1. Introduction

In recent years, the Internet and especially the Web has enabled a communication

revolution: the ability to send and retrieve information everywhere has changed the way we

work and live. Internet based access to information and internet Communication means

have become ubiquitous.

Social networking is the grouping of individuals into specific groups, like small rural

communities or a neighborhood subdivision, if you will. Although social networking is

possible in person, especially in the workplace, universities, and high schools, it is most

popular online. The term SOCIAL NETWORKING (SN) was first coined by Professor J. A.

Barnes in the 1950s, who defined the size of a social network as a group of about 100 to

150people.When it comes to online social networking, websites are commonly used. These

websites are known as social sites. Social networking websites function like an online

community of internet users. Depending on the website in question, many of these online

community members share common interests in hobbies, religion, or politics. As mentioned,

social networking often involves grouping specific individuals or organizations together.

While there are a number of social networking websites that focus on particular interests,

there are others that do not. The websites without a main focus are often referred to as

"traditional" social networking websites and usually have open memberships. This means

that anyone can become a member, no matter what their hobbies, beliefs, or views are.

According to a report on Nielsen Wire, about two thirds of the world's population

participates in some sort of social network. This accounts for close to 10 percent of all time

spent on the Internet. The article also states that social networking has become more

popular than email as a means of communicating.

1.1 Purpose

Social networking is a strategy to connect and discuss all sorts of ideas through individuals

and communities that may express a primary interest or the comparable pursuits

throughout the planet .A large amount of these sites offer features that will permit anyone

to discover individuals or topics by members, which means that everyone are able to peruse

and come in contact with new individuals or maybe be a part of new groups by sending a

request message. By using this valuable feature anyone should certainly be in a position to

connect with other people within their networks that are like-minded. Every time you add

anew individual or group, you will be able to have access to the latest people in their circle

as well. Social networking can easily go as far as making your page on different social

networking websites; at the same time, this may turned out to be a challenging as well as

somewhat cumbersome undertaking as you attempt to keep every individual web site up-to-

date with content and articles as well as engaging across quite a lot of different tools.

Social networking portals are a recent trend. A social networking site (SNS) connects and

presents people based on information gathered about them, as stored in their user profiles.

These user profiles determine the way in which users are able to present themselves to

others. The most important distinguishing factor between the various sites is the range of

profile information that they store and can perform operations on. The increasing popularity

of online Social Networks (OSNs) is witnessed by the huge number of users acquired in a

short amount of time: some social networking services now have gathered hundred of

millions of users, e.g. Face book, My Space, Twitter, etc. The growing accessibility of the

Internet, through several media, gives to most of the users a 24/7 online presence and


VERSION 1.0

encourages them to build a solid online interconnection of relationships. As OSNs become

the tools of choice for connecting people, sociologists expect that their structure will

increasingly mirror real-life society and relationships.

1.2 Scope

Social Networking is forever.

Social networking has tremendous prospects in future.

The bright future prospect of social networking is also proven with the fact that the

technology is integrated in the mobile phones as well. The concept is one, wherever

on the earth; reach the common platform of the people for everybody’s benefit.

The tremendous popularity of using the social networking could never have been

realized before. In fact, social networking has become an important tool of marketing

in true sense of customer orientation.

The scope of social networking is widening, and today it offers a strong support to

the companies in providing the much desired touch of concern. Future of social

networking brings exciting promises as expected from the experience of limited users

from a few companies in the top bracket.

1.3 Definitions, Acronyms and Abbreviation

Social networking is a phenomena defined by linking people to

each other in some way.

Social networking is the practice of expanding the number of

one's business and/or social contacts by making connections

through individuals.

Social networking is defined as the bringing individuals together

into to specific groups, often like a small community or a

neighborhood.

According to Danah Boyd, leading authority on social

networking at U.C.Berkeley, the true definition of a "social

network site" is that it contains profiles, semi-persistent public

commentary on the profile, and a traversable publicly

articulated social network displayed in relation to the profile

Admin– Administrator is the controller of all the users, manager and maintaining all

profiles in this site.

User– registered person in this site and posts their views.

User ID:A user identification number to enter the system.

The user must have a valid User ID and password to login to the system. Users, who don’t

have their account in this site, can create a new account for signup. Definitely one should

not be allowed to have more than one profile. After the valid user logs in his/her account,

the user can edit his/her profile and can post his/her views basing on the activities he/she

desires. The site is having the features like auto analyze topics, group discussions, auto

recommend threads based on searches etc. Ratings should be given according to their

posts.

THE USERS OF THIS WEBSITE INCLUDES:

A. Citizen of India.

B. Bearcats of India, Employees of Govt. bodies

C. Volunteers from NGOs.

If anyone violates the social disciplines, we will tag his/her user ID in our website. For

example if a police cop demanded for bribe, he may not be dismissed in system, but this

website could show his corruption level as utterly bad. In this website you can Voice out

Constitutional violations, injustice, inhumanity, corruption, cruelty to animals happening in

their vicinity, traffic rules, public hygiene etc. This site is helpful to the nation by creating

awareness for social responsibilities

2.1Product Perspective

EXISTING SYSTEM:

In order to show our voice we need to conduct debates, group discussions, meetings and so

on. Present sites focused on some social responsibilities like mainly on business,

entertainment and education. They can’t provide social responsibilities like traffic rules,

public hygiene and corruption.

PROPOSED SYSTEM:

In our proposed system we used new technologies to implement more features.

We used front end tool as RAD (Rational Application Development) and for backupDB2 is

used. The prospect of social networking is also proven with the fact that the technology is

integrated. Social networking is widening, and today it offers a strong support to the

companies in providing the much desired touch of concern.

In our system we provide a common platform where people of India can Voice out

violations, injustice, inhumanity, corruption happening in their vicinity, traffic rules, public

hygiene, aversion to bribery etc. We call for an online debate or discussion on certain topics.

We have the ability to tag social discipline violators using their UID.

Through this site the citizen of India can improve the social awareness. This site needs more

proofs and details of user to post their views.

And this site is going to help a nation.

2.5 Product Functions

Functional Requirements

i. Should provide a common platform where people of India can

a. Voice out violations, injustice, inhumanity, corruption happening in their

vicinity

b. Endorse someone else’s concern and augment with more proofs, details etc.

c. Call for an online debate or discussion on certain topics of broad applicability

ii. Should be highly dynamic, with minimal static content as framework and maximum

content created by site participants

iii. Should be highly extensible to the extent technically possible. Users should be able

to add content, add small pieces of new functionality and change their portion of the

site (not just colors & look & feel).

iv. Being dependent highly on dynamic content collaborated by users, the site should

have the features to auto analyze topics, group discussions, auto recommend threads

based on searches etc.

v. Should have the ability to tag social discipline violators using their UID

vi. The site can provide various measures for fellow citizens to rate, control and monitor

the social responsibility of a given individual. For example, if you find your classmate

did a good job at the college function arrangements, you can increase his service-

orientation score by +1. If you find your neighbor smoking in public in front of

children, you can decrement his responsibility score by 1. When everyone assess &

reward a person for his social actions this way, one can see a true scale of where he

stands vis-à-vis where he thinks he really is. A traffic police giving ticket is no more

just monetary. He can (as a user of this website) affect you driving sense score. If a

police cop demanded for bribe, he may not be dismissed in system, but this website

could show his corruption level as utterly bad.

vii. Authenticity for adding users are utmost important for such a website. Definitely one

should not be allowed to have more than one profile.

There should be a placeholder for dealing with disputing situations for the site as it is quite

possible for recipients of negative reward to resist. The dispute resolution mechanism

should not be like traditional court, it should again be based on social forum like multiple

opinions, group actions etc.

2.6 User Characteristics

A. Professional look and feel

B. Use of AJAX at least with all registration forms

C. Browser testing and support for IE, NN, Mozilla, and Firefox.

D. Use of Graphical tool like JASPER to show strategic data to admin

2.7 Constraints

Lack of Anonymity: As the user is putting out his personal information, someone can

find ways to do in.

Even though certain measures taken to stop the cyber stalking, online scamsand

identity theft, still may never known.

It is a time wasting process for those who are busy and not interested in these sites.

One should have computer knowledge to view these sites.

One should be affordable for viewing these sites through internet.

One should be interested in expressing his views on social responsibilities.

Many of them are more interested in entertainment and informative sites than these

sites.

Site should be popular to attract many users.

These sites will never provide information to the end user directly, at least not any

more.

As there are no advertisements on these sites, there is no revenue from these sites

and it will be a burden for the administrator.

2.9 Use case model Description

Use cases. A use case describes a sequence of actions that provide something of

measurable value to an actor and is drawn as a horizontal ellipse.

Actors. An actor is a person, organization, or external system that plays a role in one or

more interactions with your system. Actors are drawn as stick figures.

Associations. Associations between actors and use cases are indicated in use case

diagrams by solid lines. An association exists whenever an actor is involved with

an interaction described by a use case. Associations are modeled as lines connecting use

cases and actors to one another, with an optional arrowhead on one end of the line.

1) Performance requirements

A user with valid id can share his views on the activities he desires.

2) Safety requirements

By incorporating robust and proven DB2 in to the system the reliable performance and

integrity of data is insured. There must be a power backup for the server system. Since the

product is of 24X7 availability, there should be a power backup for the server which

provides the information.

3).Security requirements

Sensitive data is protected from unwanted access by user’s appropriate technology and

implementing strict user access criteria.Facilty of unique user number and password s that

unauthorized user cannot login the system. Operational rights for each user or terminal can

be defined .Thus a user can have access to specific terminals and specific options only.

This site uses the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol for securing the data. Secure Socket

Layer (SSL) protects data in three key ways:

Authentication: ensures that you are communicating with the correct server. This

prevents another computer from impersonating the site.

Encryption: Scrambles transferred data.

Data integrity: verifies that the information post by the user wasn’t altered during

the posting. The system detects if data was added or deleted after user post the

message. If any tampering has occurred, the connection is dropped.
