Question 3 20 Marks This question analyses the students’ knowledge and understanding in analyzing given scenario to build use case diagrams studied in Unit-3 of the module
AOU would like to build a conference management system. The following scenario demonstrates the process of AOU’s proposed conference management system with regards to the submitting, reviewing and accepting papers by the authors.
The proposed system will allows any guest user of public, registered users and the AOU staff members to view the activities online. Any member of public can only view the activities online. Registered conference participants and AOU staff have to login in order to submit papers for conference. The author completes an online form that requests the user to input author name, correspondence address, email and, title of paper. The system validates this data and, if correct, asks the author to submit the paper. The author then browses to find the correct paper on their system and submits it. Once received and stored, the system returns to the author a reference number for the paper. Authors may submit as many papers as they like to be considered for acceptance to the conference up until the deadline date for submissions. Papers are allocated to subject expert reviewers for assessment by the conference committee. They review each paper and submit to the system their decision. Once Conference Committee has agreed the decisions authors are informed by email. Accepted papers are then schedule to be delivered at conference. This involves allocating a date, time and AOU’s branch name for the presentation of the paper.
1. Identify any two business processes
2. Identify any two business rules
3. Identify any four functional requirements of the system?
4. Identify any four non-functional requirements and their types of the system?
5. How many actors is part of this system?
6. List any four use cases in this system
7. Draw a use case diagram for the given scenario
