Our first meeting for CS2103T project

Posted below is minutes of our meeting for CS2103T project today. After reviewing the content of today's meeting, I have to say we are amazing! As you can see, we've iendtified a clear purpose of this project, sketched out the basic structure of our program and cleared understanding problems with Dr.Bimlesh this afternoon. I'm glad to have Darren and Qin Chuan in the team and work together with them. They both have few years experience in programming and help me broaden my vision in analyzing problems during our discussion today. I hope we can keep a cordial working relationship this semester and try our best to design a good qualified product!
Happy Chinese New Year to all of you!

Analyze the required information to create an event: ü  Name of event ü  Venue ü  Time ü  Content (flow of programs to be held in the event: time,programs) ü  Budget calculator (items to buy: food, prizes, gifts etc) ü  Facilitator (limit number) ü  Participants (limit number) ü  Submit/ Save as draft
Action items						Person responsible			Deadline
To research on the problems of organizing an event To add in necessary functions based on research result						All attendees			Ongoing
		3. SYSTEM DESIGN
Discussion
In order to apply OO techniques, we decide to store all the information in view of objects in text files and create a fold called 'database' to keep all text files, instead of using any database servers
Darren proposed to design the program with 3-tier model : ü  GUI ü  Controller ü  Actual program code
Data structure : Array list
Action items						Person responsible			Deadline
Think about algorithms/computations						All attendees			Will be discussed in next meeting
To research on calendar implementation (flash, table or other tools)						All attendees			Ongoing
				4. PROPOSAL COMPONENTS
Discussion
Components to be included: ü  Problem statement, solutions ü  Case Diagram ü  Domain Model (UML) ü  Mock user interface ü  Sample input data ü  Sample output data ü  Implementation schedule
Action items						Person responsible			Deadline
Details and delegation of work will be discussed in next meeting						-			-
