Background


Currently, CIS Department provide
curriculum flowchart file online for reference.
No automation application for student
curriculum planning from the department.


College of Engineering flowchart system
The communication between advisor and
student are still paper base.
CIS Flowchart Example
Motivation and Goals


Main motivation is to provide automation
application for CIS student curriculum
planning for students and advisor .
Also, to provide an new communication
medium between students and their faculty
advisor.
System Overview

System front-end and logic will be developed
under ASP.NET with C#.


which can will able to embedded various other
languages such as XML, JavaScript, Jscript, ..etc.
System back-end will be support by Internet
Information Services (IIS) Server with the
SQL Server for Database Support

Testing will be using the MSDE server

Requirements

Login Requirement




User will provide login name and password through login web form.
Web server will verify and validate the user identity which will be either the
student, academic advisor, and database administrator
If login successful, web server will log the user in the user log
And, the web server will generate user interface according to user identity
Requirements -- Users

Add/Drop Course Requirement





User can add the course to the curriculum plan.
User Inputs will be generated and validated by the system
with the mean of checking the course prerequisites and
other constraints prior accepting user input.
User can drop course from the curriculum plan.
System will assess the related changes need to be made
and process them accordingly
Generate Report Requirement

A option of generate a savable and/or a printable format of
the plan should be provided
Requirements -- Administrator Users

Add/Drop Course Requirement



Administrator can add new course to the course database.
Administrator can drop (delete) a course record form the database.
Add/Drop User Requirement



Administrator can add new user to database.
Administrator can drop a user from the database.
Administrator can change user information in the database

Cost Estimation

COCOMO I model


Effort = 3.2*EAF*(Size) ^1.05
Time = 2.5*(Effort) ^0.38
Where:

Effort = number of staff-months (PM)

EAF = Effort Adjustment Factor

Size = number of lines of code for completed product. It is measured in
KLOC (thousands of lines of code)

Time = total number of months

The Effort Adjustment Factor is the product of the 15
adjustment parameters. Each adjustment parameter is
categorized as very low, low, nominal, high, or very high.
Cost Estimation (cont.)

My adjustment factors as follow:


Required reliability as nominal and a value of 1.00.
Database size as high and a value of 1.08.
Product complexity as low and a value of 0.85
Execution time constraint as nominal and a value of 1.00
Main storage constraint as nominal and a value of 1.00.
Virtual machine volatility as nominal and a value of 1.15.
Computer turnaround time as low and a value of 0.87.
Analyst capability as high and a value of 0.8.
Applications experience as nominal and a value of 1.00.
Programmer capability as nominal and a value of 1.00.
Virtual machine experience as nominal and a value of 1.00.
Language experience as nominal and a value of 1.00.
Use of modern practices as high and a value of 0.91.
Use of software tools as high and a value of 0.91
Required development schedule as nominal and a value of 1.00.
Cost Estimation (cont.)

The EAF value is calculated to 0.61. I estimated the
size to be 3000 LOC.



Effort = 3.2*0.61*(3) ^1.05 = 6.18 staff months
Time = 2.5*(6.18) ^0.38 = 4.99 months (the development
time)
Since the project only involved with the one staff
member and the project is relatively small scale. I
have project the time of completion will be a lot
shorter to about 3 months.
