The document discusses how various web services can be used in a mobile money management application called MoneyMind. It describes the functionality of PayPal, Google Maps, Proximiant, and Google Charts and how they would be integrated into and accessed from MoneyMind. PayPal would be used for payments and account verification. Google Maps would integrate transaction history to show spending locations. Proximiant would create digital receipts from transaction data. Google Charts would visualize spending data through interactive charts. All services would be accessed through their APIs using JavaScript, XML, HTTPS, and other standards.
The document describes a military simulator system that utilizes various technologies to provide immersive and realistic training experiences. It uses virtual reality to create 360 degree visual environments, motion sensing to track user movements in real-time, and force feedback mechanisms like an electrified vest to simulate physical sensations like injuries. It also proposes using RFID microchips implanted in users to easily identify individuals and transmit medical data. The system aims to improve training outcomes for the military by more closely replicating real-world combat situations.
This document discusses whether multitasking improves productivity. While multitasking allows people to handle multiple tasks at once, it does not mean that more tasks are getting completed. Instead, multitasking spreads attention too thinly across tasks, which can decrease both productivity and quality. Employers asking employees to multitask often leads them to focus less on their main tasks, reducing productivity over the long run. Multitasking also reduces the quality of family time and final work products as full attention is not given to any one task. Overall, fully focusing on one task at a time is more efficient and leads to increases in both productivity and quality of life.
The document proposes a mash-up service called Smart Travel Aid that integrates existing travel services like Trip Advisor, Urban Spoon, Google Maps and Translate to provide travelers with accommodation, restaurant, activity and transportation information for Brisbane, Australia. It describes the included services, presents mock-ups of the interface and discusses strengths, limitations and potential improvements such as expanding coverage, adding booking capabilities and developing a mobile app.
This document proposes a design for a rainwater filtration and storage system for households in An Minh District, Mekong Delta Region, Vietnam. The design aims to address issues of limited water treatment which creates health problems. It involves filtering rainwater through charcoal made from rice husks, then disinfecting it with ultraviolet light before storing it in existing ceramic or concrete jars. The document outlines the design requirements, proposed system, community engagement aspects, and cost considerations to implement the system locally using sustainable materials and labor.
The document describes an automated fridge system that monitors stock levels and customer preferences. The fridge is connected to a security panel and database that tracks minimum stock levels and alerts Woolworths' customer center for replenishment. It also collects information about customers' brand preferences, including competitors' products. This data is analyzed to help Woolworths improve its fridges and offer the brands that customers prefer.
1) Responsible shopping means using your purchasing power to vote for companies and products that align with your values through the products you buy.
2) Australians have significant collective purchasing power totaling over $1 trillion annually that influences markets.
3) Providing consumers with easy-to-use tools to guide responsible shopping decisions could help maximize the positive impact of this spending power.
This document discusses service computing and presents a proposed dynamic management solution for small and medium enterprises. It describes how Dropbox, Reckon Accounts, Trello, and Microsoft Dynamics CRM could be integrated to provide an affordable alternative to expensive business software. Screenshots of a mockup interface show how the system would allow customers to select products, employees to track tasks, and integration between the different services. The summary concludes that combining these tools provides an effective service computing solution for businesses.

The document proposes a website and app called Universal Education that would provide educational materials to students around the world for free. It aims to address the lack of access to education in many third world countries by offering learning resources across various subjects and academic levels without requiring an internet connection for the app. The platform would include videos, online tutoring, course materials, and tools to help students of different abilities. The goal is to use technology to promote greater equality in education globally and support development in various fields.
Service computing aims to develop interoperable applications through technologies like web services and cloud computing. The "Get a Nightlife" mobile app integrates Google Maps, Facebook, ticket vendor Moshtix, and taxi service Yellow Cabs to provide a one-stop solution for nightlife activities like directions, event listings, check-ins, and cab booking. Mockups show how the various services would be accessed through a simple user interface. The app has potential for growth but also risks regarding user privacy, ongoing development costs, and balancing utility and social interaction.
Service computing bridges traditional IT systems and business services by providing custom solutions to complex business needs like web services, cloud computing, and software as a service. It ensures businesses' needs are met efficiently. Drops is a proposed solution that integrates location data, social media content, and augmented reality to allow users to discover and share media about locations they visit. By geotagging and "dropping" content, users can view media left by others at the same spots to recreate shared experiences.
