Advantages of Software as a Service over ASP Hostingcorncrew1
This document provides an overview of software as a service (SaaS) and a total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis comparing SaaS to traditional on-premise software. It was produced by the SaaS Executive Council, a multi-vendor coalition within the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA).
The document defines SaaS and the traditional software model. It discusses factors that drive the acquisition of new software like end-user, business, and IT requirements. It also covers differences between single-tenant and multi-tenant architectures.
The document argues that a true TCO analysis should account for hardware, software, and personnel costs associated with traditional software, which are often underestimated.
Software as a Service (SaaS), on demand software, is a software delivery model in which software and its associated data are hosted centrally and accessed using a thin-client, usually a web browser over the internet.
Oracle's cloud computing strategy offers customers choice across private, public and hybrid clouds. It provides infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS) and software as a service (SaaS) options. Oracle aims to offer a complete choice of cloud services, including applications, platform services, and infrastructure, to enable flexible adoption across all cloud models.

How to Balance System Speed and Risk for Multi-Platform InnovationClaudia Ring
Walking the line between speed to market and stability of mission-critical systems is something many enterprise organizations deal with on a consistent basis, especially when planning a major application release. Multi-speed IT is a term that connotes the difficulty of balancing speed and risk for these enterprises, but also one that inherently defines a solution; moving at different speeds depending on system requirements. While moving at various speeds based on whether you are releasing changes for Systems of Engagement (SOE) or Systems of Record (SOR) can seem negative, it can be used as a stepping stone towards complete enterprise agility and iterative improvements in release management across both types of systems. Join Rosalind Radcliffe, IBM Distinguished Engineer and Chief Architect for DevOps, as she discusses;
How to begin incorporating continuous testing into the release cycle for both SOE's and SOR's
How deployment automation can be incorporated into multi-platform deployments
How earlier, more frequent testing and automated deployments can help stabilize risk while increasing speed
Customer success with using these testing and deployment solutions to achieve agility across both SOE's and SOR's

AI Driven Posture Analysis Fall Detection System for the Elderly.pdfPatrick Ogbuitepu
This project introduces an innovative, cost-effective solution for real-time activity monitoring of elderly individuals. By leveraging the MediaPipe pose estimation model, fuzzy logic, and finite state machines, the system can reliably track individuals, recognize static postures (standing, sitting, lying), and detect transitions, particularly focusing on falls. A key achievement is the system’s zero false alarm rate, a significant advancement in vision-based fall detection systems. While the system shows promise, it faces limitations in scenarios with severe occlusions or low lighting conditions. To address these challenges, future work
will explore the use of multi-camera setups, interactive calibration modes, and audio feedback to enhance accuracy and user experience. This prototype represents a significant step towards reliable, real-time elder care. By combining advanced AI techniques with practical considerations, this system offers a scalable and effective solution to a pressing societal need.
