This paper reports the on-going development process for assessing learning outcomes in a Master of Business Administration program at Nova Southeastern University, School of Business and Entrepreneurship. The rationale for assessing learning outcomes is presented along with the steps involved in the assessment process to this point in time. Post/Then self-report evaluations were used for assessment, and data analysis is included for the first year of data gathered in the process. A discussion of the lessons learned in the development process is presented along with some suggestions for future efforts and research.

In order to handle spatial data efficiently, as required in computer aided design and geo-data applications, a database system needs an index mechanism that will help it retrieve data items quickly according to their spatial locations However, traditional indexing methods are not well suited

In this overview paper we motivate the need for and research issues arising from a new model of data processing. In this model, data does not take the form of persistent relations, but rather arrives in multiple, continuous, rapid, time-varying data streams. In addition to reviewing past work

substantial improvements over the currently best performing methods and they behave robustly over a variety of different learning tasks. Furthermore, they are fully automatic, eliminating the need for manual parameter tuning.

Abstract Two kinds of contemporary developments in cryp-communications over an insecure channel order to use cryptogtography are examined. Widening applications of teleprocess-raphy to insure privacy, however, it currently necessary for the ing have given rise to a need for new types

-time as well as the current non-real-time service of IP. This extension is necessary to meet the growing need for real-time service for a variety of new applications, including teleconferencing, remote seminars, telescience, and distributed simulation. This memo represents the direct product of recent work

-demand, allowing the routing packet overhead of DSR to scale automatically to only that needed to react to changes in the routes currently in use. We have evaluated the operation of DSR through detailed simulation on a variety of movement and communication patterns, and through implementation and significant

The World Wide Web has succeeded in large part because its software architecture has been designed to meet the needs of an Internet-scale distributed hypermedia system. The modern Web architecture emphasizes scalability of component interactions, generality of interfaces, independent deployment

techniques focus on different aspects and would make good complements. Insofar as the examples we used are representative, current VPLs are successful in achieving a good `closeness of match', but designers need to consider the `viscosity' (resistance to local change) and the `secondary notation

sharing many of the same goals as previous distributed file systems, our design has been driven by observations of our application workloads and technological environment, both current and anticipated, that reflect a marked departure from some earlier file system assumptions. This has led us to reexamine
