As a student, the first step to success is to physically sit down and study. However, a problem arises when students cannot locate study spots in an appropriate time or manner. Overall, there is an inefficiency in the market for study spaces. Some spaces, such as the library have high demand but lacks the supply to match it. Yet, other study spaces such as residence academic lounges are underutilised with supply exceeding their demand. With total enrollment at approximately 30,000 students, there needs to be an efficient way to determine what study spots are open, and where they are located.
To address this issue, we have initiated a service to help provide better real-time data on available study spots. Our idea is a Service as a Software (SAAS) to be delivered on a mobile platform. It will serve the student base as well as increase the effectiveness the University of Calgary’s (UofC) operational processes by improving the services they offer for students to study. Our application will link to load sensors installed throughout UofC in the chairs. These sensors are weight sensitive and detect when either a person or a bag, if someone were intending to reserve a seat, is on a seat. This information will then be collected and processed by analytical software and, finally, relayed out to student’s mobile devices. A green colouring will indicate an available seat or a red colouring for a seat occupied by a weight possessing object. As a secondary service, the app will connect
This would be in the form of study lounges or private study rooms. Having such a place, allows student a quiet, low key place to go when they really need to study or complete assignments, without interruption.
While interviewing many members of the Texas A&M community it was discovered that there is a strong desire from the younger students when it comes to providing a more interactive service. However, there was a sort of indifference from the older students as they saw the need for the application but as they already know the campus well after a few years, they seemed less enthusiastic regarding the idea of a new system. Additionally, it was discovered that there is some serious additional start up cost for the creation of a new system that would be compatible on both computers and smart phones nonetheless, it seems like a necessary expense when it comes to keeping up with the changing times in this
process. For instance, one important use of PaaS is that it allows for the development of SaaS,
In addition, each bay only has 5 rooms. Each room holds 5 to 6 students, with 3 bunk beds in each room. It is hard to sleep or study when there are that many people in the room. People play music loudly, to the point where a person can’t study because of the music or someone shaking the bed. Not only does this make it hard, but we also have to deal with people stealing items from other students.
I found the information in the Read section very helpful this week. I never thought about studying and doing school work in a designated spot. I do not know about others, but it is hard for me to study in the same place every time. I have a husband, dogs, kids, and a friend all living in my home it can get very chaotic. When I get home from work I go straight to my bedroom where it is quiet to do my studies, but sometimes my husband wants to watch television in the bedroom. After doing my reading this week I followed the suggestions and I set up a specific spot to study. I also created a weekly schedule so I can manage my time more efficiently. I hope this will help me to be successful with my school work.
My proposed application would allow for an organization, such as a school, account for students, faculty, and visitors in a simpler, faster and more accurate way by leveraging today’s smartphone technology and organizations already existing personnel tracking systems. Smartphones

These areas can range from private rooms in the library, or rooms all around campus. These spaces are available for students to book online through the Durham College website.

If you need a power point printed for the next class no problem, you can go to the computer lab where there are tons of computers there for your convenience. All you have to do to print off your documents is put in your student number and Durham supplies you with $30 at the start of the year to use to print off anything you need, which only costs you a few cents each time! If you even want a more quiet study space you can enjoy some peace and quiet in the library. You’ll find many desks, couches, and study areas to sit down and finish your homework. Durham has the utmost events for students to let loose and make new friends, services to go to when they’re having troubles, and even study areas for students to go to when there’s no place quiet or comfortable enough to do
Summary Paper One Assignment Crimes are inevitable. Law enforcement agencies will always develop new methods or ways to apprehend criminals as criminals also develop new ways to commit crimes. Communication plays an integral part in law enforcement because it acts as a bridge between criminal analysts or producers and consumers i.e. patrol officers, detectives, agents, policy makers, etc. in order to produce results in the field whether it is operational or strategic operations. Reducing crimes is one of the main goals of law enforcement agencies.
Cloud computing is an internet based computing which provides various applications and services like storage, servers, infrastructure, networking with low cost, on-demand self service, pay as you go model, location independent resource pooling, reasonable price , rapid elasticity etc. Cloud computing is one way to increase the capacity add capabilities without investing in new infrastructures like computer hardware involves storage memory, licensing for new software, training for a person and in a dynamic way.
Over the past several years the term cloud computing has become common in homes and organizations alike. Cloud computing can be defined as a pooled set of computing resources that are furnished via the internet. There are three types of cloud services typically available, these services are Platform as a Service (PaaS), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). Organizations can benefit greatly from cloud services because they eliminate the need to buy and manage physical resources. Although such an action cuts cost it leaves organization victim to the vulnerabilities and threats that exist in cloud computing. Throughout this paper I will discuss the vulnerabilities and threats that come
This project is going to discuss about the Cloud Computing and its application in business. To briefly describe what cloud

We have learnt from Servicer Strategy that service means to provide guidance on design, and how to implement them according to the needs of the customer. From the service lifecycle Service Design comes after the service strategy (Annexure A). The service design is not limited to new services, but also to old services which are need to improve the service design which are necessary to maintain the value to customers. The main objective of service design is designing an innovative idea or to change an existing design into a live environment. To change a design or to implement there are several requirements. These requirements are taken from the service portfolios and they are analyzed. There are teams which will indulge in this process and
