INCEPTION
Key System Elements:

  • mobile tracking device: RFID Tracker
  • software that picks up RFID Tags
  • multiple RFID Tags
  • server that contains the database with all the information of the tagged items
  • separate off-site server that is a backup for the central database
  • wireless network


Key Stakeholders:

  • Costs:
  • Clients:
    • Supermarkets, eg: Woolworths, Coles, Aldi
    • Department stores, eg: Target, Myers, David Jones
    • Warehouses
    • Mainly anybody who needs to keep a track of a large amount of items
  • Users:
    • Technicians who update/maintain the central and backup database
    • Staff who use the RFID Tracker to identify/locate tagged items
    • Customers who may have access to a public RFID Tracker Terminal that helps them locate/purchase items


Key Risks:

  • system must have very low downtime
  • if the central database is down, the backup database must be ready to take over at all times
  • if the central database is ever down, people could steal tagged items without staff knowing
  • global database can be accessed by all users (customers, staff, technicians), edited by high level staff and technicians
  • backup database can only be accessed and edited by technicians
  • access by unauthorized personnel could lead to theft, loss of stock/inventory, loss of money


Comments
Ok, this is all i could think of so far, i've drawn up a kinda users chart for the access to the database/backup databases but i don't know if it covers Elaboration Point 2 (Use Case Diagrams), if you have any comments, just follow on and add your name + date + time at the end :D

Okay, XML Parsing stuff is proving beyond my java skills =( so i've resorted to Wiki Editing to take my mind of things ahhahaha...

Jimmy 30/10/07 1:57PM


ALRIGHT A BREAKTHROUGH! Finally got the XML stuff working...it copies the tags in XML and put them into an array/vector. Now to link everything together....

Wow the whole linking thing is actually taking quite a bit of time to do... Do-able but tedious...
