Abstract - Reading tutorial aims to teach kids the letters of alphabet and its correct sounds, teach kids on how to read certain words and identify the image associated with it and provides teachers a supplementary tool in teaching a preschoolers to read. This study was evaluated by ten (10) pre-schoolers teachers, twenty-five (25) pre-schoolers kids ranging from four (4) to six (6) years old, and ten (10) parents. The overall mean score is 4.47 which is equivalent to very good rating. Usability got the highest mean score which is 4.62. This attests that the system is usable in the day care center; it is easily understood by the pre-schoolers. Its user-friendliness allows pupil to learn faster. Portability follows next; it got a mean score of 4.57 and a descriptive meaning of Excellent. This proves that the program can be easily installed in any desktop computer and can be transferred from one computer to another computer easily. Efficiency falls on third ranking, this shows that the requirements given by the day care center are met and used in the system. The system Maintainability got a score of 4.46. This shows that the program flow is easy to understand. Changes in content can be easily done and errors are minimal. Functionality landed on fifth place with a score of 4.36. The evaluator wanted to include database which will store and compare scores of students who uses the system. Reliability got the lowest ranking with an interpretation of Very Good. The user wanted to have more games facility. |

Abstract - The website monitors the performance of the OJT students of College of Computer Studies Student of University of Perpetual Help System Laguna. Rapid Application Development was used to facilitate faster software development scheme of the system. Use Case Diagrams and Activity Diagrams were utilized to illustrate the system functions and routines. Personal Home Page: Hypertext Processor or simply PHP was utilized as the software platform in this study. The tools that have been used were XAMPP Server, Adobe Dreamweaver CS6 Various fact finding techniques in the analysis, design, development and evaluation of the intended software were used. Fact finding instruments such as interviewing and observation were applied to determine the requirements of the desired application. Questionnaires were used for measuring the efficiency of the system as evaluated by the end-users. Results of the evaluation on the system were based on ISO 9126 standard which showed that the criteria on efficiency ranked as the highest, followed by the portability and reliability, criteria for functionality and lastly criteria for the maintainability and usability of the system ranks as the lowest. The Development of online OJT performance for CCS student’s system has achieved its functional requirements in applying the modern way of conducting, efficient use of time of the students, adviser and supevisor. Therefore, the system is highly recommended to be implemented on college of computer studies which call for effective and efficient assessment tool. |

Abstract - The aim of this paper is to develop an extended agile software development project budget model for the incorporation of an explicit risk management practice in the agile software methodology. This became necessary since the importance of managing risks explicitly in the agile software development methods is increasingly being stressed as seen in the literature reviewed. However, the knowledge of the constituents of explicit risk management is not streamlined yet and consequently its cost is not known. To achieve the aim of this paper, the constituents of an explicit risk management process were first derived. This was followed with development of Use Case model to enable the researcher identify the various requirements that would be involved in developing the model. The development of the extended model was then made with the aid of the use case model. The model, though theoretical, will give insight to stakeholders, developers and business analysts on the budget requirements of explicitly managing risk in the agile software development projects. |

Abstract - With the increasing data sizes and complexity of algorithms, and dead lock reached in processor clock frequency due to power constraints, multi core and many core CPUs and GPUs have been developed for parallel computing. This has become an inevitable approach for high volume data processing such as image processing. There have been several APIS for parallel processing developed with added merits and potentials, such as OpenACC, OpenMP, OpenCL and CUDA. Among these, the CUDA is implementable on NDVIDIAs GP-GPUs. Whereas others are implementable on multicore and many core CPUs and GPUs, include Intel Xeon Phi co-processors. Here we review both the hardware and software architectures of the devices and API. Then, compare the performance of OpenMP 2.x API when used on Intel Quad Core i7 (8 threads) processor with dual Intel Xeon 12 core (48 threads) CPUs by optimizing an image processing code on clustering in multispectral feature space using remote sensing data. The maximum speedup 5x is achieved on Intel i7 core CPU and speedup of 13x is achieved on Intel Xeon CPU by invoking dynamic scheduling when number of threads deployed are large. Minimum and maximum stack size required for different number of threads are also explored. |
