‘New Fire’ system - The student assignment submission system for Computer Science Department of Chalmers

Abstract

Nowadays ‘Fire’ system is used to manage the assignments of courses in the department of Computer Science. Though ‘Fire’ system is quite good and satisfies the needs of requirements, it still has a few drawbacks. In the thesis, ‘New Fire’ system is implemented to modify these drawbacks by using JSF framework. ‘New Fire’ system will be used for students from Chalmers University and Gothenburg University due to the students from both universities can choose the same course. When students register in the ‘New Fire’ system, they choose the corresponding given course code based on the university then they can form the group and submit the assignment. The report describes the processes of developing ‘New Fire’ system. First step is to analyze the system requirement and get the domain model. Then ‘New Fire’ takes use of Oracle as the database and uses Hibernate to get the entity classes. In the front-end of the system, JSF(Java Server Faces) framework is utilized to deal with the business logic and view pages. At the end of the report, the security issues and future works will be discussed.
