Operational Concepts Allows users to look up UW community members’ contact information from the UW directory Every UW community member has a record that includes name, email, phone, box (for faculty or staff), and major (for students)

System Design Midlet issues request to the Servlet with the name of the person the users want to contact Servlet queries UW online directory and parses the returned data retrieving the contact info Servlet returns formatted data to the Midlet Midlet displays the data in a navigable format

Lifecycle Who benefits? Who’ll support it? Students, staff, or anyone who wants to contact people at the UW Who’ll support it? Minimal support necessary. Servlet can run on its own; only relies on a running Tomcat server and a static format of the UW web directory The UW might maintain support so that the system could continue to be used

Feasibility Rationale Able to produce a servlet that obtains contact information Directory format is stable HW 2 showed that this project is very feasible

Extensions Users may search by departments or other properties instead of names I don’t remember the name of the 403 instructor, but I remember he’s from the CSE Dept. Users may choose from a list of directories to search a person UW, UC Berkeley, Qwest, etc. Would need a different parser for each one Users may choose to search a person from multiple directories at the same time We don’t remember if Joe Smith attends UW or Seattle U.

? Concerns Listing on the UW directory is optional, so not everyone’s contact information is available Need to handle large number of results returned on a small screen Directory format could change – parser would need updating
