1. Introduction

1.1 METHODOLOGY: The Rational Unified Process brings together elements from all of the generic process models, supports iteration and illustrates good practice in specification and design. The RUP is normally described from three perspectives A dynamic perspective that shows the phases of the model over time. A static perspective that shows the process activities that are enacted. A practice perspective that suggests good practices to be used during the process.

Fig 1.1: Phases of RUP The different phases in RUP are

INCEPTION The goal of the inception phase is to establish a business case for the system. Identifying all external entities that will interact with the system and defining these interactions. This information is used to assess the contribution of system to business.


Vivacious Winners


ELABORATION

The goals of the elaboration phase are to develop an understanding of the problem domain, establish an architectural framework, develop project plan and identify key project risks.

CONSTRUCTION This phase is concerned with system design, programming and testing. Parts of the system are developed in parallel and integrated during this phase.

TRANSITION This is the final phase of RUP and is concerned with moving the system from the development community to the user community and making it work in real environment.

1.2 Purpose:

ONLINE COLLEGE MAGAZINE is a normal kind of magazine but present online. As now a day’s life is

so complicated that there is no time to buy a book or a magazine and to study separately.

Everything is available through Internet. Creating and managing an Online College Magazine where

college students and faculties can post and read various articles, thus promoting literary insight.

Articles can be searched by anybody in the world. Factors behind the motivation of this system are:

1. Not all students make it to the printed magazine.

2. Creativity of students needs to be nurtured.

3. Creating a user-friendly interactive place where students/faculty can share their ideas.

1.3 Scope:

1. Posting Articles

2. Conducting Polls

3. Getting Notifications

4. Several college Advertisements

5. Getting News about College

6. Even thought for the day/Word kind of things etc.

platform, which is used for developing and running distributed java applications. DB2 (IBM Database 2): It is a database management system that provides a flexible

and efficient database platform to raise a strong "on demand" business applications. HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol): It is a transaction oriented client/ server protocol

between a web browser and a web server. XML (Extensible Markup Language): It is a markup language that was designed to

transport and store data. Ajax (Asynchronous Java Script and XML): It is a technique used in java script to create

dynamic web pages. Web 2.0: It is commonly associated with web applications which facilitate interactive

information sharing, interoperability, user-centered design and collaboration on the World Wide Web.

1.5 tools used:

Application architecture – JAVA, J2EE

JAVA Java is an object-oriented programming language developed by Sun Microsystems a company best known for its high end UNIX workstations. Java language was designed to be small, simple, and portable across platforms, operating systems, both at the source and at the binary level, which means that Java programs (applet and application) can run on any machine that has the Java virtual machine (JVM) installed. J2EE Java Platform, Enterprise Edition or Java EE is a widely used platform for server programming in the Java programming language. The Java platform (Enterprise Edition) differs from the Java Standard Edition Platform (Java SE) in that it adds libraries which provide functionality to deploy fault-tolerant, distributed, multi-tier Java software, based largely on modular components running on an application server.

Web server – WASCE Web Sphere Application Server Community Edition (from now on WASCE) is a free, certified Java EE 5 server for building and managing Java applications. It is IBM's supported distribution of Apache Geronimo that uses Tomcat for servlet container and Axis 2 for web services. Over 15 WASCE developers are committers in the Apache Geronimo project. Development tool –RAD IBM Rational Application Developer for Web Sphere Software (RAD) is an integrated development environment (IDE), made by IBM's Rational Software division, for visually designing, constructing, testing, and deploying Web services, portals, and Java (J2EE) applications. Database platform – DB2 DB2 Database is the database management system that delivers a flexible and cost effective database platform to build robust on demand business applications and supports the J2EE and web services standards. Design tool – Rational Software Modeler IBM Rational Software Modeler, (RSM) made by IBM's Rational Software division, is a Unified Modeling Language UML 2.0-based visual modeling and design tool. Rational Software Modeler is built on the Eclipse open-source software framework and includes capabilities focused on visual modeling and model-driven development (MDD) with the UML for creating resilient, thought-out applications and web services.

2.4 Communication Interface Client (customer) on Internet will be using HTTP/HTTPS protocol.

Client (system user) on Internet will be using HTTP/HTTPS protocol.

2.5 Constraints GUI is only in English.

Login and password is used for the identification of users.

Limited to HTTP/HTTPS.

This system is working for single server.


Vivacious Winners


2.6 SYSTEM DESIGN:

We have decided to use “Client Server Architecture” for developing the project. The reason is because, the whole

magazine is technically a huge data base which contains all the information and it’s online, so it requires a server system

for a proper functioning. The server gets updated quite often and clients can access the information. It is similar to an

online database on a limited scale.

We convey a special thanks to our department, our guide

and to our college. We also convey special thanks to all these

softwares and websites; they have been of great help in doing the

project. We owe a great deal of debt to the IBM-TGMC2011 for giving

us the opportunity to nurture our skills and present our fresh

talent in the form of this project.
