The paper looks at the biometric systems (BS) used for identifying a person's identity outlining the key biometric characteristics, describing database management systems (DBMS) required by BS, and addressing the problems related to the use of database in biometric system. The relationship between biometric science and database development techniques is described giving coverage to the current research in the area.

Computer Aided Learning (CAL) has recently gained importance in the study of subject areas ranging from mathematics to music and for the students of all ages, all over the world and has been successful in educing various basic as well as advanced concepts through this new way of learning. This project investigates various issues related to CAL through a comprehensive literature review and attempts to develop a deep understanding of Software Engineering theories and concepts while developing a CAL application for teaching Calculus to the 16-18 year olds. Developing a CAL application is an interdisciplinary field and requires the knowledge of educational issues, the subject area i.e. Calculus in this study and the command over Software Engineering. The review of the literature found that the user interface is the key for the success of interactive learning software package. User Centred approach was therefore employed to design the system with the idea of 'building the right system first, before building it right'. Various techniques such as 'storyboarding' and flow charts were used in the design phase. The implementation was influenced by the Rapid Application Development (RAD) that is an iterative approach and attempts to build the 80% functionality of the system in 20% time. Continuous user testing was done at each iteration, and later evaluated by the real users through a questionnaire. The results show high satisfaction levels as the package was considered very useful by the majority of users. The deliverables include the working system built using HTML (Hyper text mark-up Language), Flash and Java Scripting.

The paper examines the methods of optimising Oracle focusing on the use of index clustering in a database. Experiments are conducted to test relationships between the depttom and emptom tables and compare an unoptimised database to an index clustered database. Conclusions are made about the benefits and drawbacks of clustering.

Open source (free) software licensed under the GPL was taken and modified to implement an instant messaging at a company called Red Ink Productions. The Jabber server free software, Openfire was used and the Jabber client Exodus, also free software was modified to suit the requirements of the company. Documentation accompanying the software began with an introduction to current instant messaging systems, including a description of the protocols and languages used in the design of current instant messaging systems. Then the design and architecture of the Jabber instant messaging system is described in detail, with the help of a UML use-case diagram. The advantages of the Jabber system are also described. This is followed by a description of the customisations made to the software, and a test plan and documentation on the test plan results. A comprehensive user guide is also provided, which includes a technical user guide for server installation and client user guide for end users who includes detailed screenshots. Then an evaluation is done of the entire process that the author went through in installing the system at the company's premises, followed by a critique of the entire process the author went through in the development of the system.

This paper discussed an interesting issue, the "time feeling" of AI/intelligent computers. For example, as computers can do much more in 1 second than human, it might feel that 1 second is much longer than human. It is in the area of cognitive science. Five possible theories (e.g. relevant to epiphenomenalism) were developed and analysed using philosophy methods. Some of the theories are quite innovative and original.
