Team Chart

Based on the given descriptions on the project outline and some interactions with Mr. Ee,we break our researches into three main area,1. Network packet analyzer2. Network management system3. Network virtualization

Market Researches

1. Network packet analyzerWire Shark is an open source product that offer network packet analyzing

2. Network management systemNmap is an open source product that offer network exploration

3. Network management systemManageEngine OPManager is a proprietary product that managed owned networked IT devices on monitor, configuration and fault reporting. It provide basic GUI network virtualization.

Market Researches

4. Network management systemHuawei iManager U2000 is a proprietary product that managed owned networked IT devices on monitor, configuration and fault reporting. It provide basic GUI network virtualization.

5. Network management systemStableNet is a proprietary product that managed owned networked IT devices on monitor, configuration and fault reporting. It provide basic GUI network virtualization.

6. Network management systemHitachi IT operation analyzer is GUI network virtualization. It also provide monitoring and fault reporting on owned network IT devices.

Market Researches

Common features available,1. Physical hardware information2. Software information3. Network information4. Storage for the information5. Warn/Alert feature

Weak or missing feature,1. GUI presentation2. Profile management for specific environment.

Conclusion from the researches

Features1. Intelligent Network Discovery2. Automated Network Visualization Mapping3. Network Visualization Mapping Manipulation4. Device Information Extraction5. Smart Network Monitoring6. Network Profile Management7. Network Information Management

Optional feature1. Fault Reporting or Alerting

Project Scope

Targeted Users1. Wide range from home user to organization IT system administrator

General Purpose1. Network audit, checking for anonymous users.

Specific Purpose1. Network monitoring of networked device availability 2. Network alert of networked device failure3. General reporting of the device monitored

Advantage1. Profile customization for specific environment.

Project Value

Waterfall model

Advantages1. Waterfall is selected, due to clear and well defined scopes approved by end user. 2. Less complicated model, due to it single point of entry and exit on each phases.

Disadvantages1. Very hard to handle changes.

Project Methodology

Programming LanguageJava and CC is used mainly for the information extraction.Java is used mainly for the GUI presentation.

Both are multi-platform, open source and have a rich system library to utilities

Java is selected due to CSCI213, Java Programming and Object Oriented Design.

C is selected due to CSCI114, CSCI124, CSCI204. There is some exposure on similar languages.

Project Development and Deployment Platform

Operating SystemMicrosoft

It is selected due to the huge market potential on the OS user research.

Relational Database Management SystemMySQL

It is selected due to its multi-platform and open source product.

Project Development and Deployment Platform

ArchitectureStandalone

It is selected for the product wishing penetrate into a wide range of target user. This will allow more flexibility on the product marketing.

Project Deployment Architecture and Environment

The following risks are identified and possible solutions are brainstormed and finalized.Risks1. Topic understanding2. Design of the product3. Development of the product4. Report preparation5. Poor communication6. Poor tasks delivery

Project Risks

Solutions1. Regular meeting with the team members for efficient communication and progress update. Targeted meeting is once a week.2. Regular meeting with supervisor for increment mile stone progress. Targeted meeting is once a fortnight.3. Clear task and role delegation out front before the project.4. Intense researches conducted to minimum risk exposure.
