The location-intelligence is significant in maintaining public safety and peace and order during disaster and post-disaster phases. Locating trained personnel during emergency response stage is critical in DRRM given that responders can also be exposed to disaster risks together with the evacuees during crisis. Method – The researchers tried to put into the picture how spatial integration could enhance existing Local Government Unit (LGU) information systems. Enhancing existing information systems with human resource or household locations (x, y) is critical in analyzing and validating incoming real-time data or emergency incident reports. Reliable reports and location can be quickly collected, processed and manipulated to produce crisis maps from the DRRM databases stored at the cloud GIS at real-time. Crisis maps should be produced timely for complex emergencies and response operations.The sampling covered geographic locations intersecting the outer boundary of the Mayon 6kilometer danger zone stretched up to the 10-kilometer buffering at least 2,898 families","PeriodicalId":33870,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Computing Sciences Research","volume":"68 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89085471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The developed system was implemented in a web-based environment using a third party cloud infrastructure. After the development, the study gathered feedback from both end-users and technical experts to evaluate the proposed system in terms of content, functionality, reliability, maintainability, and features. Their comments and suggestions on the proposed system were also gathered. Method – Interviews with the head of Consumer Area Department (CAD) head, IT personnel and Area Manager who fully understand the transactions and processes in electric billing of the company revealed that there was a need for an electric billing and monitoring system. After the software was developed, a questionnaire was utilized to necessary information on developing a system, and surveys to gather comments and suggestions from the respondents. The developed software was evaluated by the endusers; while the administrator page was assessed by the technical experts. Results – All items of software criteria had at least acceptable ratings (Content: End-users, M = 4.42, Technical Expert, M = 4.42 = 4.32; Functionality: End-users, M = 4.42 = 4.47, Technical Expert, M = 4.42 = 4.49; Reliability: End-users, M = 4.42 = 4.40, Technical Expert, M = 4.42 = 4.42; Maintainability: End-users, M = 4.42 = 4.46, Technical Expert, M = 4.42 = 4.47; Features: End-users, M = 4.42 = 4.57, Technical Expert, M = 4.42 = 4.58). Test of difference between means revealed that there are no significant differences on the ratings of end-users and technical experts.","PeriodicalId":33870,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Computing Sciences Research","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80895108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Grouping members together to participate in a group discussion does not guarantee their participation in the online discussion. However, the use of intelligent agents to facilitate group participation can motivate group members to participate in the online group discussions leading to improved levels of group knowledge construction. This paper discusses an experimental design for evaluating facilitated learner participation in online group discussions using intelligent agents. Method – In our experimental design we use two treatment groups (turn taking and informative feedback group facilitations) and one control group. We compared the levels of group knowledge construction amongst the three groups.","PeriodicalId":33870,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Computing Sciences Research","volume":"59 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85761671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Different illnesses came about as its consequence. To mitigate air pollution particularly in Valenzuela, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources with the help of Valenzuela City Government’s City Environment and Natural Resources Office installed an air monitoring system. Inspired by such technological innovation, the researchers aimed to design and develop “Project Amihan: Online Air Monitoring System for Selected Areas along McArthur Highway, Valenzuela City.” The study is significant to Valenzuela residents along McArthur Highway, to the community, educational institutions, the government, and future researchers. Method – For data gathering, survey and interview was used. The researchers’ method was Agile Prototyping Model and they used Arduino Uno microcontroller, wi fi module, gas sensors, and jumper wires for the hardware; HTML, PHP, JavaScript, jQuery, Ajax to develop the website and embed the system, as well as a webhost to disseminate information. The system was tested in four (4) selected areas along McArthur Highway of Valenzuela namely: Balintawak Beer Brewery (BBB), Fatima, Karuhatan, and Malinta. Twenty (20) Valenzuela residents and five (5) IT Experts served as respondents who evaluated the system. Five-point Likert Scale using the ISO 9126 as the standard reference was used to evaluate it. Results – The system was evaluated 4.17 or Very Acceptable by the end-users, 4.49 or Very Acceptable by the IT Experts and garnered an overall mean of 4.33 which is equivalent to Very Acceptable. The information derived from the air monitoring system was disseminated through a website and email notification to raise awareness by providing insights of what bad air may cause the residents. Conclusion – In conclusion, the system most notably detected Carbon Dioxide (CO2) gas in the air. It can monitor the Carbon Dioxide gas in the air as its innovation. Pollutants in the four selected locations varied at different time schedules. Such areas are not always polluted, but it happens mostly during rush hours. Recommendations Users must sign up in the system to receive a notification if ever the air quality reaches the dangerous level; the city government – as the beneficiary of the","PeriodicalId":33870,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Computing Sciences Research","volume":"65 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82668517","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
