Lambeth Business Intelligence
Lambeth Business Intelligence An Interactive Qualifying Project Submitted to the Faculty of Worcester Polytechnic Institute In Partial Fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science. Prepared by: James Chen Ben Sarkis ________________________ ________________________ Chris Fernández Rachel Whalen ________________________ ________________________ Submitted to: Vincent J. Manzo, WPI Humanities and Arts Department Jianyu Liang, WPI Mechanical Engineering Department Noel Hatch, London Borough of Lambeth Business Intelligence Abstract Lambeth, a central borough of London, is undergoing large population growth and a shrinking budget. This strains the Lambeth Council’s services, so they have chosen to integrate a Business Intelligence [BI] system to improve efficiency. Our project encouraged the staff who gather and use data to incorporate this BI system. After gathering information through interviews and surveys, we developed an integration plan through workshops and a poster. However, many staff members do not use the BI system due to lack of knowledge or perceived uselessness. More workshops, surveys, and interviews will aid the use of this system amongst the council. Executive Summary Business Intelligence BI is a technology-driven process for analyzing data and converting it into useful information. It has helped businesses, corporate executives, governments, councils, and the health industry among other organizations make informed decisions. Several case studies further demonstrated the usefulness of BI. A suburb in Sweden, called Jä rfä lla Kommun, implemented BI in the contact center of the municipality that improved decision making and the quality of life of its citizens. In addition, a hospital in Southern Taiwan incorporated a BI-based SQL system to streamline information and meet quality standards. -

CPR for the Arcade Culture a Case History on the Development of the Dance Dance Revolution Community
CPR for the Arcade Culture A Case History on the Development of the Dance Dance Revolution Community Alexander Chan SUID 5075504 STS 145: History of Computer Game Design Stanford University March 16, 2004 Introduction Upon entering an arcade, you come across an unusual spectacle. Loud Japanese techno and a flashing neon glow pour out of the giant speakers and multicolored lights of an arcade console at the center of the room. Stranger than the flashy arcade cabinet is the sweaty teenager stomping on a metal platform in front of this machine, using his feet to vigorously press oversized arrows as the screen in front of him displays arrows scrolling upward. A growing group of people crowd around to watch this unusual game-play, cheering the player on. In large letters, the words “Dance Dance Revolution 3rd Mix” glow above the arcade machine. Most people who stumble upon a scene similar to this one would rarely believe that such a conceptually simple arcade game could foster an enormous nation-wide game community, both online and offline. Yet the rules of the game are deceptively simple. The players (one or two) must press the arrows on the platform (either up, down, left, or right) when the corresponding arrows on the screen reach the top, usually on beat with the techno/pop song being played. If the player doesn’t press the arrows on time, the song will quickly come to an end, and the machine will Arrows scrolling up a DDR screen ask for more quarters to continue play. Yet despite its simplicity, Dance Dance Revolution, or DDR for short, has helped create a giant player community in the United States, manifesting itself though various forms. -

Program Updates from the VP and Program Director Doron Weber
June 2017 Program Updates from the VP and Program Director Doron Weber FILM Sloan Presents World Premiere of Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story at Tribeca Film Festival Sloan and Tribeca Film Institute co-hosted the world premiere screening of Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story as part of the Foundation’s signature 14-year film partnership with Tribeca. The sold-out screening was followed by an all-female panel of scientists and filmmakers, including Oscar-winning actress and executive producer Susan Sarandon, award- winning actress and producer Diane Kruger, director Alex Dean, patent attorney Patricia Rogowski, and UCLA Associate Professor and electrical engineer Danijela Cabric. (The panel is pictured at left with Sloan Vice President, Programs and Program Director Doron Weber.) Sloan funded the film with a major production grant in 2015 for an American Masters documentary on the remarkable life and scientific achievements of Hedy Lamarr. Based on the Sloan-supported book Hedy’s Folly by Richard Rhodes and produced by Susan Sarandon and her company Reframed Pictures, Bombshell tells the little-known story of Lamarr, a major Hollywood star from the 1930s through the 1950s, who was also a pioneering inventor. Together with composer George Antheil, she developed a key “frequency-hopping” innovation that led to future advances like Wi-Fi and cell phones. The film features original material, including a newly discovered audio interview with Lamarr that serves as a voiceover. Sloan has long supported books, films, and plays about Lamarr, beginning with an Ensemble Studio Theatre/Sloan commission in 2000 of the play Frequency Hopping by Elyse Singer, produced in New York in 2008. -

DDR started in the late 1990s and unlike most other games found in a typical Japanese arcade, it requires a more physical method of input.
