This project aims at developing a new hybridised approach to solve this challenging problem. Our progress is reflected in the papers we have published so far. This ongoing research is funded by the Air Force Research Labs, Rome, New York, USA . This project involved the design and implementation of a basic relational database with the support for tables, indexes and a subset of SQL, which allowed for data definition and manipulation. Greater granularity was added by modifying the filesystem to support ACLs.
Internet cafes provide paid computer access to the Internet.
Some users leave downloads running in the background and collect the files later. Sometimes it could be orphaned processes consuming precious bandwidth. Each computer is enabled with an agent, which monitors the network usage and sends the details to the master console. The systems administrator can now locate such computers with runaway download processes without having to scrutinize each computer. Floppies suffer surface damage due to dust and this leads to data loss, more so in Windows NT, because the OS is extremely particular in being able to read the system sectors from the floppy.
