  19. TPCP System Design Design Goals Subsystem Decomposition Hardware Mapping

  20. TPCP TPCP Design Goal Descriptions • Usability:In order to be user friendly, navigation must be intuitive so that there is no steep learning curve. • Maintenance:System Maintenance will be restricted to web host and database services. Host maintenance should be minimal. Once system has been deployed, changes should not be necessary unless unforeseen bugs arise. • Performance:TPCP system should not be graphic intensive. This will allow users without broadband connections to access the application in a timely manner. • Cross Browser Functionality: The system should run and have all functionality available on all popular Internet browsers.

  21. TPCP Proposed Subsystem Decomposition • Layering Overview: • Interface Layer • Application Logic Layer • Persistent Object Storage Layer

  22. TPCP TPCP Subsystems • The following 8 Subsystems have been Identified: • TPCP Site • Authentication • Communications • Class Management • Tasks • Group Files • Meeting Scheduler • TPCP Data Storage

  23. TPCP Proposed Subsystem Decomposition • Layering Details: • Interface Layer • Application Logic Layer • Persistent Object Storage Layer

  24. TPCP TPCP Site Subsystem TPCP Site – This subsystem makes up the interface layer of the TPCP system’s architecture. It houses all of the HTML pages that the user will interact with. This subsystem is responsible for displaying the interface in a clean and intuitive manner to the TPCP user.

  25. TPCP TPCP Communications Subsystem • Communications – The communications subsystem falls into the logic layer. It will contain 3 subsystems responsible for handling requests from the interface layer that deal with a communication functions • Communications Subsystems: • Messaging – Controls the internal user messaging system.   • Forum – Controls the internal forum system.  • Chat – Controls real time chat between the system’s users.

  26. TPCP TPCP Class Management Subsystem Class Management – The class management subsystem will be available only to the professor and is also found in the logic layer. It will contain all the functionality to support the adding/deleting of classes, groups, and students as specified in the Class Management Use Cases.

  27. TPCP TPCP Tasks Subsystem Tasks – The tasks subsystem will contain the functions that facilitate the task management of individual groups. Users use this subsystem to keep all members of the group up-to-date on what they need to be working on. It is also found in the logic layer.

  28. TPCP TPCP Data Storage Subsystem TPCP Data Storage – This subsystem falls into the persistent data storage layer of the TPCP system architecture. It is responsible for handling all connections to the database and housing the object-oriented representations of the data it stores.

  29. TPCP TPCP Hardware/Software Mapping • TPCP subsystems mapped to a web server. • TPCP server-side system will be able to run on any device capable of supporting the .Net framework. • Windows NT/XP based systems running IIS with the ASP.net runtime libraries installed. • Windows 9x or Unix-based system with the Apache web server and Mono libraries installed. • Microsoft Access Database to be installed on the web server.

  31. TPCP Object Design Design Tradeoffs Package Details DB Model Interfaces

  32. TPCP TPCP Design Tradeoffs • Performance • Redundancy/Fault Tolerance • Functionality • Robustness

  33. TPCP TPCP Design Tradeoff Descriptions • Performance:The TPCP will be a web based application to allow ease of accessibility, high performance will not be a priority in implementation. • Redundancy/Fault Tolerance:In order to maintain reliability and ease of maintenance, system implementation will be limited to 1 node. Redundancy and fault tolerance will be sacrificed. • Functionality:In order to maintain end user functionality by being cross browser compatible, graphical functionality exclusive to Internet Explorer will be limited. • Robustness: Due to development time constraints, a less robust Database (MS Access) has been selected versus a full featured DBMS such as SQL Server.
