AcTime
Community telecenters sell computer and Internet access time. It is thus necessary to account for the time spent by each user in each computer in order to provide a bill to the user.
We propose the creation of ACTIME, a distributed software application to control individual computers by a manager node, allowing the manager to provide password protected access to users, account for the time used in the computer and provide a final bill.
