+ The current system for graphing i-scream data from the i-scream
+ system is good, but proving to be unscalable and very resource
+ hungry. This is mostly due to the MySQL database backend,
+ and the vast quantity of data recorded. The new system
+ in development makes use of <a href="http://rrdtool.eu.org/">
+ RRDtool</a> to generate the graphs in realtime. This reduces
+ the peak loads of the system, and allows generation of more
+ flexible graphs. This work is nearing completetion.

+ <b>Server security</b><br><br>
+ Security was something mostly overlooked in the original stage
+ of this project (due to the academic nature of the work). However,
+ once in production use this has become an issue, and is being
+ addressed. Initially the plan is to lock down the external points
+ of access (TCP & UDP) in the server to specific hosts. In the
+ longer term, encryption of data would be nice, but would take a
+ lot more time and work.

+ The i-scream system is being tested and developed within the
+ Univeristy of Kent Computer Science department by the Systems
+ Group. This has led to many bug fixes and minor feature
+ enhancements, and will hopefully help to aid the long term
+ development of the system.
