System Definition
1.1Problem Definition(Top)
Client Dr. Timoth Lederman desires an improved implementation of his social mapping webpage. In the current form, the mashup is a product of the website, “Map Builder.” Although the current form yields a result, the time required of client Dr. Timoth Lederman to enter member information from the OldGmTrucks.com website is burdensome. Members of the OldGMTrucks.com website have no ability to add, edit, or delete their information in the mashup. In addition, there is no way of generating user information in report form. The resulting mashup must be user generated and driven.
1.2System Justification(Top)
Networking for Antique Truck Owners, N.A.T.O., which shall be the new mashup, will act as a resource for the members of the OldGMTrucks.com website. Upon registration for the OldGMTrucks.com website, members will be prompted by a currently undecided method to submit information to N.A.T.O. The dynamic nature of N.A.T.O. will allow information to be added, edited, or deleted by the user quickly. Improved mapping and information storage abilities will allow members to browse other members and develop a more valuable online social network.
1.3Goals for the System(Top)
The overall goal of N.A.T.O. is twofold; to provide members of the OldGMTrucks.com website the ability to connect with other members when traveling. Knowing which members are local to a travel route allows for opportunities to replace parts, perform repairs, and display the trucks. Second, to give user’s more control in editing their personal information. Users will have the ability to update, edit, or delete their own information.
1.4 System Constraints(Top)
The main constraint on the development of N.A.T.O. is that it must be web based. It is essential that N.A.T.O. can be accessed in any web browser. A provided database will utilize MySQL. Additional constraints may be discovered through future client meetings.
1.5 Functions to be provided(Top)
The functions of N.A.T.O. include but are not limited to:
- Members will be able to add, edit, and delete their own personal information.
- Member’s geographical location will be available.
- Members can generate report by browsing other members through varying criteria.
- Members will be able to find locations of those on their travel route.
1.6 User Characteristics (Top)
The primary users of this software will be the members of the OldGMTrucks.com website. Users will want the system to be user friendly so they can use the maps and tools of the software to find locations of the other members easily. There will be a user or users with administrative powers with the ability to check and remove user information.
1.7 Development/Operating/Maintenance Environments(Top)
N.A.T.O.’s design will be implemented in the Software Engineering Lab located in Roger Bacon room 348 and on an Oracle web server. There are two computers available, the first being a Dell Optiplex 760 equipped with an Intel Core Duo 2.93 GHz processor and 4 GB of ram. Second, an Apple I-Mac built with an Intel Core Duo 2 GHz processor and 1 GB of ram. The Dell is running Windows Vista Service Pack 2.The I-Mac is running OS X version 10.4.11. The product we will be creating will be tested on Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Apple Safari.
1.8 Solution Strategy(Top)
In order to most effectively meet the needs of Dr. Lederman, the solution that N.A.T.O. is structured around is the Classic Waterfall Model, which is a Linear Sequential Model. The solution is composed of the following steps:
Software Plan:
In the initial phase, a formal problem definition and solution to solving the problem will be the direct result of initial meetings with the client.
Analysis of Requirements:
In phase two, meetings are held with the client to understand and recognize all essential components of the project.
Preliminary Design:
In phase three, information gathered in the previous phase, Analysis of Requirements, is changed into a programming design outline.
Detailed Design:
In the next sequential phase, the previously generated outline is used as the guide for implementation and is verified by requirement checks.
Acceptance Test:
At the final phase, the project is delivered to the client.
1.9 Priorities of System Feature(Top)
The main priority of N.A.T.O is the ability for users to add, edit, and delete their personal information. This is the core of the project. The next function of N.A.T.O. is the ability to view other users along a specified travel route. The ability for users to browse or search on specific criteria is the next prioritized function. Finally, as of now, the last function is for the ability to generate the geographical location.
1.10 System Acceptance Criteria (Top)
N.A.T.O. can be considered complete when the following, but not limited to the following, have been achieved:
1)Users can add, edit, or delete their personal information
2)Users can design travel routes and learn of other users’ proximities
3)Users can browse or search other members based on varying criteria, and print the resulting report
4)Users geographical position is generated and added to their personal information
5)Users will be able to access N.A.T.O from any web browser
1.11 Sources of Information(Top)

Requirements Specification:
Development of a more detailed problem understanding, and address specific client needs and constraints for both hardware and software toact as guidelines for the final product.
Preliminary Design:
Creation of an abstract project architecture, choosing the specific hardware and software for incorporation, as well as the necessary algorithms and data to meet client requirements.
Detailed Design:
Implementation of the preliminary design with verification testing and necessary refinement at every step for the purpose of creating a near-finished product that can be completely tested.
Acceptance Test:
Software presentation to the client for formal testing and analysis to confirm that the project meets all acceptance criteria (see section 1.10). The finished product will be displayed and demonstrated to show that it meets all of the clients specified needs and constraints.
