16 tdb 1.6 Most i-scream components are now functioning to initial
17 ajm 1.4 design parameters and data can now be passed through the
18 tdb 1.6 system and displayed successfully. Documentation is still
19     being generated, to allow for future development of the
20     i-scream project. Detailed information can usually be
21     found in the meeting minutes. Code is viewable via CVS
22     to UKC users only.

26 pjm2 1.10 The i-scream Distributed Central Monitoring System <a href="http://raptor.ukc.ac.uk/~pjm2/reports">Reports</a>
27 pjm2 1.11 are now visible on the web. You may view the latest information
28     about each machine, historical 24-hour reports and alerts for
29     each machine. Please remember that this is work in progress
30     still, so the only data currently viewable is our own data that
31     has been harvested by our own testing. Also note that historical
32     reports are only available for periods during which our server
33     was running.

37 pjm2 1.5 Our current host development allows us to pass machine statistics
38     to our distributed filter arrangement, which then processes the
39     data and stores it for later use. An example of such use is the
40     historical report generator which produces graphs of machine
41     usage over periods of time (viewable in a web browser). Realtime
42     clients are also currently being developed - one Java Swing GUI
43     version and also a command line version that can run in a terminal
44 tdb 1.6 window. Alerting mechanisms are being put in place to complete the
45     i-scream system.

49     Builds of the i-scream Distributed Central Monitoring System
50     are now available for <a href="/builds/">download</a> from this
51 pjm2 1.11 website. These are still very much in development and should
52 tdb 1.9 only be used by people who have been in communication with the
53     development team.

59     <p align="justify">
60 tdb 1.6 The project deadline is 4pm on 29 March. As such, we plan to
61     complete the coding process by (at the latest) the end of the
62     project week (26/2 - 2/3). This allows time for documentation
63     to be tidied up and completed, and printing of the project.

66     <p align="justify">
67     As can be seen in the "problem domain" document, the project
68     was aimed at the UKC Computer Science department, and as such
69     we believe a demonstration to the "customer" is important. We
70     plan to do this over the next two weeks, and the feedback given
71     will allow any "last minute" alterations to be completed.

75     <center><h3>Naming History</h3></center>
76    
77     <p align="justify">
78     The name <b>i-scream</b> arose from a meeting whereupon one member
79     of our group randomly chose to draw an ice cream on the white board.
80     It later became apparent that we had no name for our project (other
81     than 'The Project'). It seemed only natural to name our project after
82     the ice cream that had been oh-so-randomly drawn on the white board.
83     Copyright issues immediately ruled out anything involving Mr Whippy,
84     so we had to settle for <b>i-scream</b>. And thus, we were left with a cunning
85     play on words - it still sounded like <i>ice cream</i>, yet also
86     served as a functional decription of our system - namely, one which
87     screams at somebody if something has gone wrong...
