Abstract
This paper examines how evaluation of a project or program plays an important role in future funding or accreditation of the program and also lends credibility to the service provided. It illustrates this through the evaluation process of a crime prevention initiative undertaken in the state of Maryland, Hotspot Communities Initiative, which was launched in 1997 to keep a check on criminal activities in certain dangerous communities in Maryland.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The core objectives included reduction of crime, more recreational activities for youth, more awareness regarding drug problem in the area, familiarity with various options available to street youth, and eradication of gangs from the neighborhood. It was found that with community involvement, agencies were able to collect authentic information about target localities and goals were developed with specific needs of the communities in mind. Research conducted by Peterson et al (2000) indicates that crime rate can be brought down in trouble-areas when alternative activities are available to the youth. For this reason, HCI focused on developed of recreational programs while providing extra police security in the area."

Abstract
This paper examines the issue of biodiversity through a review of an article, "Hotspots and the Conservation of Evolutionary History" written by Wes Sechrest and Thomas M. Brooks and published in "The National Academy of Sciences". The paper contends that the article stops short of attempting to identify any possible solutions to this impending problem. The paper claims the it does help to illuminate some of the shortcomings of current conservation strategies; namely, a conservation strategy focused upon preservation of single species ignores much larger trends of extinction that mankind imposes upon the natural world. The paper explains that the ideologies that the study relies upon are implicit and the article itself merely warns that the consequences of ruining seemingly insignificant expanses of land possess the potential to be quite severe.
From the Paper
"An article written by Wes Sechrest and Thomas M. Brooks and published in The National Academy of Sciences reveals the results of a study they conducted investigating the varying levels of biodiversity distributed throughout the world. The authors employ a fairly novel approach in their measurements of biodiversity, specifically, relying upon two methods approximating the levels of evolutionary history endemic to twenty-five terrestrial "hotspots." The significance of evolutionary history as a measuring stick is that it is associated with the past importance of particular geographic locations, and implies that future evolution is threatened if these locations are threatened."

Abstract
This paper explains that the information technology today is a highly dynamic field, which is characterized by a wide range of increasingly mobile and wireless devices that are Internet based rather than operating system based. The author points out that, given the enormous amount of change witnessed in recent years, managers are increasingly confronted with a confusing array of choices concerning what blend of IT software and peripherals will satisfy their communications needs. The paper cautions that, before businesses begin jumping on any of the wireless wagons, which are described in this paper, and making substantive investments in a given IT technology, a number of low-cost alternatives are available that might be preferable, given the dynamic nature of the marketplace today. The paper includes several charts and illustrations.

Summary and Conclusions
From the Paper
"There must be some compelling reasons behind so many leading companies making the decision to invest so heavily in technologies that did not even exist just a few years ago, particularly in view of the rapidly changing nature of the IT environment. Nevertheless, most companies have been able to reap some substantive benefits from various IT applications by following the business models provided by successful players who have learned their IT lessons the hard way. According to Diwan and his colleagues (2002), the Fortune 500 companies recognized early on that investments in IT would be required in order to remain competitive."

Abstract
This paper discusses that the introduction of the Interactive Electronic Technical Manual (IETM) has greatly enhanced the phases involved in repair, diagnosis and maintenance of complex machinery; but there are still problems with the interface. The author feels that issues on the capability of human skills involved in the process of IETM are big factors that serve as barriers in the true purpose of IETM. This proposal contains information on the insufficiencies of IETM and presents ideas for enhancement of display-interface features. Graphs and illustrations.

From the Paper
"Technical manuals are one of aircraft mechanics? vital tools. An aircraft is a composition of thousands of assembly parts. Its maintenance depends on referencing to thousands of technical manuals that are critically kept for future checks and consultations in cases of aircraft repair or diagnosis. One study indicates that an F-18 Fighter, for instance, consists of 30,000 pages of documentations whose printed documents consume a storage space of 68 cubic feet. With the advent of IETM, such pages of documentation could only take a CD-ROM to store exactly all the information and a few seconds of time to retrieve them. Today, IETM has been the preferred scheme in technical assessment and repair of complex machineries. This is due to the fact that IETM offers more advantages than the traditional scheme of paper-based technical manuals."
