Requirements and Models for Disaster Relief Coordination System (DRCS) on Lazarus Island

Tasks

These all relate to the description of Disaster Relief Co-ordination (DRCS) system given below. This description should not be regarded as complete but can be regarded as accurate (in other words you can expand upon it but your answer should not contradict it). You may want to investigate similar dating agency websites for ideas! Please note that there are no absolutely definitive (or correct) answers to these. You will be assessed on your ability to present the requirements in a clear and logical manner, the way you have addressed the description of the system provided, and the quality of your discussion of the issues arising.

Note that you are required to present requirements and models for the new system at DRCS – much of the discussion below relates to the current system. It is important to draw the diagrams using a UML case tool. For each section some marks will be given for some explanation and design choices.

1. Draw a use case diagrams and produce 2 overall Activity Diagrams including swim-lanes and the transitions of use cases. [12]

2. Produce 4 Prototypes presented as a storyboard [12]

3. Using the MVC pattern, produce 4 Sequence Diagrams corresponding to the 4 Prototypes [16]

4. Draw a class diagram and consider 1 class and from that draw a state-chart diagram [12]

5. Consider the class diagram in point 4 above and via object relational mapping develop an entity relationship diagram ERD. [16]

6. Consider 1 sequence diagram from 3 above and your class diagram write the basic Java code including the name of the class, attributes (including the relationships with other classes). Also include the method name but not the method details. [16]

7. Redraw the Zachman Framework and complete it further considering where all the diagrams drawn in this coursework would be presented and show where the component and deployment diagrams would be presented as well. (Please note: you don’t need to actually draw a component or deployment diagram for this coursework).

Case Study Title: Disaster Relief Coordination System (DRCS) for a Small Island

Who you are:

You are part of a team of systems analysts working for an IT consulting firm that have been hired to develop a specialised system for the government of Lazarus Island. The IT consulting firm has its own staff with skills of Agile Project Management, business analysis, system development, programming and testing.

The island is located in the South Pacific, about 350 miles from Ecuador and has a population of 80,000. Your team have been developing systems using an Agile Methodology for the last 10 years and they are very competent in using the DSDM Agile Project Management Framework and the SCRUM methodology. The team have decided that this particular project will adopt the DSDM Agile Project Management framework to develop the system. What you are getting yourself into:

As mentioned earlier, your firm has been commissioned by the government of Lazarus Island to design and build a specialised system for them. The island has been subjected to a number of natural disasters such as cyclones, hurricanes and recently an earthquake. The government receives a lot of offers of assistance, donations and actual resources such as food, clean water, medical supplies, temporary shelters etc. whenever disaster struck but their approach to handling relief (and the disasters in general) has been poorly coordinated.
