<center><h3>Current Status</h3></center>
<p align="justify">
- Most i-scream components are now functioning to initial
- design parameters and data can now be passed through the
- system and displayed successfully. Documentation is still
- being generated, to allow for future development of the
- i-scream project. Detailed information can usually be
- found in the meeting minutes. Code is viewable via CVS
- to UKC users only.

+ The "project" stage of i-scream has finished, leaving the

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 (viewable in a web browser). Realtime
- clients are also currently being developed - one Java Swing GUI
- version and also a command line version that can run in a terminal
- window. Alerting mechanisms are being put in place to complete the
- i-scream system.

<center><h3>Project Completion</h3></center>
<p align="justify">
- The project deadline is 4pm on 29 March. As such, we plan to
- complete the coding process by (at the latest) the end of the
- project week (26/2 - 2/3). This allows time for documentation
- to be tidied up and completed, and printing of the project.
+ <a href="screenshots/"><img border="0" src="screenshots/thumbnail-reports-raptor-latest-misc.gif" width="100" height="104" align="left"></a>
+ The i-scream Distributed Central Monitoring System started off as
+ a final year project for a group of <a href="http://www.cs.ukc.ac.uk">Computer Science</a> students at
+ the <a href="http://www.ukc.ac.uk">University of Kent at Canterbury</a>, UK.
+ The project deadline was 4pm on 29th 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,
+ the project is still being developed by the <a href="acknowledgements.shtml">core development team</a>
+ as we have found the system to be very useful in practice. We would
+ love to hear of ideas for extra features that we may include in the
+ next builds.

+ As can be seen in our "<a href="/probdomain.shtml">problem domain</a>" document, the project
was aimed at the UKC Computer Science department, and as such
- we believe a demonstration to the "customer" is important. We
- plan to do this over the next two weeks, and the feedback given
- will allow any "last minute" alterations to be completed.
+ we believed that a demonstration to the "customer" was important. The
+ feedback from our demonstation was more positive than we had
+ anticipated. We believe that the system may now be of interest
+ to anybody who wishes to monitor a number of machines on their
+ network using a central configuration. The i-scream central
+ monitoring system is now being used by the UKC Computer Science
+ department, and their feedback is being used to further improve
+ the product.

<center><h3>Naming History</h3></center>
<p align="justify">
- The name <b>i-scream</b> arose from a meeting whereupon one member

It later became apparent that we had no name for our project (other
than 'The Project'). It seemed only natural to name our project after
the ice cream that had been oh-so-randomly drawn on the white board.
Copyright issues immediately ruled out anything involving Mr Whippy,
- so we had to settle for <b>i-scream</b>. And thus, we were left with a cunning

play on words - it still sounded like <i>ice cream</i>, yet also

screams at somebody if something has gone wrong...
