||Oracle8i, Java, JDBC

Computer Science Department Laboratory at Florida State University was validating access to its computer labs maintaining log sheets manually. The difficulties experienced in tracking information and monitoring the collected data lead to the development of a new utility facilitating fast, accurate and organized collection of user data. A Java Tool suite was designed to automate card validation of users entering computer labs and to support analysis and query of the collected data. The system implements Java threads and takes advantage of log files created during validation and an Oracle Database Server 8i installed on one of the department’s servers. The tool suite consists of Reader Interface, Configuration Tool, Database Manager Interface and Report-Query Tool. Reader Interface transfers data from the card reader hardware to log files. Configuration Tool allows GUI configuration of settings for the Reader Interface. Database Manager, a multi-client server transfers data to an Oracle database. Report-Query Tool creates graphs and performs queries to analyze collected data. The tools have been built in Java to provide a solid basis to maintain platform-independence.

|Key Benefits

Silver diamond bullet Ease of use: The interface is very simple to allow fast validation by acquiring the      information from the student’s FSU ID. giving instant visual feedback to the user.

Silver diamond bullet Robustness: Computer labs are open more than 8 hours a day. The application runs      consistently with very little maintenance requirements.

Silver diamond bullet Accuracy: Recorded data is adopted for statistical analysis taking into consideration      the capacity of the lab to provide guidelines in determining future revisions of the labs.

Silver diamond bullet Security: The components sensitive to data collection or data privacy are protected.

Silver diamond bullet Support to monitor Security: Dedicated personnel to investigate cases of theft or      damaged equipment uses the collected data. Student’s ID is required to enter the lab and      is recorded by the program.

Silver diamond bullet Ease of Installation:The program is configurable to accommodate usage in different      locations.

Silver diamond bullet Platform-independence: Computer Science Department maintains different      operating systems: Windows NT Server, Unix Solaris, Red Hat Linux. The system is      designed to support platform independence and provide a basis to easily upgrade the      components to work in different platforms

Silver diamond bullet Supervision from a remote location: A feature to monitor lab usage is      implemented to supervise the computer labs from a remote location.
