Remote User Tracking Life Cycle Objectives By Nathan Ratliff and Adrienne Noble
Operational Concepts • Allows people use their cell phones to find out where their friends are using UNIX computers • Implements personalized lists of friends and groups • Aimed at UW Computer Science and Engineering community
System Requirements • Sign up on secure web page • Step through flow of pages to get information on where friends are logged into computers.
System and Software Architecture • Midlet Side Architecture • Requests specific information from servlet using J2ME • Servlet Side Architecture • Executes the “finger” command at midlet’s request • Sends parsed data to midlet • Uses Java servlet technology
Lifecycle Plan • Designed for UW CSE students and faculty • Currently use finger command frequently • Accessibility through cell phone will be welcome development • Very little support needed • Administrator with access to CSE computers needs to start process
Feasibility Rationale • Able to produce a servlet that obtains “finger” information • Implemented secure CSE authentication for a web page • Prototypes showed that this project is very feasible
