Preface
This is a proposal for a Studio Project for partial fulfillment of the requirements of the Master of Science degree in Computer Systems and Software Design at Jacksonville State University, Jacksonville, Alabama. This proposal provides the scope and context of the project to be undertaken. It details the intended user group and the value that the system will have to them. It also provides a schedule for the completion of the project, including a list of all the deliverables and presentations required. The intended audience of this document is the graduate faculty of the department so that they can determine whether the project should be approved as proposed, approved with modifications, or not approved. It is expected that this proposal will be presented to the student’s Studio Committee before the project is formally started. Michael J. Reaves ii Studio Proposal
1.0 Overview
1.1. Purpose, Scope and Objectives
Mrs. McCormick had requested that she would like to have an alumni database that would be accessible to the alumni of the Computing Information Sciences department through the Internet. After much research of other universities’ web sites, I have been able to construct what I believe would be the best workable solution. The Alum would be able to hyperlink to the Alumni Database site from the MCIS Home Page. The web pages and the actual database would reside on the MCIS Departmental Server. The web pages would be coded in html with JSP and JDBC used to transfer the data in and out of an Access 97 database. The Alum would have the option of entering a new entry into the database or updating information entered from the past. A password would be required to update any Alum’s information. This is to be the main focus of the project. The second part of the project, time permitting, would be a survey section. The department would determine the questions used in this survey. The questions would be created in the Alumni database to make adding or removing questions easier. The responses of the Alum would be kept in the Alumni database also. The third part would give the Alum the ability to search the Alumni database for another Alum and to e-mail them if they wish. If time does not permit the second and third part of this project could be used as future studio projects.
I worked on a team on a project similar to this in the CS 501 class. I have a good working knowledge of html and Access. I have done some work in JSP.
1.2. Literature Search Results
While I searched the Web sites of many schools, there were few examples of department based web sites that could be emulated. The JSU Alumni Society Web site is included under references.
1.3. Assumptions and Constraints
This project will be constrained by the policies in place for the Jacksonville State University’s Web Site. It will depend on Jacksonville State University’s Web Site for connection.
1.4. Project Deliverables
The following items will be delivered as part of the project. See next section for tentative delivery dates. Software Project Management Plan Software Requirements Specifications Software Design Document Software Quality Assurance Plan including a Software Verification and Validation Plan and the Test Design Document Final Studio Document Html and JSP code Access database
