2. 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, , phone, box (for faculty or staff), and major (for students)

3. 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

4. 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

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

6. 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.

7. ?
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
