where global schema provides a complete and uniform view of the collection whereas local schema provides a personal, possibly incomplete and idiosyncratic view of the collection. We argue that although users usually focus on their personal schemas, it is still desirable to have a global schema for the entire collection even if such local schemas are available. In order to keep the …
Animated Courseware Support For Teaching Database Design, Meg C. Murray, Mario Guimaraes
Animated Courseware Support For Teaching Database Design, Meg C. Murray, Mario Guimaraes
Faculty and Research Publications
Database technologies are a core component of computing technology curricula. Their importance will only continue to expand as more and more data are retained in database systems. An effective database system is predicated on a good data model. Database design is the conceptualization of an underlying data model that progresses from identifying user requirements to graphically depicting those requirements and finally mapping the graphical models to a set of tables implemented in a physical database system. The abstract nature of much of database design makes it challenging to teach. This paper presents a set of software animations designed to support …

Theses Digitization Project
The purpose of this project is to provide staff and future students at College of Extended Learning a web based interface to process course registration online. This system is called College of Extended Learning Online Registration System C♯ (CELORS-C♯). This project is a revision of a previous version of College of Extended Learning Online Registration System. The previous version of CELORS has been used by College of Extended Learning as of March 2007. The difference between the previous CELORS and CELORS-C♯ is that the previous CELORS is coded in JAVA but CELORS-C♯ is coded in C. Also, CELORS-C♯ has a …

International Extension Program Online Registration System, Hau Yu
International Extension Program Online Registration System, Hau Yu
Theses Digitization Project
The International Extension Program Online Registration System (IEPORS) allows prospective international students to apply over the Web to the programs offered through the International Extension Program of the College of Extended Learning. The system is comprised of two separate systems: a web application and a desktop application. In this project, Hibernate technique is used to reduce code size and system architecture. Security schema was also modified to be simple and solidly secure. All the private information could be interceped on the Internet are protected by SSL (secure Sockets Layer).
Traditional Chinese Medicine On-Line Diagnosis System, Chuan-Ting Chou
Traditional Chinese Medicine On-Line Diagnosis System, Chuan-Ting Chou
Theses Digitization Project
The project developed a web-based application that provides a user-friendly interface to assist practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine in determining the correct diagnosis. Traditional Chinese Medicine On-line Diagnosis System (TCMODS) allows a diagnostician to enter a patient's symptoms using a series of questionnaires to determine health status, which will then be stored in the database as part of the patient's medical records. The database will also differentiate among the patterns of syndromes known in traditional Chinese medicine and search and match these with the patient's data to the known uses of Chinese herbs. TCMODS will then generate that patient's medical …

Web-Based Independent Study Program, Darryl Dwaine Scroggins
Theses Digitization Project
The Web-based Independent Study Program (WISP) is an on-line database program used to create and store educational records for members of Dikaios. (Dikaios is a Christian educators association that offers an independent study program.) The database allows home educators to create, store, edit, view, and print the forms and records that are required by Dakaios administrators and by the state of California. Further, the database helps students and home educators monitor student progress towards meeting high school graduation requirements.

A System For Structured Management Of Hypermedia Resources For The World Wide Web, Kevin L. Marlowe
A System For Structured Management Of Hypermedia Resources For The World Wide Web, Kevin L. Marlowe
Computer Science Theses & Dissertations
The World Wide Web (WWW) is arguably the preferred method for disseminating information across the Internet. Most of the work to support the advancement of WWW technology has focused on servers used in storing and retrieving information, browsers for viewing this information, and editors or filters for creating the information.
One area which has received little attention is that of actually managing this information at the local host. This thesis describes the development of a means for organizing local data prior to its publishing on the WWW, a method for gathering local pages together and preparing them for distribution, and …
Quality Of Service Specification For Multimedia Presentations, Richard Staehli, Jonathan Walpole, David Maier
Quality Of Service Specification For Multimedia Presentations, Richard Staehli, Jonathan Walpole, David Maier
Computer Science Faculty Publications and Presentations
The bandwidth limitations of multimedia systems force tradeoffs between presentation data fidelity and real-time performance. For example, digital video is commonly encoded with lossy compression to reduce bandwidth and frames may be skipped during playback to maintain synchronization. These tradeoffs depend on device performance and physical data representations that are hidden by a database system. If a multimedia database is to support digital video and other continuous media data types, we argue that the database should provide a Quality of Service (QOS) interface to allow application control of presentation timing and information loss tradeoffs.
This paper proposes a data model …
