Right now. . .

Right now, hopefully it would be the last sem for my course. I'm a graduating student taking computer science. As a fourth student, it is assumed that I must be competitive enough for this field of expertise chosen and ready to face the outside world. It is expected that I have learned a lot and good enough to share unto others. But it seems that I don't like that. Maybe, it is because I haven't truly developed my confidence yet or just to humble to say that "I am better" now.

I have experience and learned a lot from this course. I never expect to love everything that happened to my college years. I fell that I truly belong here. All the years were very challenging and full of hardship. Everything was great.

I don't know exactly how to describe an IT professional compare to other professionals. I don't know exactly how to differentiate him/her, but since he called professional, I'm sure that he/she must truly be one knowledgeable person. True clever that can manage his/her own resource; time , knowledge and personality. He/she is surely very confident on the way he/she deliver his/her self to the others. He/she knows what is better or not when he/she is in a situation.

Right this time, I am sure that I don't possess all of those characteristics yet but I believe I could be someone like that in proper time, soon.

Our Future Technology

Technology is very important. Some people perform their job and daily activities with this technologies. In fact, some people can't live without these technologies. All the technologies we have right now emerged from our necessities and needs. Until now, I fell that nothing have change from the way most people look at these technologies every time.We use the technology because of the following main reasons, we it use for our job, for leisure time and fun, and make nevertheless, to make our works easy and fast. And other important things which supports the daily activity of people.

Maybe, because of people around us, the new fashion trend and the type of job we have, we are influenced or somewhat force to use these technology.

For me, the key factors that affect the changes in technology is the environment which people is interacting with and affects the people's need and the competition between developers.
Technology has given has many advantages but also disadvantages that may become causes of huge problem to the people.

Completing a Paper

Conducting research is truly not easy. . . one great challenge is the time management. . . even starting from scratch consumes a lot of effort. . . i realized that one factor to complete research work is advance reading . . . although it's boring. . .but you'll realized soon the benefits of reading in advance. . . read published thesis and research from your alumni in school. . .

Objectives:
1. To conserve water usage.
2. To minimize human labor.
3. To have flexible Irrigation System for farmers.
4. To ensure well distribution of water.
5. To maximize farm profit.

Electronic National and Local Elections

Technology is applied to one vital functions of the government which is conducting a timely elections of leaders.

Objectives:
1. To have a more reliable election procedure.
2. To have faster casting and counting of votes.
3. To have ease gathering of data for statistical analysis.
4. To have flexible electoral process.
5. To have easy reviews and evaluations of results.

Animation Society

Animation is a good field of Information Technology that people can create break-out and be internationally competitive of.

Objectives:
1. To create a progressive community for animation technology.
2. To create new animation techniques and advances.
3. To develop new animating tools and softwares.
4. To add employment.
5. To participate international competitions.


Method over Methodology

Any process or manner of doing something can be called a method while methodology refers to principles using methods or a study of methods. In a formal definition in wikipedia.org a methodology is defined as "the analysis of the principles of methods, rules, and postulates employed by a discipline" and refering to thinkexist.com, a method is orderly procedure or process.

Methodology as seen, is a term derived from methods.



Review Glance


As I read Mr. Tello's review about Detection and Localization of Network Blackholes , I'm truly getting interested about the topic. In the reference (wikipedia.org) he used, network blackholes refer to places in the network where incoming traffics that silently discarded or dropped, without informing the source that the data did not reach its intended recipient.

The research about network balckholes is truly recent and very interesting. It is a good starting point for development. Maybe algorithms and methods lately developed are not yet sufficient for detection and localizing network blackholes.

The reviewer is right that it is a challenge for researchers on how to create measures regarding network blackholes. This only shows that current technology has still its limitations and holes.




About IT Magazines. . .

For a researcher have chance his/her work be published in popular journals such ACM and IEEE, his/her paper must be a one of a kind. It simple means that the work have great significance (can be, your work is now being used nationally) and have quality of a best research work. I believe, it is not easy for a work be published in top-tier international journals.

According to the ACM's Right and Responsiblities in ACM Publishing, a summited work runs through different components before it is being published, namely; Reviewing, Processing of Accepted Works and Dissemination[1]. This simply shows, that well-knowed international journals tightly screen submitted works before subjecting it to publication.
