1. Abstract: The goal of the projects is to develop a web
application in the form of online shopping system which
can be accessed via internet. The web application will
provide an easy product search facility, cataloguing,
watching list, alerts of new products, despatch invoice,
discounts alerts, currency option and so on. The application
will also provide feature such as delivering and expected
arrival time and date can also be tracked via internet. The
proposed outcome of the project is to provide an enjoyable
and everlasting experience to provide interactive features
such chat room and Instant messaging service, dashboard,
email support, feedback and so on.
2. Motivation: The reason behind our motivation is the
current trends of web application integration and interactive
features. The trends of online shopping came into existence
in the early 90’s. Today, there are many online shopping
systems in place but there are many problems such as hand-
on inseption, fraud and security concern, privacy, lack of
full cost disclosure, product reviews and so on. Our project
Project Proposal Abid Afsar Date: 17 Dec 2011
concern is to look to the current problems, and to present a
one-stop-shop solution to the aforesaid problem in online
shopping arena.
3. Objective: The objective of our project is to develop a web
based system which provides a unique virtual shopping
experience to consumer in terms of reliability, usage and
functionality and so on. Our project will be divided in two
core modules which are front end design in java, back end
design in MySQL, hardware platform.
4. Literature Review: E-commerce is the latest development
of human history. It opens new doors for the problems
which were considered hard to solve. The idea of integrated
market and services solved many problems and today it is
not a barrier to shop at a specific location, but we can shop
wherever we want. E-commerce provides multiple
Project Proposal Abid Afsar Date: 17 Dec 2011
opportunities involving many challenges as well. In the past
two decades internet made significant improvement and is
expanding at a high rate. In the early 90’s eBay and
Amazon were founded, and today these are the major
players in online shopping sphere. Online shopping is
expanding at high speed and have a demand from 2008 to
2009 the annual increasing rate of online shopping was
13%. Today, it can be predicted that ecommerce industry
worth multi-billion pounds of assets and market share. The
rapid growth of cheap broadband connection is the fuelling
source to surges online shopping trends. The online
business trends will explode further in the forthcoming
future because of the following services, such as in store-
pickups, pickups depots, mobile apps, less flash more
function, videos streaming, social networking, daily deals
and flash sales, retail based social networking, cross border
e-commerce, and deal aggregators.
The current research shows that system architecture, and
website design and structure play an important role on
ecommerce business and it will always be on top priority in
the system strategy. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a
Project Proposal Abid Afsar Date: 17 Dec 2011
methodology used to optimise search results it is also called
search engine promotion, web optimization and web ranking.
The SEO can be managed by changing the source page code
on daily basis with known keyword related to that product or
item. It is also crucial that the technology use for development
of online shopping system is reusable and compatible with
new technologies. Graphical user interface (GUI) also is in
important factor of online business it determined to attract the
customer or to lose the customer because it depends on the
presence, and use of interface friendly features.
5. Technology:
i. Programming Language
The programming language java will be used for
developing from end of the system and it will work
with latest version Java SE 7, and onward edition.
ii. Back-End Programming
We will use MySQL() version 5.5.19 for database
programming. MySQL was developed by MySQL AB, and
it is open source software. MySQL is relational database
management system (RDBMS) and it mange multi user
Project Proposal Abid Afsar Date: 17 Dec 2011
access to database. It is compatible with wide range of
operating system platform such as window vista, linux,
Novel, OpenBSD and so on.
iii. Tomcat Web Server: Tomcat is a web server and it
was developed by apache software foundation, and
luckily it is open source. It uses Java Sever Pages
(JSP) and Java Servlet in regards to implementation.
Tomcat server currently consist on the following
components catalina (Servlet Container), Coyote (an
HTTP connector), and Jasper(a JSP engin). Tomcat is
compatible with Microsoft product and can be use
with support of tomcat Native wrapper application.
iv. JSP: Java server pages (JSP) is most widely use for
dynamic web pages creation based on XML, HTML
and other document types. JSP is a java technology
and it is specifically developed to support dynamic
web pages in comparison to other competitors such as
ASP and PHP. JSP can be also called high level
abstraction of servlet

6. Project Schedule:
The proposed project is to develop an online shopping store
for a multi branch store. The goal of our project is to develop
a system which is accessible through internet and provide a
virtual shopping environment to a customer. The application
is prepared for a store which consist con different departments
and branches. On completion of the product it will be host on
the web and the store administration will maintain database
and day to day updates. The customer details will
automatically stored in the database on each transaction and
the product database is also updated. The application will
consists on multiple data screen according to the level of the
user. When an entry made into the database automatically
multiple reports will be generated for security reasons and
auditing.
The customer can choose a single or multiple products and
can add it into shopping chart. In the next step customer will
Project Proposal Abid Afsar Date: 17 Dec 2011
provide their postal and financial details in order form and a
product will be shifted in the mention delivery time.
The merchant have full access to the system and can mange
product listing, prices and so on.
The system will be developed in to two modules,
Module One:
In this module we focus on customer entity, and the related
attributes. A comprehensive system analysis will be
completed from the customer point of view, and a
comprehensive prototype needs to be developed.
Module Two:
In second module we will study storekeepers and products
detail analysis, and their concerned attributes modelling

8. Conclusion:
We conclude that a web application will be developed which
provide a virtual shopping environment to a customer and
they can what they buy, whatever they want. The products Project Proposal Abid Afsar Date: 17 Dec 2011
information is stored at RDBMS on server side. The customer
information is processed by the server, and product they
interested in is send to them. The application is developed into
two modules one covers the customer and their related
attributes and the second module focus on merchant and
products. The application provides easy access to user and
maintained security and privacy.
