In recent years, students have come to regard house hunting as more of an endurance task (telegraph). Therefore this paper will look into ways to improve student collaboration in terms of finding accommodation. Now a days it is becoming far more accessible for people to be able to go to university. In recent years there has been a rise in the number of both national and international students applying for and attending universities in London. This increase has led to universities only being able to offer limited on-campus living accommodation, which means students are now having to seek more private accommodation. Each year it has been reported that students face the same accommodation crisis as the market offers little information about …show more content…
The two most common listings which have survived and still being used are Newspapers and printed listings. These only give a little organisation, as well as short of being sorted by one field, but are easy to use for the novice. Dynamic queries was designed, implemented and evaluated as a new concept for visualising and search databases utilising direct manipulation. These queries will allow users to formulate a query by having control over the adjustment of graphical widgets, for examples when the user have set their search queries into the sliders they will have the result of their search immediately. This way users will find it easy to find trends and exceptions as dynamic queries have provided them with a graphical visualising of their search result and database. Few decades ago, the main hypothesis was that the dynamic queries interface, provide a query which had both graphical input as well as graphical visualisation of the users search results. This would give the best user performance results and would berated highest in user satisfaction. Performance results were measured as the time until correct answer for each question. Interaction Design A dominant concern of interaction design is to develop interactive products that are functional and meets the needs of the target audience. This means that the design has to be easy to learn, effective to use, and to provide a pleasing user experience. To start you should start thinking
Bi et al \cite{Rec:Bi} provides ranked related entities to the user query along with the results of the main entity. In order to do this, this articles makes use of user's search history, click history and knowledge base. A matrix is created comprising of the user information which connects to the entities along with the ranking, click results. A tri-linear function\cite{Rec:Bi} is defined mapping these details and which will be used to rank the related entities

Cas had always had a bad habit of drifting off in the middle of a conversation, unless it was something of utmost importance, and it usually wasn’t, after all, hell had been closed, and they had given up the hunting business to get married.
With the advent of computer technology in 1990’s the need to search large databases was increasingly becoming vital. The search engines prior to PageRank had limitations, the then most widely used algorithm used text based indexes to provide search results on World Wide Web however had limitations of improper search results as the logic used by the search engines looked at the number of occurrences of the search word in webpage which sometimes resulted in improper search results. Another technique used during the time was based on variations of standard vector space model – i.e. search based on how recent the webpage was updated and/or how close the search terms are to the

In the UK just now, there is an exceptional lack of affordable housing which has resulted in a housing crisis, meaning more and more people are finding themselves unable to find anywhere to live. For many people the possibility of owning their own home is way out of there reach. On average house prices are seven times people's incomes. It makes no difference how hard someone works the fact is that more and more people are simply unable to own a house. This has caused many people to be forced to rent from private landlords, this can often be unstable and with eviction being a constant risk it puts people under lots of pressure. Failure to build affordable housing has resulted in an increase in the level of homelessness as it has become so difficult for people to afford to pay for somewhere to live. In London the average price for a home in 2015 was £472,000 which is thirteen times Londoners average wage. The streets of London are an area where there are scandalous levels of rough sleeping. 8,00 people each year. In one area of London Newham one in every 25 people are
At the beginning Smith identifies the recent trend in ‘increased commodification of student living’ and illustrates the rapid development of high multiple occupancy
Visual search began several years ago through the development of companies like Slyce. The universal scanner allowed users to use an app on their cell phones to snap photos of products that they are interested in and find out more about it. They could either buy products on the spot or create a want list for themselves. Slyce quickly caught on with users and brands began seeing the benefits of using new technologies to gain new customers and stay relevant.
User interface design is the design of user interfaces (UI) for machines and software, used on computers, smartphones, and any other electronic device. The goal of a user interface is to maximize a user’s ability to access all necessary components of the intended application or website with less effort exerted by the user; as a developer you want to create something beautiful that somebody with any previous experience of interfaces would be capable of using. Using an interface should be an enjoyable experience, the user shouldn’t be stressed out or annoyed by UI, and its inability to present the necessary information in an aesthetically pleasing and efficient manner. There are no steps to design that are set in stone, but crucial things that should be considered are:
While doing some of my research, I chose to use Computer Source as my database. The main subject of the database was trends in technology. It allowed me to search trends from any time which was particularly helpful for my topic. The type of search that can be completed using this database is Boolean searching. This type of searching style came in handy because the information I was searching for involved the cyber world, so it made it easier to differentiate which aspect of the cyber world I was researching. For example, differentiating between Cyber Terrorism and Terrorism or Cyber Warfare. Computer Source lets its users search by publication date rather than by scholarship level. Computer Source also showed similarities with Academic Search Complete in that they shared similar fields. But after conducting similar searches, Computer Source provided me with more relevant information. Overall, my search results were more refined and
Although this industry operates in a specialty niche, the industry generates millions of dollars yearly and is growing rapidly. It is becoming more common for international students to study abroad and as a consequence the demand for housing arrangements to house these students is also growing. The accommodation services that companies like Just Homestay LLC offer provide value because they screen each family that partakes in this program to ensure the safety of the international students as well as make the transition less stressful for the students. This adds convenience to the students by providing necessary information about the culture in which they will be staying while they
An important part of information retrieval systems is query reformulation and a proven effective technique for query reformulation is Relevance feedback. The idea behind Relevance feedback is to take the results that are initially returned from a given query and to have the user give feedback on those results. The system then uses that information, whether or not those results are relevant, to perform a new query and display more relevant results. Relevance feedback introduces important design choices, including, which operations should be performed automatically by the system and which should be user initiated and controlled, how documents in a collection are ranked and by whom/what, and how much interaction a user should have with the system.
the existence of data links. To execute a requested Linked Data query, live exploration systems perform a recursive URI lookup process during which they incrementally discover further URIs that also qualify for lookup. Thus, such a system explores the queried Web by traversing data links at query execution time. While the data retrieved during such an exploration allows for a discovery of more URIs to look up, it also provides the basis for constructing the query result. Live exploration systems may not need to look up all URIs
This research set out to explore whether the high costs of accommodations in Kingston could be a contributing factor as to why students choose to return to their family homes, or cities after their studies have concluded. After completing this research, it is safe to say that although this is definitely not the only contributing factor as to why students leave, it is likely a small part. This research consisted of two primary research methods: firstly, an online survey which aimed to gauge the responses of at least fifteen panellists (which was exceeded with twenty responses) as well as a series of three in-person interviews. The results of these primary research methods differed slightly from
Every student who enters the period of college has to face the necessity of person entering choosing between living at home or to live on-campus. At a certain time in life, you may have to decipher whether living in a dorm or living at home is a suitable choice. There are several pros and cons that partake in coming to a decision between the choices. There are numerous reasons to live at home such as, and financial sustainability, and additional privacy, etc. However, there are also countless reasons to live in a dorm such as living your own leads to freedom. The choice between dorm life and home life is what leads towards the transformation of the life of a young adult.
