Longest Common Subsequence (LCS)

This is the presentation for Efficient algorithm about Longest common subsequence.

What is LCS?
The longest common subsequence (LCS) problem is to find the longest subsequence common to all sequences in a set of sequences (often just two).

The application of LCS is for finding the common in text string meaning that sometime it used for checking that the code from 2 source are the same or not (so crew for copy, right?) or finding the common in DNA if you want to find if someone is your relative or not (LOL).

How to do this?

Dropbox

Today i'm gonna talk about my distributed technology study and my topic is Dropbox!

First I want to tell you that what will be present today, I'll introduce you to the what is dropbox, concept of Dropbox, How dropbox work and some sample of dropbox if we have time. You may have this kind of problem, like me today, i have to present but I have problem with computer and forgot my USB drive! then you may realize that you need a service that can provide you the resource and you can access anytime with any machine. Umm, kind of interested, isn't it? And that's why Drew Houston founded Dropbox in 2007 and officially launched at 2008 and become more popular in rapid period.

Well! you might want to know what is dropbox, right?

Dropbox is a web-based file hosting service. it uses cloud computing to enable user to store, like here if your computer have a problem like it's on fire or broken. it's no problem if you drop your file on dropbox. And you an share file and folder across the internet using file synchronization. Another feature is keep track, back up of your file, no matter you accident edit your file, you can see the log file here. (เปิดหน้าของ dropbox ให้ดู) And the cool things that i love are multiple OS, big storage (you know for free user, it's start from 2 GB! and you can add 250 MB if you invite other to join Dropbox) and because it can use by multiple format, that mean you can sharing or access the resource anytime, everywhere or whatever if it connected to internet.

Here i'll show you that dropbox can use for any format; window, ubuntu, mac, this is on my smart phone and here is via Dropbox webpage if you didn't install the application.

As I said, Dropbox uses cloud computing to enable user to store and share. Then I wanna tell you the overall image of cloud? I can't tell you more detail about cloud computing, in fact Thee will present us about cloud computer next week. what does it mean?

You know? The concept of cloud computing fills a perpetual need of IT: a way to increase capacity or add capabilities on the fly without investing in new infrastructure, training new personnel, or licensing new software. Cloud computing encompasses any subscription-based or pay-per-use service that, in real time over the Internet, extends IT's existing.

Advantage:scalable, paid only when needed and can be used by any device with a connection to the net directly or by using client programs. actually it can use offline, but the resource is from your computer, in fact, it's on your computer. i'll tell you later how it's work!

Other application: In face, there are another service apart of Dropbox such as Ubuntu one, Box.net, Zumodrive and so on. you know some service and provide more space but I present you the Dropbox because it's the popular one and it seems to be the most stable service now.

How does it work?

- First when you install dropbox application on your computer, one directory on your computer is designated as the drobpox.

- Files placed in the Dropbox are automatically synchronize to cloud. Changes propagate to other machine in your Dropbox network from the cloud.

- Once files are completely synchronized, a green checkbox appears on the bottom of the file or directory icon.

We know that Drop box is a service to share and to share need the client to synchronize. I would say it's intelligent synchronization.

- when files change, only the binary diff is transferred.

- Files are compressed as they travel over the internet.

- If two people modify the same file on separate machines, the first submitter wins. and the second submitter's file is also synchronized.

Where are the files stored?

- If you have installed the Dropbox desktop application, your files are stored both on your computer (in your Dropbox folder) and on Dropbox's secure online servers.

- All files stored online by Dropbox are encrypted and kept securely on Amazon's Simple Storage Service (S3) in multiple data Centers located across the United States.

What is Amazon Simple Storage Service? (Amazon S3)

Amazon S3 is storage for the Internet. It is designed to make web-scale computing easier for developers.

Amazon S3 provides a simple web services interface that can be used to store and retrieve any amount of data, at any time, from anywhere on the web. It gives any developer access to the same highly scalable, reliable, secure, fast, inexpensive infrastructure that Amazon uses to run its own global network of web sites. The service aims to maximize benefits of scale and to pass those benefits on to developers.

Dropbox can be used profitably for distributed evolutionary algorithms, without the need to acquire or set up complicated cloud or grid infrastructure; besides,

Using tools available in every classroom,lab, office or home and freely available over the internet with a good scaling behavior can be set up to perform heavy-duty evolutionary computation experiment.


Here is my presentation for the class: https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B-Ls4RhAgiHeOWU4NTI2YzQtMzgyNS00MTRhLWIyZDItNGQ0YTA5OGRlMjcy&hl=en_US

Advance Note Application

One of the project that i have to finish is Android application. Honestly, ​I didn't do much on coding. This subject was quite interested (i would say that). My team mate is from Vietnam, really great student. :)

Nowadays, it’s unarguable that Smartphone have great potential to be a media tool of choice allowing more interactive and useful in many way. Providing their mobile attribute, useful function and flexibility input (fingertip or voice) is very meaningful. The possibility of applying mobile application is unlimited. As a result of the usefulness of Smartphone, disability people such as blind people also needed to perform normal things on their lives. Realizing in such potential, we are planning to put our effort on the Android Smartphone which is very extensive and easy to implement and provide access to information for people who cannot perform normal thing on Smartphone by using voice input. One of useful application which is very well knows and use widely is every device of all time is Note taking. Computers, particularly tablet PCs and personal digital assistants (PDAs) are beginning to see wide use as note talking devices. It is the way of recording information captured from transient source and it is important for remember and implant the material in the mind.


Functionality

   1. Add title
   2. Add content
   3. Select language
   4. Select type of alarm
   5. Select time for alarm
   6. Select date for alarm

Test case
We also have to present about test case of our project for Software Engineering, we have test every test case (That we can imaging :D)

Here is the list that we test: https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B-Ls4RhAgiHeZTMxZjBhZWMtZDBhNy00ZTI4LWE2Y2MtODMxYThkNWEyYTcz&hl=en_US

PS. Actually, at first my project is going to be like show the attractive place for the traveller. It's name 'Aun  know the plan'. (Really cool name, I like it) It's show the attractive place with google map and try to route the way from place to place to the user. Then they can check in and share with their friends via Facebook,  Twitter or Google+. But my team mate told me that, to work on google map is more difficult, so we select the Note taking and speech stuff. You know what? Then in few weeks I saw this news: http://www.phonearena.com/news/Google-employee-proposal-involves-Maps-plus-custom-Android-app-and-scores-a-yes_id21878

Feeeeeewwwwwww :)

nearly

Dear all,
It's almost 3 month that i started master's degree in field of Software System Engineering. The studying is not going quite well for me. I have too much work from both workplace and university. Actually, work from workplace was not that much but Master's degree need more concentrate and hard work than i expected. I would say I didn't do well in this semester, I don't understand the lecture, i would blame it on me, the subject was not so interested for me. I don't like the subjects like distribute system or network stuff which I couldn't imagine what the result should be. It's like something in the cloud that i couldn't touch.

Good luck for all,
Patama
