Document Management System for UCSC

Abstract

The objective of this project is to develop a graphical user interface for CVS (Open Source) a concurrent version control system according to the requirements of the UCSC. This system will ensure proper document management among the UCSC members, such as lecturers, Admin staff and students who will be the users of this system. They will be able to access the system remotely through the Internet, and perform the required function (Create Directory, Check in, Check out…etc).

Only the Administrator will be given authority to access the User Maintenance functions, which will be presented in the Admin module. Further an additional effort will be put in to ensure that this system will be highly user-friendly and could be effortlessly used by the users.

This system is designed using the object-oriented analysis and design methodology (OOAD). The key development language used in this system is Java. The open source LAMP (Linux, Appache, My SQL and PHP) technology has been used in implementing this system. Even though the LAMP technology has been used in implementing this system Java server pages (JSP) are used instead of PHP.
