Tre e mezzo [JJRumi’s blog]

I haven’t found a way to make UML diagrams with Eclipse yet. Anyway, this is what I’ve made this afternoon.

The System Use Case:


· SMS Message Control System is the panel where workers will make their job. It will allow: see current messages, write messages, accept & decline incoming messages, etc.
· SMS Bridge will control all System’s SMS input & output. Here we will deal with TSPs protocols.
· TV Screen Administrator will allow the administrator change the style of the TV output. Those settings will be readed from our Flash application.
· System Administrator will allow the administrator control the users, a black list and the text responses customers will receive after send a SMS.
· Statistics will use nice graphs to show all kind of statistics. Received SMS, sent SMS, hours of maximum afluence, which TSP is being more profitable, etc.

Well, I’m about to start my technical degree project.

We’re gonna be two people. We both have basic level in the technologies we’re gonna use (this is a main reason why we wanna do this).
The objective of the project is develop an application to manage the short message (SMS) traffic in a Company, specifically in a TV environment. That means we’re gonna need to:

· show messages in a TV Screen ‘nicely’.
· store it in a DB (a well planned DB).
· provide an interface for the administrators to manage the application, view the state of the traffic, etc.
· control the incoming traffic from the TSPs (Telephony Service Providers… in Spain, those are mainly MoviStar, Vodafone and Amena).
· and the outgoing traffic (answer the SMSs. This is also called premium messages (don’t ask why :S)).
· provide statistics of the SMS’s traffic.
· be able to adapt easily to any TSP’s protocols (every TSP has its protocol, we need to separate clearly the different layers of the application and never compromise our architecture).
· etc….

First step will be the the design phase. I wanna find some plugin for Eclipse where I can add UML’s diagrams.
Technologies We’re gonna use:

· Java

· Servlets: The Model and Controller side.

· JSP: The View side (for the admin interfaces).

· AJAX???

· Flash: output on the TV Screen
· MySQL: DataBase

That’s all for today.

Hi there, my name is JuanLu.
It has been a long time since I wanted to create my own blog.
Lack of free time, not knowing what exactly I could write… but now I have a perfect excuse. My degree project, I want to practice my English and well… I have a day of leisure and I build a blog, .

I hope it’s gonna last.

Show time.

Post Scriptum: By the way, ‘Tre e mezzo’ means ‘Three and (a) half’. It’s Italian. I like to look at the world from a half way. Neither black nor white.
