Data maps serve the purpose of visually representing information. They are especially useful for allowing people to grasp complex data structures. An interactive data map adds the functionality of people and systems being able to interact with the data through the use of the data map. This interaction may include navigation through parts of data structures or physically manipulating the underlying data. In this study the feasibility of utilising an interactive data map implemented for the purpose of energy management in industries, such as gold mining and cement manufacturing, is taken under consideration. The interactive data map forms part of a complete energy management system that entails automated data capturing, control systems data aggregation, automated reporting and online interactive data presentation. A software component, which is developed for the purpose of illustrating the use of such a data map, will serve as the main line of discussion. Various requirements from the current state of a airs are identi ed in the literature study. These are utilised as the basis of the speci cations against which the interactive data map, as an e cient software tool for control, communication and policy compliance, is validated and veri ed. / Thesis (MIng (Computer and Electronic Engineering))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2013

With an overview how Moodle plugin works, this paper aims to focus on those areas where open source software impact has on learning management system software which is distributed for free. One of the essential goal of this project is to develop plugin tool for Moodle, which aid users by providing less interaction time while adjusting date related tasks mainly with courses and assignments, which currently in the Moodle system is accomplished by a lot of steps. The project concentrated on two application functions, namely assignment_daterollover and course_daterollover. These two application plugin features in Moodle learning environment allows instructors to automatically update all date items in their course at the beginning of each semester. Date adjustments can easily be made to each assignments in a course through one centralized screen, rather than having to go into each individual learning activity. The two plugin tool options are one which will change the course start date by which all assignments can be simultaneously set forward by a specified number of days which is called course_daterollover and the other option is to adjust individual assignment items within a course which is called assignment_daterollover. Through the methods, the number of steps (clicks) has been counted and compared with the existing date adjustment method in Moodle for course and assignments, to evaluate and identity UI limitations Heuristic evaluation method is used. The plugin is implemented using block-plugin, because of its appearance to simply reside the content on the right or left side of each main course page, which also gives users the right to turn it on or off if they don't want to use it. In addition, the tool can be used as an option associated with the existing Moodle date adjustment system from the point of view of having a different design. The result is a user-friendly plugin tool interface for the stated two purposes which have less number of clicks than the Moodle date adjustment system for courses and assignments. The plugin tool can be used by anyone since it has been published on Github. As a conclusion, Moodle with its cost-effectiveness can serve a lot of users around the world.

Τα ιστολόγια αποτελούν πλέον ένα αναπόσπαστο κομμάτι της καθημερινής διαδικτυακής μας ζωής. Τα εμπιστευόμαστε τόσο για την ψυχαγωγία μας αλλά ακόμη περισσότερο για την ενημέρωσή μας. Μέσα στην πληθώρα των ιστολογίων και των άρθρων, καθώς και στον περιορισμένο χρόνο της καθημερινή μας ζωής, έχει δημιουργηθεί η ανάγκη για την παρουσίαση πληροφορίας η οποία ανταποκρίνεται στο προσωπικό μας γούστο, στις προτιμήσεις μας και στις ανάγκες μας. Έτσι, καθορίστηκε το θέμα της συγκεκριμένης διπλωματικής εργασίας ως η δημιουργία ενός συστήματος πρότασης άρθρων και παρακολούθησης ιστολογίων για την υπηρεσία Blogger, με τίτλο «The Researcher». Το σύστημα προσφέρει δυνατότητες παρακολούθησης ιστολογίων, ανάγνωσης άρθρων με βάση κάποιες προ-καθορισμένες κατηγορίες, πρότασης ιστολογίων και άρθρων για τον κάθε χρήστη ξεχωριστά με βάση το προφίλ του και τις προτιμήσεις του, καθώς και αναζήτηση στον ιστό ή τοπικά για άρθρα με βάση κάποια keywords. Το σύστημα έχει δημιουργηθεί με τέτοιο τρόπο έτσι ώστε οι περισσότερες λειτουργίες να είναι αυτοματοποιημένες και να μην χρειάζεται την επέμβαση του χρήστη. Πέρα από τη συμπλήρωση του προφίλ του, δεν χρειάζονται περαιτέρω κινήσεις από αυτόν καθώς το σύστημα καταγράφει και αναλύει τις κινήσεις του, έτσι ώστε να διαμορφωθούν αναλόγως τα αποτελέσματα των προτάσεων. Εδώ έγκεινται και οι καινοτομίες του συστήματος. Το σύστημα προτάσεων του «The Researcher», συμπεριλαμβάνει τον συνδυασμό διαφόρων recommendation τεχνικών με τελικό στόχο την εμφάνιση των άρθρων που πραγματικά ενδιαφέρουν το χρήστη. Το σύστημα χαρακτηρίζεται από δυναμικότητα, καθώς δεν σταματάει να μαθαίνει αλλά εξελίσσεται συνεχώς, καταγράφοντας και αφομοιώνοντας κάθε αλλαγή στα patterns των κινήσεων των χρηστών. / Blogs have become an essential part of our daily internet routine. We trust them both for our entertainment and even more for our information. Among the plethora of blogs and articles and the limited free time of our daily life, there has been created the need to view only the information that corresponds to our personal tastes and needs. The object of this thesis is to create a recommender system which will adapt the information individually on every user. The system takes account the user’s profile and his reading pattern, so it can propose to him only the information that he is most likely to read and like. The system provides capabilities such as reading the latest blog posts, reading articles from predefined categories, proposing articles and blogs for each user based on his profile and his preferences and searching the web or the system for blog posts based on some keywords. The system is set up in such a way that most functions are automated and does not require user intervention. The users aren't required to take any other action than completing their profile. The system records and analyzes their movements in order for the results to be customized accordingly. Here lie the system innovations. The system's proposal engine includes a combination of different recommendation techniques with the aim to show the articles that really interest the user. The system is characterized by its dynamic form as it never stops learning. It is constantly evolving as it records and assimilates any changes in the movement patterns of users.

Målet med detta projekt har varit att delta i ett dagligt arbete på tidningen Norra Västerbotten. Mer ingående skulle frågor om arbetsprocessen för webbutvecklarna besvaras, hur nya uppgifter inkommer, hur projekt implementeras och vad som händer med produkter efter implementeringen. Dessa frågor besvarades med hjälp av praktiskt arbete jämsides med webbutvecklarna på företaget men även genom att ställa frågor och föra samtal med nyckelpersoner. De studier som och det praktiska arbetet som genomfördes har gett en bild över hur arbetsprocessen på Norra Västerbotten vanligtvis ser ut, det har framkommit vilka metoder som ligger som grund för arbetet på tidningen men även vilka versionshanteringssystem och lagringstjänster de använder sig utav. En ingående konstruktionsrapportering finns med där mycket fokus ligger på ett av de större projekten som arbetats med under praktik perioden. Rapporten avslutas med en diskussion om hur projektet har fortskridit, vad som var svårare och lättare, vad författaren lärt sig och vad hon vill fortsätta använda och skaffa mer kunskap inom.

Resumo: Uma das maiores preocupações atualmente das empresas é a qualidade dos produtos e serviços oferecidos aos clientes. Por outro lado, devido à globalização e da competição cada vez maior entre as empresas, a satisfação dos clientes de um determinado serviço tem merecido atenção especial por parte da alta administração das empresas. Tendo em vista medir a qualidade de serviços e, conseqüentemente, ficar em uma situação de aperfeiçoamento dos serviços prestados, a empresa deve aplicar uma técnica adequada para fazer essa avaliação. Uma técnica que tem semostrado muito eficiente é aquela que foi desenvolvida por Parasuraman, Zeithaml e Berry em 1988, chamada SERVQUAL. No entanto, a falta de um software específico à sua aplicação sempre dificultou a utilização do método. Este trabalho é uma tentativa de preenchimento dessa lacuna. Nessa dissertação também foram descritas às etapas de criação e todo o embasamento estatístico do método, inclusive no que diz respeito à dimensionalidade e onfiabilidade da escala, que podem ser verificadas pela Análise Fatorial e pelo coeficiente Alfa de Cronbach, respectivamente. Os dados utilizados no presente estudo e o processo de criação do software são também descritos. O software foi desenvolvido em linguagens de programação PHP e R de forma integrada, juntamente com o sistema gerenciador de banco de dados MySQL. Utilizando-se o sistema esenvolvido foram analisados dois conjuntos de dados, um proveniente de um estudo de caso da avaliação de qualidade de uma grande empresa brasileira e, outro, simulado. Os resultados obtidos destas análises são apresentados nessa dissertação. Ao final, conclui-se que o software criado viabiliza adequadamente a aplicação do SERVQUAL, pois todos os cálculos, gráficos e tabelas são gerados de forma emi-automática. No fim da dissertação, constam ainda dois apêndices. Um refere-se ao código empregado na geração dos dados simulados e o outro ao manual do software desenvolvido.
