spacebarriers. Since our goal was to deploy about 100 identical LAMP servers, we didn’t need theflexibility of a full Virtual Machine Monitor that emulated the hardware. We turned to a morescalable solution that we discovered was being used by a local web hosting company: OS-Virtualization using Virtuozzo by SW-Soft (now Parallels).In this paper we will first give a brief history of the use of the term “virtual machine” from theearly 70’s until the present. We explain the different models that have been implemented underthe term and how usage of the terms seems to have stabilized recently. We then look at oneapproach in greater detail, OS-Virtualization (sometimes called OS containers), or creating avirtual operating system interface rather that a

The author believes advances in technology are poised tomake huge differences in the way we teach and the way students learn. Future work willinclude implementation of such tools in courses taught and comparative assessment ofstudent learning outcomes.References1. Novak, J. D.; Cañas, A. J.

this type is not a working prototype product but a package of deliverables includingconcepts, descriptions of user needs, and specifications for products or systems, with thoughtfuldesign of the interface and the basic structure of the product(s) or system to be built. Comingfrom a technology background the design team should show a depth of understanding of thetechnical issues facing the product design.In order to achieve high quality results, such as those described above the designers (students)need to follow a reliable design and development process that requires discipline, technical skill,and creative design work. All the attributes for successful capstone courses will be required bythe students, some to an enhanced degree.4. The case

But mostly theseuniversities offer their data mining course as a graduate course. Therefore, the students whograduate from the universities like our university with no graduate computer science programwill not have the opportunity to get Data Mining knowledge.To improve our Database Engineering curriculum, we have decided to add a new Data Miningcourse to this curriculum. The paper first presents this curriculum and then elaborates the contentdetail of this Data Mining course.Introduction:In addition to associate degrees, the Computer Science and Pre-Engineering department offers

compatible with Microsoft SQL Server2005’s data types and has integration with Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 using its ServerExplorer. T-SQL procedures are reported to be supported in a future version.When comparing memory footprints when deployed, we found significant differences betweenSQL CE and Vista DB. To understand how much additional memory footprint was added by the Page 14.123.4EDBMSs, we also compared file sizes to what would be required if traditional sequential file I/Owere used. For our research, we created databases with a single table then populated the tablewith four different numbers of records. For sequential file I/O, we used data

toward multi-core and parallel processingarchitectures, tomorrow’s computer scientists must be educated on the tools and methodologiesfor parallel computing. As educators, teaching parallel hardware and software today is vital togiving our students the tools they need to build tomorrow’s hardware and software. It is crucialthat parallel and distributed computing topics be integrated into computer science curricula.References:[1] Lin, Calvin and Lawrence Snyder, “Principles of Parallel Programming”.
