  1. Design Exploration of an Electronic Honor System Irma Rachmawati Ann Sakata Young-Mi Shin

  2. Overview • Operational Concepts • System and Software Architecture • System Requirements • Lifecycle Plan and Feasibility

  3. Elevator Pitch • Old-You is a CS undergrad. She was working late into the night in the labs. Her desire for a Diet Dr. Pepper lures her to the lounge. She finds to her dismay that she is lacking correct change. Being an honest student, she digs out 45 pennies and nickel from her pocket and guiltily puts the coins in the Visual Studio box. Now, had little Old-You had the option of using an electronic system, she could have saved both herself and the ACM treasurers much grief by tracking her expenditures with her husky card and placing bills into the box at her convenience.

  4. Operational Concepts: Objectives • Reduce cash handling • No need for exact change • Desirable for ACM treasurers • Easier than paper system to use/maintain • Convenient for users to track expenditures

  5. What Will Work? • Card readers? • No • HFS regulations • Web interface? • No • Slow and cumbersome • Cue Cats! • Yes! • Fast & Easy to use • Anonymous

  6. System and Software Architecture • Cue Cats • Client interfaces to database • Barcode interpreter software • Database tracking • Anonymous user accounts • Current user balances

  7. System and Software Architecture (cont’) ACM Officers Consumer Web Interface Consumer Cue Cat interface

  8. Consumer Web Interface • Anonymous (only barcode numbers!) • Users able to check account balance • Feedback/Food Request form • Option to request withdraw from system

  9. ACM Officers • Password protected access • Withdraw users from system • Track/update inventory

  10. Consumer Cue Cat Interface • Station in Lounge equipped with Cue Cat • Users scan card, product • User session ends when scanning card or session times out • Barcodes available to add funds to account

  11. CCC Interface (…continued)

  12. Who would use it? • Students • The ACM Coke Closet -wouldn’t be replacing old method, just existing in parallel

  13. Summary • Electronic system more efficient/convenient • Complete implementation reasonable within ~6 weeks
