Problem Definition It’s indeed difficult and cumbersome to remember so many websites and their functions. It becomes very convenient if all such facilities with enhanced features are available at a single place and that’s the aim of our project-ONLINE UTILITY SYSTEM. Online Utility System is the web portal that provides you multiple utilities at a single mouse click. A complete package in itself, this system will definitely help you out in your daily chores.

Scope Online utility system is basically a web portal providing the user with wide range of utilities which are the following:- BASIC UTILITIES:- Timer/clock Sticky notes Schedular Address book Currency converter Temperature indicator Memo etc. ADVANCED UTILITIES:- Chatting Uploader [news,ebooks,music,images] Image gallery Media player Forums/Blogs Direct login to Gmail,FB,etc. RSS feeds etc.

Developing the web portal involves preparation of the web layout which will act as the framework for further development. Then the utility modules will be embedded in the layout. When the user registers to the website, he can access the utilities provided by the website. User’s records will be stored in the database.

Software Requirements SERVER SIDE :- ASP. CLASSIC 3.0 / PHP IIS server 6.0 or higher Windows XP/VISTA/7 Windows server 2000 sp2 or higher OLEDB/ODBC drivers MS Access / MySql MS Office components

CLIENT SIDE :- OS support for popular web browsers like :- Internet Explorer Mozilla Firefox Google chrome Requires internet connection.

HOW and WHERE the technologies will be used in the project ? HTML, XHTML, CSS will be used on the client side for developing the portal layout. ASP or PHP versions will be used for dynamic processing of the portal on the server side. Databases such as MS Access or MySql will be used as the back end for storing the data of the portal. JavaScript will be used for validating the information entered by user on the portal. AJAX will be used for displaying the refreshed part of the page without the need to modifying the entire form. Servers such as IIS or Apache tomcat or Weblogic can be used for processing the webpage.

Literature Review Heinz School of Public Policy and Management, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, U.S.A. Abstract : Recently, many of the Web sites made the transition to Web portals by incorporating additional features such as news, maps, driving directions, chat rooms, services, and many others. By doing so, Web portals try to address a variety of needs of Web users. Specifically, portals attract users who prefer to satisfy a variety of individual needs on one site instead of having a variety of Web sites for specific needs.

Henry Louie, Member, IEEE, Marty Burns, Member, IEEE, and Claudio Lima, Member, IEEE Abstract : The IEEE Smart Grid Web Portal is an online resource that to date has been accessed by over Smart Grid professionals, academics and other interested individuals from around the world. Launched in January of 2010, the IEEE Smart GridWeb Portal is a resource that converges and organizes all Smart Grid- related IEEE events, activities, news and assets into one place—accessible to anyone, anywhere in the world.

Future scope of Project The further development, study and research of the portal will enable us to add newer, fresher and advanced utilities in our project. Due to the scalability made possible in the web development, there is a huge scope for development in the future.
