Question 1: (20 marks)

Develop SRS for Assignment Marks Recording System. When a student submits assignment at Study

Center, it is evaluated and Marks are sent to RC. RC will check the validity of the Marks as well as

other details such as validity of Registration, Fee Payment, etc. and then will forward to IGNOU HQs

for recording them in the Grade Card of the student. Use IEEE format. Make necessary assumptions.

Ans :‐ The Srs has been developed using any object oriented software as the front end

and MySQL Sever as the backend. Front end stands for Graphical User Interface of the

whole application, which has been provided using J2EE technology. Back end means

which is the database and how it is stored. Here it is stored using MySQL Server one of

the easily available open source Database.

A database lies at the core of many business software application.. We have used

MySQL Server as a backend. Databases are prevalent in the world of business because

they permit centralized access to information in a way that’s consistent, efficient, and

relatively easy to set up and maintain.

A database is a repository of information. Although there are several different types of

databases, but we are primarily concerned with the relational databases i.e. MySQL

Server, Currently the most commonly used type of database.

1 LANGUAGE : - Java. 2 TECHNOLOGY: - J2EE. 3 FRAME WORK: - Struts. 4 DATABASE :- MySQL Server 5 PLATFORM USED : - Windows XP / Linux / Open Solaris 6 SERVER:- Glassfish V3 7 SCRIPTING LANGUAGE:- Ajax/JavaScript 8 IDE:- Net Beans 6.8 9 OTHERS: - DHTML, CSS, etc.

User Interfaces

Steps for entering data for the given SRS 1. Assignment allotment will be done on the basis of courses in a particular semester/year and

grouping the students in a lot wise manner and assigning the lot to the evaluator by selecting the

evaluator name. 2. Click next to view the next record of the students and after ticking/checking the

corresponding check box of the students and selecting the evaluator’s name click allot button

to assign. 3. Click close to exit the current running session.

4. Validations:

a. As per the program and the course code only those students enrollment number will be listed who have submitted the assignment earlier.

b. Evaluators name as per the study centre code will be displayed.

Step 3:‐

1. The SC Coordinator will select the respective Program from drop down list and

corresponding semester/year will be active depending upon the program selected by the

user and the desired semester/year, Lot No. will then be selected from drop down list. 2. As per the programme and the semester selected details of the first student (sorted as per the

enrollment no.) will be displayed. 3. Only those courses will be listed whose assignment has been received earlier during the

assignment submission process (Assignment Submission Form). 4. After entering the marks of the corresponding courses of the first student the user will click

next button to submit the previous record and the record of next student in the list will be

displayed automatically. 5. Click finish button to quit and save the last record. 6. Validations :‐

a. As per the Programme and the semester selected the corresponding list of the

student will be displayed.

As per the enrollment number and details of the assignment submitted at the study center respective

course code will be

To view the status of the Assignment submitted by the student the SC/RC will enter the

respective Enrollment No. or Token Number auto generated at the time of submission of

assignment.

After entering the Token No/E No, details like program, semester/year, enrolment no,

assignment submission date, evaluator name will be displayed and the list of assignment

submitted by the student.

Validations:‐ a. Only those assignment code will be displayed which has been submitted by the

students. b. Token no basically reflects an unique number generated at the time of submission of

assignment.

Answer 4 : ANS :‐ A management information system gives the business managers the information that they need

to make decisions. Early business computers were used for simple operations such as tracking inventory,

billing, sales, or payroll data, with little detail or structure[3] (see EDP). Over time, these computer

applications became more complex, hardware storage capacities grew, and technologies improved for

connecting previously isolated applications. As more data was stored and linked, managers sought

greater abstraction as well as greater detail with the aim of creating significant management reports

from the raw, stored data. Originally, the term "MIS" described applications providing managers with

information about sales, inventories, and other data that would help in managing the enterprise. Over

time, the term broadened to include: decision support systems, resource management and human

resource management, enterprise resource planning (ERP), enterprise performance management (EPM),

supply chain management (SCM), customer relationship management (CRM), project management and

database retrieval applications.

Management information systems provide a variety of information products to managers. Periodic

Scheduled Reports are a traditional form of providing information to managers via a specified format

designed to provide managers with information on a regular basis. Exception Reports are produced only

when exceptional conditions occur. Exception reporting reduces information overload instead of

overwhelming decision makers with periodic detailed reports of business activity. Demand Reports and

Responses are available when the managers require immediate access to vital information. Web

browsers, DBMS query languages, and report generators enable managers to get this information and

not force them to wait for periodic detailed reports of business activity. Push Reporting is information

that is pushed directly to the manager’s respective networked workstation. Webcasting software is

being more frequently utilized to broadcast selective reports and other vital information.

Accouding to the above condition we have to decide first which unit needed to implement and how

what kind of resources we have and what we need to implement and then decide the management

structure and requirement of the stystem.
