 The current stocks display system  The broadcast is only based on text and numbers often be overwhelming if too much information is shown.

1.1 Purpose of the system  The main objective of World-Wide Stocks Monitoring System is to provide users with an easy tracking and monitoring system of international stocks on a graphical interface.

 1. Ability to be displayed on large screens  2. Ease of Use. The User would only need to input the stock he wanted to monitor.  2. The system allows software administrators to change the stocks to be presented in the system.  3. The system is based on live feeds.  4. This system can also be used by individuals

(1) Stocks Select (2)Markers Display (5)Add RSS (3)Google Map (4) One Page Operations 1. User Selection – The system allows users to add/remove any stock from the display system. 2. Stocks Monitoring – The System monitors the RSS feeds and refresh its data periodically 3. Google Map Display interface – The System enables stocks information categorized on gobal Map 4. One-page-display – This AJAX application is fully done on 1-page. Thus there would be no Server dependence after the initial load. 5. Administrator access – To update new RSS feeds to the system. 1.

1. User fills form with the needed stocks and presses the Show Button. 2. The XML database returns the RSS URIs back to Explorer.php. 3. The Explorer calls for RSS Feeds Retrieval. 4. RSS Feeds from various stock centers are sent to the RSS Parser 5. The Parser returns Parsed data. 6. Google Map API is activated to Draw the required Markers. 7. The marker send the Parsed data for Formatting 8. The Formatted Data is passed back to be displayed in the Markers.

 1) Google map API needed a key  2) There was insufficient time for development.  3) This project is particularly difficult because the RSS feeds to live stocks are not readily available.  4) Google API –The Google API does not allow multiple marker to be opened at the same time.  5) Integration –Much effort was used to ensure the components are asynchronous to each other.  6) XML Database – A XML Database was created using Prototype Toolkit to read and write database.

 Time Limited Demostration.  n.html n.html

 Greatly improved Visibility and Asthestics  Viable on Very-Large Displays.  Clear view of stocks.  Live-Feeds using RSS.  Easy Selection of Stocks.  Easy addition of Feeds.
