Bullying, skipping classes and missing child case are still very prevalent in Malaysia even the police have involved and took some action. For those children who go to school or playground without parent accompany, there is a risk for them went missing, being bullied and molested outdoor either intentionally or unintentionally. There is a need for the parent to monitor their child and even know their child's location when they are outdoor. Thus, the ideas of the proposed system are to help the parent to monitor and keep track of their child's location when the child is prone to danger. This paper discussed about development of android-based application named Parent's-Closed-Circuit Mobile TV (CCMTV). This application was developed with the intention to help the parent to monitor their children since many of today's parent was busy and have little supervision on their children. The android parental spying app is a monitoring app that can view and listens to children's surrounding and tracks their GPS location. This system requires both (child and parent) applications to be operated under a stable internet connection. It is an Android development project that use the access permission of the android devices to work as a spying app which are dependent on the Google API and at the same time does not require device rooting. A study on the similar monitoring apps based on the top five parental control apps in 2019 has been made to find limitations to be enhanced. The development of the app is using the client-server architecture model where the client is both the parent and the child while the server is using the Firebase server. This system also uses the media server for its live streaming capabilities. The system development methodology chosen for this system is structured evolutionary prototyping with increment method and the only hardware needed for this project is the android smartphones and a laptop for development. The development of this application was done with Android Studio platform. This system only limits parent on a passive and stealth monitoring but not to apply restrictive control on their kid's smartphone usages. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

One of the greatest issues in the past which is the lack of available information and difficulty in finding information has ironically taken a different turn in today's context of ever increasingly available information. Within the current day and age, information has become much easier to find and acquire. However, due to the availability and access of information, a new problem arises in the form of information overload. Information overload occurs when there is too much information available, which causes a difficulty in understanding a certain topic or issue. This results in difficulty when making decisions, confusion, frustration or overall lack of motivation to further pursuing the topic or issue. This can prove to be an issue for someone who is new to a certain field or someone who lacks a clear perspective on how to continue from where they are at currently. This research aims to develop a mobile application in order to reduce information overload and tackle the issues of facing a stagnating hobby, to make it more interesting by connecting users with each other to allow for discussion and socializing. Information overload will be dealt with using machine learning algorithms in order to understand the users' grasp on their hobbies while making sure that they are able to keep up and stay interested in the hobbies [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
