Project Background -- 1 NAS Has 2 divisions:
Natural Sciences Computing and Mathematics (We are here)
8 Programs in Division of Computing and Mathematics: Software Engineering Computer Information System Computer Science Computer Engineering Systems Engineering Mathematical Sciences Statistics
Project Background -- 2 We have four types of users:
Faculty members Division Chairs/ Program Chairs Associate Dean Administrators (super user)
3 levels of Report merging :
program --> division --> school
Project Background -- 3
Hard copy submitted by the Faculty Faculty follows guidelines in the faculty
handbook No standard format Process is tedious, un-controlled Not easy for division chair to monitor who is
late, who didn’t submit his/her report Faculty members need to get in touch with
division chair to know the status of the report.
Project Definitions
Faculty Annual Report
Generate and browse report online Replace hard copies submitted by the Faculty:
link Merge reports at different levels Flexible administrative capabilities.
Goals Remove some of the manual work Speed up process. Keep DB updated Integrate the Process Avoid Incorrect data Make the life of the Division chair easier
Project Features -- 1Project Features -- 1 “Save to work later" feature Update, Add and Delete Capabilities Authentication done on username & password View an already submitted report from a
previous year Flag a user from the system if he left
Project Features -- 2Project Features -- 2 Division Chair can add comment on reports Submit and email acknowledgement Generate statistical data System generate e-mail to remind the faculty
of submitting their report Two types of comments: personal/feedback Check status of the annual report A user may play multiple roles Merge reports on several levels
Project’s Special Features Header template for all pages, example: User id and info displayed on the top of the
header: example Navigation is done through the main menu Use of a CSS style sheet: unified design Nice Graphic background/design, example Status line underneath header shows user
where he is.
Requirements & Use Case
Requirements of FAR
Use Case Level 1
Use Case Level 2
Design and Modeling
UML Class Diagram
Database Design
Database Schema
SQL Server 2000 Advantages Instead of Triggers
Validate data while inserting Indexed Enhancements:
On computed columns Ascending / Descending
SQL Profiler Enhancement XML Support
Take XML as input / Output
Technical Decisions -- 1
SQL Server 2000 Advantages Stored Procedure
Better Performance: Precompiled, ready for use. Reduced network traffic: Resides on the Server. Only name
sent. Object Security: Prevent direct access.
User-Defined Function Code reuse.
So far, we have 36 stored procedures and 3 functions.
Technical Decisions -- 2
Technical Decisions -- 3 ASP Advantages
Currently more stable than ASP.NET Faster development time than ASP.NET Rich literature resources
Jscript Microsoft’s implementation of JavaScript ASP.NET will not support VBScript
Problems Faced -- 1 One item may appear in multiple reports. Multiple authors Non Faculty CoAuthor One faculty has multiple role in multiple
academic unit Comments can be made at report level or at
item (entry) level Comments may for private use or for feedback
Problems Faced -- 2 Faculty can be deactivated from the system Tree structure of academic units Little experience with Jscript on server side Most ASP literatures were written primary in
VBScript Limited communication during development
due to physical distance
Programming Standards
Hungarian Notations
ASP Standards
Language: Jscript ADO (Active-X Data Object)
Connection Recordset Command
Stored Procedures Usp_GetAllEntriesByUserAndType
Implementation (ASP) -- 1
Implementation (ASP) -- 2
Include Files <!-- #INCLUDE FILE=“File name” --> Adojavas.asp ConString.asp Anchor.asp
Cascading style sheet FARproject.css
Presentation.asp <% @Language=“Jscript” %> <!-- #INCLUDE FILE=“adojavas.inc” --> <!-- #INCLUDE FILE=“ConString.inc” --> <html> <head> <title>Presentation Entries</title> <LINK rel=“stylesheet” type=“text/css” href=“style.css”
title=“h1”> </head>
Implementation (ASP) -- 3
<body>
<!-- #INCLUDE FILE="anchor.asp" -->
<h5>Report Entry > Presentation</h5>

var Userid = Session(“logineid”);
var Entrytype = Request.form(“Type”);
var Con = new ActiveXObject("ADODB.Connection");
Con.Open(ConnString);
var Rs = new ActiveXObject("ADODB.Recordset");
Implementation (ASP) -- 4
Executing Stored Procedure var Cmd = new ActiveXObject("ADODB.Command");
Cmd.ActiveConnection = Con;
Cmd.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc;
Cmd.CommandText =“Usp_GetAllEntriesByUserAndType”;
Cmd.Parameters.Append(Cmd.CreateParameter
("@vchrUser", adVarChar, adParamInput, 20, "Userid"));
Cmd.Parameters.Append(Cmd.CreateParameter("@vchrEntryType", adVarChar, adParamInput, 20, “Entrytype"));
Set Rs = Cmd.Execute();
if (Rs.EOF) {
Response.Write (“No entry found!<br>”) }
else {
while ( ! Rs.EOF ) { %>
<%=Rs.fields(“Name”) ;%>
<%=Rs.fields(“Authors”) ;%>
<% Rs.movenext; }
Rs.close; }
Con.close; %>

Conclusion/Comments
Enriching experience with new technologies: UML, ASP, Jscript, SQL server
Good team dynamics among members
Challenges in dealing with time constraints
Spent time on Course Inventory Preliminary Design
Reduce one presentation (3rd) to give more time for implementation
Future Enhancements
Implementation of current menu functions and advanced features
Improve user friendliness
Project will have to continue after the semester to be rolled out by January
