Introduction

This is an individual assignment aimed to give the student exposure to the concepts and principles underpinning Information Systems Development and their application to a realistic scenario.

Background of the assignment This individual assignment is an opportunity for student to analyze the requirements, evaluate methodologies and tools and to apply the chosen methods and tools to design a software system for a realistic scenario provided. This assignment requires the compilation and presentation of the findings/discussion in the format of a report inclusive of design diagrams well edited, attractive, and professionally laid out and academically sound.

Outcomes of the assignment

1. Discussion of various approaches/methodologies used in the development of information systems and proposing an appropriate one for realistic scenario.

2. Critical evaluation of alternative options for requirement capturing.

3. Apply an effective user/system requirement capturing technique. 4. Proposal for the tools and techniques for the design, and development of information

The System Development for Qurum Natural Park I. Background A Qurum Natural Park is going to be established. The Qurum Natural Park will consist of many

different amusement facilities located in different area zones. In order to track and monitor

the customers choices in playing facilities, each customer will be given a ticket containing a

RFID tag before entering the park. The tickets can be read by the sensors deployed at the

entrance and exits of each facility.

The manager in charge desires to set up an advanced PMS (Player Monitoring System) to

record and process the information sent from each tickets, aiming to provide better customer

service. The registration work is done by the ticket sellers at the box and the hardware

production and deployment has already been finished. So only the software-related analysis

of PMS is left to you.

II. User Requirement

The manager has given the following user requirements:

1. Before playing a facility, the players must first place the tickets on the sensors set at

the entrance of the facility. The PMS will record the entry. Then they are free to enjoy

the excitement brought by the facility. Upon leaving, the user needs to present the

ticket again on the sensors at the exit of the facility. An exit record will be saved by

PMS.

2. If the number of players in the area of a facility has exceeded the threshold number

that a facility can hold, PMS will issue a warning message on the Desktop PC screen of

the manager in charge when the customers tab their tickets.

3. At 10 P.M. of each day on the screen of the computer the manager works on, PMS will

remind the manager of generating the daily report on usage frequency of each

facility? The manager then asks PMS to sort out ten least popular facilities and show it

on the screen. After the managers confirmation, PMS will generate the report

including each total entrance number of each facility visited by the customers from 9

A.M. to 5 P.M. on that day. In the end the manager saves the report to file.

4. At 10 P.M. on every 15th of each month, PSM will automatically produce a monthly

report of customer list that includes the names and phone numbers of ten randomly

chosen customers who have paid a visit to the Qurum Natural Park in the latest

month, so that the manager could further contact them in the future. The report will

be sent to the manager by email then.

You are encouraged to refer the books in Library or use internet resource or computer magazines or any other resource but you should not cut/copy and paste from internet. The report should be in your own words.

Copy paste from the Internet is strictly not acceptable. Reference should be included in the last page as follows

Author name, Book Title, Publisher, Year in case of books In case of web site references type the full path of the web page with

referenced date In case of magazines/ periodicals type article name, magazine name,

Issue Number and date Regulations

Work submitted up to 1 week (5 working days) after the due date for submission will lose

10% of the mark (after internal moderation).

Work submitted after this, but up to 2 weeks (10 working days) late will lose 20% of the

overall mark.

Work tendered for submission more than 2 weeks (10 working days) after the due date

will not be accepted and an absence will be recorded for the assessment concerned. This

will count as a failed attempt and may result in you failing the module overall.

Plagiarism policy As per MEC policy, any form of violation of academic integrity will invite severe penalty.

Plagiarized documents, in part or in whole, submitted by the students will be subject to this

policy.

A. First offence of plagiarism

a. A student will be allowed to re-submit the assignment once, within a maximum period

of one week. However, a penalty of deduction of 25% of the marks obtained for the

resubmitted work will be imposed.

b. Mark deduction: When the work is resubmitted, the marking will be undertaken

according to the marking criteria. In compliance with this policy, the 25% deduction is

then made on the marks obtained. For example, in an assessment that carries a

maximum of 50 marks, suppose a student were to obtain 30 marks for the

resubmitted work, the final marks for that assessment will be 22.5 (after deducting

25% of the marks actually obtained for the resubmitted work).

System Development and Procurement-ECM39IS-SUMM-16-CW1 (ASSMNT)-QP

System Development and Procurement ECM39IS Page 7

c. Period of resubmission: The student will have to resubmit the work one week from

the date he or she is advised to resubmit. For example, if the formal advice to

resubmit was communicated to the student on a Sunday (latest by 5 pm), the student

will have to resubmit the work latest by next Sunday 5 pm.

d. If the re-submitted work is also detected to be plagiarized, then the work will be

awarded a zero.

e. Resubmission of the work beyond the maximum period of one week will not be

accepted and the work will be awarded a zero.

B. Any further offence of plagiarism

a. If any student is again caught in an act of plagiarism during his/her course of study

(either in the same module, same semester or in any other semester), the student will

directly be awarded zero for the work in which plagiarism is detected. In such cases,

the student will not be allowed to re-submit the work.

C. Guidelines

a. Type 1: In case plagiarism is detected in any component or part submission (submitted

at different times) of one assessment (assignment), the deduction in marks will be

applicable for the whole assessment (assignment), even if only the component or part

submission alone needs to be resubmitted.

b. Type 2: In case plagiarism is detected in a group assessment, all students of the group

will be considered as having committed an act of plagiarism irrespective of whether

plagiarism is on account of the act of all or a few or only one member. The policy will

then be applied to all students.

c. Type 3: Combination of Type 1 and Type 2: In case plagiarism is detected in any

component or part submission (submitted at different times) of a group assessment

(assignment), the deduction in marks will be applicable for the whole assessment

(assignment), even if only the component or part submission alone needs to be

resubmitted. All students of the group would be considered as having committed an

act of plagiarism irrespective of whether plagiarism is on account of the act of all or a

System Development and Procurement-ECM39IS-SUMM-16-CW1 (ASSMNT)-QP

System Development and Procurement ECM39IS Page 8

few or only one member. The policy will then be applied to all the students of the

group.

d. Type 4: Variation of Type 1 and Type 2: In cases where the assessment consists of

components or part submissions that could be a group assessment component (e.g.

group assignment) and an individual assessment component (e.g. individual

reflection), the following will be applicable:

1. If plagiarism is detected in the group assessment component, all students of the

group will be considered as having committed an act of plagiarism, irrespective of

whether plagiarism is on account of the act of all or a few or only one member.

The policy will then be applied to all students of the group. In such cases the group

assessment component will be resubmitted as per the policy.

2. If plagiarism is detected in the individual assessment component, the individual

assessment component will be resubmitted as per the policy. The policy will then

be applied to that student alone.

3. In both cases (a) and/or (b), the deduction in marks will be applicable for the

whole assessment (assignment).

D. Amount of similar material

a. The total amount of similar material in any form of student work from all sources put

together should not exceed 30% (including direct quotations).

b. The total amount of quoted material (direct quotations) in any form of student work

from all sources put together should not exceed 10%.

c. The total amount of similar material in any form of student work from a single source

should not exceed 7 percent. However, cases having a similarity of less than 7 percent

in such cases may still be investigated by the faculty depending on the seriousness of

the case.

d. If faculty member find enough merit in the case of a student work with a similarity

(with a single source) of more than 7 percent as not a case of plagiarism, the faculty

member should provide detailed comments/remarks to justify the case.
