Functional GoalsFunctional Goals

•The topic of engineering dynamic web pages is to take as a theme the concept of merging engineering and art, and an overview of the concepts involved in e-business.

•This is to be done in the form of an animation using Macromedia Flash 5 as the tool for building the animation, and to be displayed on our project web page.

Page 10: ENGINEERING DYNAMIC WEB PAGES University of Texas at Dallas 08/09/2002 Dr. Lawrence Chung George Sarabia & Trong Nguyen

Functional GoalsFunctional Goals

•UML is to be used to show an e-commerce sample from an engineering point of view.

Non-functional GoalsNon-functional Goals

•Performance

•Modifiability

•Enhance ability

•Portability

Page 12: ENGINEERING DYNAMIC WEB PAGES University of Texas at Dallas 08/09/2002 Dr. Lawrence Chung George Sarabia & Trong Nguyen

Non-functional GoalsNon-functional Goals

Performance

•The animation uses less processing time due to the size and type of file.

•The high level of compression allows the handling of these files with less memory usage.

Page 13: ENGINEERING DYNAMIC WEB PAGES University of Texas at Dallas 08/09/2002 Dr. Lawrence Chung George Sarabia & Trong Nguyen

Non-functional GoalsNon-functional Goals

Modifiability

•Due to layers, making changes to the animation to a single layer may not affect the rest of the animation

•Changes to layers above may affect layers below

Page 14: ENGINEERING DYNAMIC WEB PAGES University of Texas at Dallas 08/09/2002 Dr. Lawrence Chung George Sarabia & Trong Nguyen

Non-functional GoalsNon-functional Goals

Modifiability

•Due to a timeline, appending changes to the animation becomes subtle since frames before the events remain unmodified.

•If a change needs to be inserted before an event, then the timeline can get disrupted throughout the entire animation from the point of insertion.

Page 15: ENGINEERING DYNAMIC WEB PAGES University of Texas at Dallas 08/09/2002 Dr. Lawrence Chung George Sarabia & Trong Nguyen

Non-functional GoalsNon-functional Goals

Enhance-ability

•Due to the nature of the process it is easy to enhance

•The location along the timeline, will determine how easy it will be to enhance

Page 16: ENGINEERING DYNAMIC WEB PAGES University of Texas at Dallas 08/09/2002 Dr. Lawrence Chung George Sarabia & Trong Nguyen

Non-functional GoalsNon-functional Goals

Portability

•It’s the easiest thing to do because flash runs on web browsers.

•As long as a plug-in is installed, this file should be read

•The UML diagram was added to illustrate a sample e-commerce transaction –in this case online shopping– from a high level, in the form of a storyboard.

•This was shown to provide an overview of how such a transaction would play out in the context of e-business.

•This was followed by an animation for brief but clear understanding of the sample.

UML Collaboration DiagramUML Collaboration Diagram

A collaboration diagram is an A collaboration diagram is an interaction diagram that emphasizes interaction diagram that emphasizes the structural organization of the the structural organization of the objects that send and receive objects that send and receive messages. It shows a set of objects, messages. It shows a set of objects, links among those objects, and links among those objects, and messages sent and received by those messages sent and received by those objects. Collaboration diagrams are use objects. Collaboration diagrams are use to illustrate the dynamic view of a to illustrate the dynamic view of a system.system.
