What are the advantages of computer assisted career guidance systems?

The first computer-assisted career planning systems were developed in the late 1960s and were based soundly on the best of career development and decision-making theory. Over the years, this tradition has continued as the technology that delivers these systems’ content has improved dramatically and as they have been universally accepted as effective tools for career guidance practice. Although their widespread use in the United States is currently affected by financial conditions, the potential for using these systems in developing countries as a part of their implementation of career guidance services is promising.

Redundant Arrays of Independent Components (RAIC) is a technology that uses groups of similar or identical distributed components to provide dependable services. RAIC allows components in a redundant array to be added or removed dynamically during run-time, effectively making software components "hot-swappable" and thus achieves greater overall dependability. RAIC controllers use the just-in-time ... [Show full abstract] component testing technique to detect component failures and the component state recovery technique to bring replacement components up-to-date. This position paper gives a brief overview of RAIC and a proof-of-concept example to illustrate how problems occur during run-time can be masked by RAIC and would not affect smooth operations of the application.
