16 <        Most i-scream components are now functioning to initial
17 <        design parameters and data can now be passed through the

28 +        The i-scream Distributed Central Monitoring System <a href="http://raptor.ukc.ac.uk/~pjm2/reports">Reports</a>
29 +        are now visible on the web.  If you are <b>not</b> a local user, then you may
30 +        view some of the output in the <b><a href="screenshots/">screenshots</a></b> section.
31 +        You may view the latest information about each machine, historical 24-hour
32 +        reports and alerts for each machine.  Our own i-scream server is running constantly,
33 +        along with several hosts to enable plenty of data harvesting.  If you would
34 +        like your i-scream web reports to be linked from this site, then please email us
35 +        at <a href="mailto:dev@i-scream.org.uk">dev@i-scream.org.uk</a>

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

51 +        The latest builds of the i-scream Distributed Central Monitoring System
52 +        are now available for <b><a href="/downloads/">download</a></b> from this
53 +        website.  To assist in our addition of features to the system, we
54 +        would be extremely grateful to receive feedback from anybody who has
55 +        any comments about the system.  You may email the development team

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

64 >        The i-scream Distributed Central Monitoring System started off as
65 >        a final year project for a group of <a href="http://www.cs.ukc.ac.uk">Computer Science</a> students at
66 >        the <a href="http://www.ukc.ac.uk">University of Kent at Canterbury</a>, UK.
67 >        The project deadline was 4pm on 29th March 2001.  Most of the group
68 >        met very early that morning to compile the project into five
69 >        lever arch folders.  The project, consisting of source code, user,
70 >        maintenance and other documents, was handed in at 3pm.  The CVS
71 >        repository was tagged to signify the project's completion, however,
72 >        the project is still being developed by the <a href="acknowledgements.shtml">core development team</a>
73 >        as we have found the system to be very useful in practice.  We would
74 >        love to hear of ideas for extra features that we may include in the
75 >        next builds.

84 <        will allow any "last minute" alterations to be completed.

96          It later became apparent that we had no name for our project (other
97          than 'The Project'). It seemed only natural to name our project after
98          the ice cream that had been oh-so-randomly drawn on the white board.
99          Copyright issues immediately ruled out anything involving Mr Whippy,

101          play on words - it still sounded like <i>ice cream</i>, yet also
102          served as a functional decription of our system - namely, one which
103          screams at somebody if something has gone wrong...
