The demand for graduates with exposure in Cloud Computing is on the rise. For many educational institutions, the challenge is to decide on how to incorporate appropriate cloud-based technologies into their curricula. In this paper, we describe our design and experiences of integrating Cloud Computing components into seven third/fourth-year…

Built-in data structures are the registers and memory words where binary values are stored; hard-wired algorithms are the fixed rules, embodied in electronic logic circuits, by which stored data are interpreted as instructions to be executed. Various topics related to these two basic elements of every computer program are discussed. (JN)

Discusses software developed to organize and retrieve electronically stored data, examining structure of the databases in which information is stored and the physical structure of the storage medium. Hierarchical and relational databases, unordered files, B-trees, and storage/software for specific purposes (such as weather, stock market, and…

Discusses a number of potential security and privacy problems that are frequently found in educational information systems and presents a framework for reviewing potential risks in an educational information system and procedures for insuring that adequate countermeasure exist. (Author/IRT)

This paper describes the advances in storing and accessing large resources of data as well as possibilities for utilizing these archives in research, instruction, and policy planning. Particular reference is made to the Project TALENT Data Bank. Project TALENT is described briefly. A section summarizes the state of computer technology with respect…

Computer applications currently used on campus and feasible in the near future are discussed, ranging from potentials of word processing for teacher and students, to storage and dissemination of scholarly publications, instructional techniques, and highly efficient information storage. Further exploration of the technology's potential and…

A management data base is seen as essential for a management information system, program budgeting, program costing, management by objectives, program evaluation, productivity measures, and accountability in institutions of higher education. The necessity of a management data base is addressed, along with the benefits and limitations it may have…

The IADIS CELDA 2012 Conference intention was to address the main issues concerned with evolving learning processes and supporting pedagogies and applications in the digital age. There had been advances in both cognitive psychology and computing that have affected the educational arena. The convergence of these two disciplines is increasing at a…
