<center><h3>Current Status</h3></center>
<p align="justify">
- The project is currently undergoing planning decisions.
- The implementation of this central monitoring system is
- expected to completed before Easter.
+ All i-scream components are now functioning to initial
+ design parameters and our system is regarded to be complete.
+ Documentation is available to assist third party programmers
+ in producing Hosts for use with the i-scream server.
+ Our progress during the project can be found in the meeting minutes.
+ Code is viewable via CVS to UKC users only.
+ </p>
+
+ <p align="justify">
+ The i-scream Distributed Central Monitoring System <a href="http://raptor.ukc.ac.uk/~pjm2/reports">Reports</a>
+ are now visible on the web. You may view the latest information
+ about each machine, historical 24-hour reports and alerts for
+ each machine. Please remember that this is work in progress
+ still, so the only data currently viewable is our own data that
+ has been harvested by our own testing. Also note that historical
+ reports are only available for periods during which our server
+ was running.
+ </p>
+
+ <p align="justify">
+ Our current host development allows us to pass machine statistics
+ to our distributed filter arrangement, which then processes the
+ data and stores it for later use. An example of such use is the
+ historical report generator which produces graphs of machine
+ usage over periods of time. A real-time
+ client is also available (Conient) and alert information can be
+ displayed to the public via dynamic web pages.
+ </p>
+
+ <p align="justify">
+ Builds of the i-scream Distributed Central Monitoring System
+ are now available for <a href="/downloads/">download</a> from this
+ website. These are still very much in development and should
+ only be used by people who have been in communication with the
+ development team. Please email us if you wish to use any i-scream
+ software, as we are interested to know who is using it and we may
+ be able to help you out with any problems you encounter.

- <center><h3>Presentations</h3></center>
+ <center><h3>Project Completion</h3></center>
<p align="justify">
- On Monday 16th and Tuesday 17th October all members of the group made presentations to various groups of peers.
+ The project deadline was 4pm on 29 March 2001. Most of the group
+ met very early that morning to compile the project into five
+ lever arch folders. The project, consisting of source code, user,
+ maintenance and other documents, was handed in at 3pm. The CVS
+ repository was tagged to signify the project's completion, however,
+ development and enhancements to the system shall be continued
+ in the near future.
+ </p>
+
+ <p align="justify">
+ As can be seen in the "problem domain" document, the project
+ was aimed at the UKC Computer Science department, and as such
+ we believe a demonstration to the "customer" is important. The
+ feedback from our demonstation was more positive than we had
+ anticipated. We believe that our project may now be of great
+ interest to anybody who wishes to monitor a number of machines
+ on their network using a central configuration.
