UML project

For this coursework assignment, you are requiredto choose a real-life information system. This information system can be either manual or computer-based, but it **must** be a real system,**not** an imaginary one. Therefore, you **must** cite and reference **all** your sources of information in the appropriate manner. The real system may be one with which you have experience, or one that you have read about in newspapers, magazines, You are required to investigate and analyse the information system you have chosen. Based on your findings, you must then propose a design that offers improvements in efficiency and effectiveness over the current system. You are required to use appropriate UML tools and techniques to conduct and present your design, using the AllFusion Component Modeler CASE tool from Computer Associates where appropriate. You must undertake and document all stages of design from initial use cases through to final implementable UML-based design models. You should be careful to justify and explain all design You are required to document the above in a report. Your report should not exceed **6,500** **words**. This excludes the cover page, table of contents, and references but includes any appendices. Text in tables is considered ‘as is’ (that is, it counts the same as regular text) and each diagram is considered equivalent to 400 words. In addition, your report must not exceed **18 pages** in total, which is inclusive of everything, i.e. inclusive of all text, diagrams and tables, as well as the cover page, table of contents, references, and any appendices. ## Deliverables The content of your report should cover the • Overview of the current information • A problem statement. • A list of requirements. • Proposed design that includes all appropriate UML-based models through the various stages, from use cases through to an implementable model of the new system. All models should be developed with AllFusion Component Modeler and be displayed in the report and fully explained. All design decisions should be fully justified. • Final evaluation of your design against the expressed requirements. Generally speaking, the better your analysis, design and documentation of the new system, the higher your final mark is likely to be. With this in mind, you should consult the attached marking scheme and make sure you understand it. **Deliverable** There is one deliverable to be submitted, which is the report. The report should be stapled **not** bound (you do not get any extra marks for binding!). Please ensure that you state your full name clearly on the front of the report, together with your registration number, the course code (CS2077A) and the academic year (2003/04). This is in addition to the coursework submission form. **Important dates** The submission deadline is **Monday 19th** **January 2004**. **Plagiarism and joint work** This is an **individual** assignment. Be sure to read the student handbook regarding plagiarism and joint work, and be clear on what is and isn’t acceptable. **Managing your time** You are strongly advised to begin this coursework assignment as soon as possible, not only to ensure that you meet the above deadline, but also so that you complete it to the best of your abilities. Furthermore, it will take time for you to find a real-life information system on which you are happy to focus your coursework. Note that it will be impossible to complete the coursework adequately by the deadline if you leave it all until the last minute. The sooner you start, the more manageable and the less of a burden the coursework will be. ## Platform shoud be micrisofrt word document and should work on All fussion
