This coming December 4, 2009 will be the annual convention of MSITS. It will be held at the Holy Cross of Davao College, CYO Gym, from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. In this convention will be the presentation of different researches and projects from different schools in Mindanao. This event was spearheaded by our very own Mr. RSG from the University of Southeastern Philippines. Apparently two of the presenters in this convention are students of the Institute of Computing, University of Southeastern Philippines. The two entries, one which is a system that is to be implemented in the university and the other one is a research about green computing that focuses on providing solutions for global warming, are worthy to be part of the topics that will be presented on the MSITS. During our second meeting in our Systems Analysis and Design 1 subject, the presenters were asked to present their entries to us so as to serve as our basis for our proposals and to serve as their evaluation on the upcoming convention.
UNIISYS (University Integrated Systems)
The UNIISYS or the University Integrated Systems is a collection of sub systems that were developed by the 4th year students of the Institute of Computing. Mr. Michaelangelo Macaraeg was the one who presented their system and he is also the one who will be presenting the system in the upcoming convention. The goal of the system is to provide solution to some commonly used transactions of the students in the university and they aim to ease the life of the students by developing this system. One of the subsystem in UNIISYS in the G.I.S or rather it was the Davao G.I.S. It is a system that shows you the entire map of Davao City including the streets, landmarks, buildings and establishments. What's amazing about this subsystem is that it can show you the information you need about a certain establishment, you can search for a certain building and the one thing that strucked me most is the feature that shows the shortest path to be taken from one place to another and it can be either by walking, riding a private car or comuting. There was also one subsytem that could show the map of the university and its functions are somewhat like the G.I.S , however, it has added features. The other subsystems were eSkolar, eTudlo, eBaligya, Alumnay Sa Usep, etc. The subsystems were properly planned inorder to be integrated as a single system. This system, if implemented, can ease the life of the students when it comes to transactions and the like.
Open Co2 Monitor
The Open Co2 Monitor is a research project of Mr. Ronic Winmar Conecpion and Ms. Ymreb Momville, both are 4th year students of the Institute of Computing. Their research focused on adressing the problem of global warming. The name "Open" means Opensource because the Institute of Computing supports opensource softwares, "Co2 Monitor", a means of monitoring carbon dioxide. Initially, they discussed how Co2 levels rise from electricty cosumed in housholds. It starts from the appliances and devices that are plugged in the sockets of the house and then these devices consume energy that are generated from powerplants, poweplants that use fossil fule and the like to generate energy and in turn generates Co2 and expells it into the atmosphere. So thechnically speaking it is not the households that produces Co2 but the powerplant that powers these households. The more energy consumed the more Co2 is expelled in the atmosphere.
Open Co2 Monitor is a software that aims to monitor and lessen Co2 levels by the use of a sensor that is attached to the main line, the circuit breaker for instance, then the sensor transmits a signal to a device that is somewhat like a decoder that translates the signals into digital data and then transmits it to the computer. The Open Co2 Monitor's interface is a program developed from Java programming language, there you can monitor your electricity usage in watts, the amount of Co2 being expelled in pounds, and other details that I unfortunately forgot. You could also monitor your electricty bill when using the program from the interface. The data from your computer is also transmitted to a host site, the name of the site is Pachube, that is used to show Co2 readings. Actually Pachube is a site where you can store, share & discover realtime sensor, energy and environment data from objects, devices & buildings around the world. Pachube is still in beta testing and it is not yet open for everyone.
I was really amazed when the presenters tested the Open Co2 Monitor and it was really functional. Mr. Ronic attached the sensor to his laptop and the readings were displayed on the interface of the computer when they executed the program. It amazed me evenmore when the readings were shown on the internet. I mean you could actually monitor your electricy consumption and electricity bill even when you're not in you own house but just browsing the internet. I was just admiring their works during the duration of the class. It made me proud and think high of the students in the Institute of Computing. Minds do really come up with great ideas when you put your mind to it.
The MSITS convention serves as a stepping for the these presenters to do more reasearch and develop systems that provide solutions to problems. After all, IT people are solution providers. I am personally looking forward on being on that convention and I hope I could learn and absorb a lot of information from it.

hi, "mus"! hehe
i know you posted this a long time ago but i read it just now. i would like to correct you, however. it's not eBaligya - it's eBenta. hehe.
good luck with your proposals! hope you won't make the same mistakes we did.
