The contribution of each MSc module to the overall programme learning outcomes was assessed using a Module Matrix. An overall Master Matrix was used to assess the overall contribution of all 16 modules to the programme learning outcomes of the MSc programme. The analysis of the MSc programme design was taken a stage further by graphing the learning outcomes of the overall programme against the individual module learning outcomes. This provided a useful tool for analysis of the MSc programme. The approach outlined in this paper provides a visualisation tool that allows the programme designer to quickly identify the deficiencies and excesses in the relationships between programme learning outcomes and module learning outcomes.展开更多

This paper presents the authors’ suggestions on the concepts and philosophy of quality-assured industry-oriented higher education based on the close cooperation between DIT and HIT, particularly on the recently completed EU Asia-Link EMERSION project in relation to software education, as a constructive contribution to the process of re-engineering higher education.展开更多

This has been due to a number of driving forces, however the main impetus of this tendency has been the development and implementation of Web Services technology. Web Services offer a solution to deliver a dynamic, task-driven computing environment and shared business processes, while also reducing costs. Web Services have overturned many traditional assumptions about Information Systems. They have enabled innovation and afforded a degree of flexibility not available previously from an Information System. This paper will give a brief overview of Web Services and corresponding technologies. It will then examine the required skills of graduates and identify the roles where these proficiencies will be required. Finally, it will propose that the flexibility afforded by the use of Web Services must be emulated in the teaching of Web Services.展开更多

The method extracts information from the log analysis of submitted packets using the algorithm which depends on the definition of the intrusion. Large itemsets were extracted to represent the super facts to build the association analysis for the intrusion. Network data files were analysed for experiments. The analysis and experimental results are encouraging with better performance as packet frequency number increases.展开更多
