SOFTWARE REQUIIREMENTS SPECIIFIICATIION SOFTWARE REQU REMENTS SPEC F CAT ON 1. Introduction

1.1 METHODOLOGY:
The Rational Unified Process brings together elements from all of the generic process models, supports iteration and illustrates good practice in specification and design. The RUP is normally described from three perspectives A dynamic perspective that shows the phases of the model over time. A static perspective that shows the process activities that are enacted. A practice perspective that suggests good practices to be used during the process.

Fig 1.1: Phases of RUP The different phases in RUP are INCEPTION The goal of the inception phase is to establish a business case for the system. Identifying all external entities that will interact with the system and defining these interactions. This information is used to assess the contribution of system to business.

Vivacious Winners ELABORATION The goals of the elaboration phase are to develop an understanding of the problem domain, establish an architectural framework, develop project plan and identify key project risks. CONSTRUCTION This phase is concerned with system design, programming and testing. Parts of the system are developed in parallel and integrated during this phase. TRANSITION This is the final phase of RUP and is concerned with moving the system from the development community to the user community and making it work in real environment.

1.2 Purpose:
ONLINE COLLEGE MAGAZINE is a normal kind of magazine but present online. As now a days life is so complicated that there is no time to buy a book or a magazine and to study separately. Everything is available through Internet. Creating and managing an Online College Magazine where college students and faculties can post and read various articles, thus promoting literary insight. Articles can be searched by anybody in the world. Factors behind the motivation of this system are: 1. Not all students make it to the printed magazine. 2. Creativity of students needs to be nurtured. 3. Creating a user-friendly interactive place where students/faculty can share their ideas.

1.3 Scope:
1. Posting Articles 2. Conducting Polls 3. Getting Notifications 4. Several college Advertisements 5. Getting News about College 6. Even thought for the day/Word kind of things etc.

Application architecture JAVA, J2EE JAVA Java is an object-oriented programming language developed by Sun Microsystems a company best known for its high end UNIX workstations. Java language was designed to be small, simple, and portable across platforms, operating systems, both at the source and at the binary level, which means that Java programs (applet and application) can run on any machine that has the Java virtual machine (JVM) installed. J2EE Java Platform, Enterprise Edition or Java EE is a widely used platform for server programming in the Java programming language. The Java platform (Enterprise Edition) differs from the Java Standard Edition Platform (Java SE) in that it adds libraries which provide functionality to deploy fault-tolerant, distributed, multi-tier Java software, based largely on modular components running on an application server.

2.6 SYSTEM DESIGN:

We have decided to use Client Server Architecture for developing the project. The reason is because, the whole magazine is technically a huge data base which contains all the information and its online, so it requires a server system for a proper functioning. The server gets updated quite often and clients can access the information. It is similar to an online database on a limited scale.
