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. |

Our current host development allows us to pass machine statistics |
| 27 |
|
|
to our distributed filter arrangement, which then processes the |
| 28 |
|
|
data and stores it for later use. An example of such use is the |
| 29 |
|
|
historical report generator which produces graphs of machine |
| 30 |
|
|
usage over periods of time (viewable in a web browser). Realtime |
| 31 |
|
|
clients are also currently being developed - one Java Swing GUI |
| 32 |
|
|
version and also a command line version that can run in a terminal |
| 33 |
tdb |
1.6 |
window. Alerting mechanisms are being put in place to complete the |
| 34 |
|
|
i-scream system. |

The project deadline is 4pm on 29 March. As such, we plan to |
| 42 |
|
|
complete the coding process by (at the latest) the end of the |
| 43 |
|
|
project week (26/2 - 2/3). This allows time for documentation |
| 44 |
|
|
to be tidied up and completed, and printing of the project. |

As can be seen in the "problem domain" document, the project |
| 49 |
|
|
was aimed at the UKC Computer Science department, and as such |
| 50 |
|
|
we believe a demonstration to the "customer" is important. We |
| 51 |
|
|
plan to do this over the next two weeks, and the feedback given |
| 52 |
|
|
will allow any "last minute" alterations to be completed. |

The name <b>i-scream</b> arose from a meeting whereupon one member |
| 60 |
|
|
of our group randomly chose to draw an ice cream on the white board. |
| 61 |
|
|
It later became apparent that we had no name for our project (other |
| 62 |
|
|
than 'The Project'). It seemed only natural to name our project after |
| 63 |
|
|
the ice cream that had been oh-so-randomly drawn on the white board. |
| 64 |
|
|
Copyright issues immediately ruled out anything involving Mr Whippy, |
| 65 |
|
|
so we had to settle for <b>i-scream</b>. And thus, we were left with a cunning |
| 66 |
|
|
play on words - it still sounded like <i>ice cream</i>, yet also |
| 67 |
|
|
served as a functional decription of our system - namely, one which |
| 68 |
|
|
screams at somebody if something has gone wrong... |
