Determine the architecture of the system as Web-based interface, client/server architecture,
Internet/Intranet interface, network configuration, etc.
ITEC 630Information Systems Analysis, Modeling, and DesignIndividual Project AssignmentPurposeThe purpose of the individual system analysis and design project is to demonstrate students ability toapply the knowledge learned in this course to a real-world project.Topics Suggestions1. The system analysis and design project must be realistic and it will be done using techniques coveredin this course. The list of topics suggested for this project is as follows:a) Ticket purchase system (airline, train, cruise, concert, or others)b) Internet shopping sites (clothing, shoes, books, music, or others)c) Local real estate agency systemd) Rental system (car, video, or others)e) Warehouse management systemf) Student record systemg) Banking systemh) Insurance purchase system (life, medical, homeowner, or others)i) Credit card management systemj) Library circulation system2. The above list is meant to be suggestive and if you have an idea about a specific topic, please consultwith your instructor early to determine if it is suitable for the course.3. You have to select and submit the project topic for instructors approval by the end of Week 2.Project DeliverablesThe project requires students to perform three phases: (a) requirements analysis, (b) system and databasedesign, and (c) a project plan. Note that in the phase 3, students are required to use the MS Projectsoftware for their project schedule.The deadline for the Individual Project can be found in the schedule section of the class syllabus.The following layout format covering a title page and all three phases is recommended for the project.Title page (project name, author, and date)Phase 1: Requirement analysisA. Problem definitionB. IssuesC. ObjectivesD. RequirementsE. ConstraintsF. Description of the proposed systemG. Logical model design1. Data flow diagrams? Context diagram? Diagram 0o Diagram 1 (Diagram 1 is optional)? Descriptions of processes in each diagram2. Descriptions of outputs/inputs/performance/security or controlsH. Specific requirements, if any (interface, operational, resource, performance, etc.)Phase 2: System and database designA. User interfaceDesign an overall user interface consisting of screens, commands, controls, and features toenable users to use the system.1. How data will be input to the system?? The physical layout for each input? The input design and procedures2. How data will be output from the system?? The physical layout for each output? The output design and proceduresB. Data designDevelop a plan for data organization, storage, updating, and retrieval.1. Database design? Database tables with their attributes should be presented? Primary key(s) should be identified in each table, if any? Three steps of normalization should be included.2. Entity-relationship diagrams3. Data file storage and accessC. System architectureDetermine the architecture of the system as Web-based interface, client/server architecture,Internet/Intranet interface, network configuration, etc.Phase 3: Project planA list of tasks or activities needed for implementing the proposed systemEstimating completion time and costsA project schedule for performing those activities (Gantt charts or PERT charts)Note that there is no other required software package except the MS Project software in this ITEC-630course. As a result, you are only required to use the MS Project software to handle the scheduling part ofthe project and for other parts, you can use any word editing software or any drawing tools software.
