Online Application Monitoring Tool

In some classes, students take online tests and some types of network activity (for example trying to find the answers in www.google.com) will be considered as cheating during the exam. It would be useful if instructor could monitor online activities of each student to detect cheating. The goal of this project is to develop such a tool using client/server architecture. Tool should display the student\u27s hostname and the website visited during unauthorized web activity. Professor should able to see the applications opened by all students and he will have an option to view the log files of all the students during the session and also at the end of the session. The tool will display the student\u27s hostname during login and logout from the network

Verkkojärjestelmien seurantatyökalujen kehittäminen

With increasing amounts of software services provided to users and the more demanding requirements needed from them, monitoring of services is becoming increasingly important. Web service monitoring is the process of confirming system functionality by studying its various attributes, such as availability, reliability, and performance. Monitoring the services helps the software developers, maintainers and owners as they allow for increased reliability, robustness and possibly performance analysis. This thesis focuses on web service monitoring and the tools that it is done with. Specific goals are to learn about the different categories that monitoring services can take and to showcase a custom web service monitoring tool and its further development. The subject is important to the case company LogiNets, which has specific monitoring requirements that need to be fulfilled. These goals were achieved by researching literature on different types of monitoring tools for a literature review and then doing a case study of monitoring tool development. The case study was done about adding a new functionality to LogiNets’s indoor web service monitoring tool called Agent. The literature review was successful in identifying different categories of monitoring tools both by their location relative to the monitored service as well as by the quality of service requirements they fulfill. The review did not, however, discover significant research about existing commercial monitoring tools, and thus provided little help in the case study. The case study was more successful, with the new functionality added and similar extensions planned for the future

IPv6 Network Monitoring Tool

IPv6 is a new version of the internetworking protocol designed to address the scalability and service shortcomings of the current standard, IPv4.Unfortunately, IPv4 and IPv6 are not directly compatible, so programs and systems designed to one standard can not communicate with those designed to the other. Consequently, it is necessary to develop smooth transition mechanisms that enable applications to continue working while the network is being upgraded. In this paper the author presents the design and implementation of a network monitoring tool for the latest Internet Protocol; IPv6 which is designed for Microsoft Windows platform. The development of network has increased the need to monitor the nodes that is operating across the same network. The network monitoring tool aims to capture and analyze IP related packets (IPv6 packets) before executing report on the results found

Program to determine space vehicle response to wind turbulence

Computer program was developed as prelaunch wind monitoring tool for Saturn 5 vehicle. Program accounts for characteristic wind changes including turbulence power spectral density, wind shear, peak wind velocity, altitude, and wind direction using stored variational statistics

Armiarma: Ethereum2 Network Monitoring Tool

Achieving the equilibrium between scalability, sustainability and security has prevailed as the ideal solution for decentralized blockchain applications over the last years. Several approaches have been proposed being Ethereum a solid proposal among them. Ethereum is on the path of a major protocol improvement called Ethereum 2.0 (Eth2), implementing Sharding and introducing the Proof-of-Stake (PoS). As the change of consensus mechanism is a delicate matter, this improvement will be achieved through different phases, the first of which is the implementation of the Beacon Chain. The implementation of the latest has been stated with the recent launch of the Eth2 main net. In this work, we introduce an Eth2 network monitor tool, called Armiarma, used to generate a complete analysis of the p2p network of the Eth2 main net. In this paper, we present some of the results of what this Eth2 network monitor can achieve

MONAA: A Tool for Timed Pattern Matching with Automata-Based Acceleration

We present monaa, a monitoring tool over a real-time property specified by either a timed automaton or a timed regular expression. It implements a timed pattern matching algorithm that combines 1) features suited for online monitoring, and 2) acceleration by automata-based skipping. Our experiments demonstrate monaa's performance advantage, especially in online usage.Comment: Published in: 2018 IEEE Workshop on Monitoring and Testing of Cyber-Physical Systems (MT-CPS

Implementing Guided Inquiry Learning and Measuring Engagement Using an Electronic Health Record System in an Online Setting

In many courses, practical hands-on experience is critical for knowledge construction. In the traditional lab setting, this construction is easy to observe through student engagement. But in an online virtual lab, there are some challenges to track student engagement. Given the continuing trend of increased enrollment in online courses, learning sciences need to address these challenges soon. To measure student engagement and actualize a social constructivist approach to team-based learning in the virtual lab setting, we developed a novel monitoring tool in an open-source electronic health records system (EHR). The Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) approach is used to engage students in learning. In this paper, we present the practice of POGIL and how the monitoring tool measures student engagement in two online courses in the interdisciplinary field of Health Information Management. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt at integrating POGIL to improve learning sciences in the EHR clinical practice. While clinicians spend over 52% of a patient visit time on computers (called desktop medicine), there is very little focus on learning sciences and pedagogy to train clinicians. Our findings provide an approach to implement learning sciences theory to eHealth use training

Development of monitoring tool by pharmacists

Purpose: Drug side effects often lead to serious outcomes. Administration of second-generation antipsychotics has resulted in diabetic ketoacidosis and diabetic coma leading to death. Therefore, pharmacists are required to collect information on clinical test values, determine the appropriate test timing, and coordinate with doctors for further clinical laboratory orders, all of which are labor- and time-intensive tasks. In this study, we developed a side effect-monitoring tool and aimed to clarify the influence and efficiency of monitoring side effects by using the tool in patients taking atypical antipsychotics in whom it is necessary to check clinical test values such as blood sugar levels. Methods: We extracted clinical test values for patients treated with second-generation antipsychotics from electronic medical records. The test values are automatically displayed in the side effect grade classification specified by CTCAE ver. 4.0. A database was constructed using scripts to provide alerts for the timing of clinical testing. The pharmacist used this tool to confirm clinical test values for patients taking medication and requested the physician to inspect orders based on the appropriate test timings. Results: The management tool reduced the pharmacists’ effort in collecting information on patients’ prescription status and test values. It enabled patients to undergo tests at the appropriate time according to the progression of glucose metabolism and allowed for easy monitoring of side effects. Conclusion: The results suggested that regardless of pharmacists’ experience or skill, the introduction of this tool enables centralization of side-effect monitoring and can contribute to proper drug use
