1. UDoCument: Electronic Scrapbook for the Information Era Soufiane Berouel, Undergraduate Student Supervised by Prof. Lily Liang Department of Computer Science and Information Technology, University of the District of Columbia, Spring 2009  Functions in figures 6 and 7 illustrate how files are handled in UDoCument: Figure 6. Folder Tree Structure Figure 7. Folder Management  The following figure presents a sample page of the scrapbook: Figure 8. A Sample Page of the Scrapbook  Text searching is very simple in UDoCument as shown in figure 9: Figure 9. Search Function Analysis : In the requirements analysis phase, we defined all functionalities that should be included in UDoCument, based on the information we gathered from possible users of the software. Design : During the design, the different functionalities are grouped under a hierarchy of the system as generally shown in figure 3: Figure 3. Hierarchical Task Analysis The following table presents the sub functionalities in detail: Table 1. List of Functionalities Implementation : UDoCument is created using java programming language and NetBeans IDE. Some external packages were used especially JTwain package for handling scanners. Testing : Every function in UDoCument was extensively tested. Diverse and complementary test cases were created that go through most possible execution paths. Introduction Scrapbooks have been a way to collect, organize and preserve information for many years. However, the old scrapbook became unable to satisfy the needs of the information era users. In the old scrapbook, searching is not efficient, documents are not reproducible, and users cannot handle new electronic resources of data. Figure 1. Old Scrapbook In this project, we design and implement UDoCument, a scrapbook software that answers these needs. The software offers a friendly graphical user interface and step by step guidance to help the user get familiar with the product after only few tries. Abstract Problem : Scrapbooks have been a way to collect, organize and preserve information for many years. However, with the overwhelming amounts of data coming from internet and other electronic sources as well as from printed hard copies, the old style scrapbook can no longer efficiently satisfy the needs that it intended to meet. Methods : In this project, we design and implement UDoCument, a scrapbook software which can be used to collect information from both electronic media and paper copies. Results : The testing phase proved UDoCument to be fully functional and can be easily used for daily information collection. Conclusion We developed UDoCument, an electronic scrapbook, that allows users to create documents using images from different resources and texts. UDoCument satisfies most of the needs of a scrapbook user in a systematic and efficient approach. The testing phase proved UDoCument to be fully functional and can be easily used for daily information collection. Approach UDoCument is developed using four software engineering phases in cycle: requirements analysis, design, implementation, and finally testing, as illustrated in figure 2: Figure 2.
