  • URA Pilots Innovative E-Filing System That Mimics Human Be
    Computerworld Singapore - URA pilots innovative e-filing system that mimics human be... Page 1 of 1 30 May 2006 URA pilots innovative e-filing system that mimics human behaviour Connie Chng Updated: 30 May 2006 Software company, SQL View, today received $260,717 from The Enterprise Challenge, an initiative of the Prime Minister‘s Office, to pilot an automatic electronic filing system at the Urban Redevelopment Authority. The KRIS Intelligent Filer (KIF), an innovative system that can mimic human decision-making and behaviour, uses artificial intelligence (AI) to manage electronic documents. As the system makes use of a behaviour-based AI engine, it has the capability to learn and become more accurate over time. Using the AI engine, the system is able to ”read‘ the documents to determine their content and context, and automatically classify and store the documents for convenient searches and retrieval. Said Tan Siong Leng, URA‘s deputy chief executive officer, —The KRIS Intelligent Filer will form an important part of URA‘s Enterprise Document Management System to capture and manage all its electronic records in an organised way. It will address our concerns about the integrity and authenticity of documents and at the same time, minimise our effort in classifying documents, which is a common challenge in implementing electronic document management system.“ Through pattern recognition, the KRIS Intelligent Filer learns, remembers new filing information as well as reconciles conflicting instructions each time it files new documents. The system is also able to classify information according to the roles and the security access levels of the users.

Today's Head Find out what wi -thing-in-the-mor OCTOBER 14, 2009 Datacenter cooling makeovers can deliver quick, refreshing savings Thermal mapping and real-time sensors can swiftly pinpoint opportunities for real energy savings By Ted Samson | InfoWorld Follow @tsamson_IW Print | Add a comment Like 1 Data-processing and storage demands have soared over the years as organizations and customers have demanded quicker access to a larger array of information and resources, from accessing sales reports from past fiscal years to conducting real-time teleconferences to viewing and sharing high- def videos of Aunt Linda's new baby hiccupping for three minutes straight. Plenty of datacenter operators have embraced perhaps the simplest solution possible: throwing hardware at the problem. Only later do problems with this approach begin to surface. For example, datacenter operators have failed to accommodate for the effect that, say, doubling the IT load will have on cooling and airflow. In a vain effort to keep all the machines operating at a safe temperature, datacenter operators have turned to cranking up CRAC units to the max -- or to put it another way, blowing cold air at the problem. This has proven costly as many datacenters operator find themselves paying as much to cool IT hardware as they pay to power it.
