Traditional poll-site voting methods poise multiple administrative and logistical challenges inter alia scalability, cost and miscount. Moreover, there is a noticeable decline in the turnout rate of eligible voters, particularly the youth. This work proposes a novel mobile voting model that uses common-off-the-shelf (COTS) mobile phones, in conjunction with a Near Field Communication (NFC) tag technology...
A context-aware system may be defined as a system that can understand the context of a given situation and either share this context with other systems for their response or respond by itself. Context has many definitions such as additional information that further describes a given situation. However, the definition of context is very contentious – what is considered context in one system may be...
In this paper, we first look at various definitions of a digital city, influences on its development, and then compare two experiences of digital cities, in Bologna and in Nassau, within their contexts. A digital city could be described as a virtual environment that allows its citizens to access information and participate online in the life of their city and government. However, existing social norms...
This abstract presents an approach, supported by an industrial case study, to data reengineer a sequential file system to a relational database with multiple, linked, normalized tables with properly delimited fields of the correct data type. In addition, the data access logic of the underlying COBOL program is modified to access the newly reengineered relational database rather than the sequential...
COBOL systems, which often rely on legacy sequential file systems, still form a critical part in core business systems, particularly transactional systems. Understanding these systems, through domain analysis, is a critical part of any program code/data reengineering effort. Our approach involves first translating COBOL into a Wide Spectrum Language (WSL) and then subjecting this translation to a...
