Abstract:

In addition to the teaching process, Princess Noura University presents several

activities. An example of such activities is the execution of projects. Archiving of such

projects is very important for the whole university specially the Faculty of Computers

and Information Sciences.

This work aims at computerizing and/or registering the projects established at

the university. As there are several types of projects, this work is dedicated and

customized to register only the under-graduate computer projects. In this concern, a

database for such computer projects will be established and developed. This will be

useful for keeping track of any project status. This is also necessary for eliminating or

preventing any redundant efforts. Archiving such projects is important for printing any

catalogues or annual reports issued by the Faculty of Computers and Information

Sciences. For any project, a set of parameters and attributes will be considered. The

attributes will include but not limited to: project title, team work (including the students

and their advisor), year, area category, contact person (phones, email, ), project

objective, problem addressing, end-user, project abstract, keywords, recommendation

and/or concluding remarks, nature, characterization, requirement of any devices or

softwareetc.

Moreover, the implemented website will present several activities such as

updating operations, searching, navigation, doing some relevant statistics, printingreports, .etc. This website can be accessed by anyone who is involved in the project

working specially the department staff and heads.

5.1 Introduction

The process here aims at moving an idea from concept to reality. In business,

engineering and other fields, implementation refers to the building process rather

than design process. [ http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/implementation, 2010 ]

In other word, the implementation is the process of realizing a project in

practice according to the agreed work plan and the practice solution chosen to

perform a given function. It involves 'Project Management and Monitoring'.

In computer science, an implementation is a realization of a technical

specification or algorithm as a program, software component, or other computer

system.

[http://www.classicistranieri.com/appuntidiinformaticalibera/a2891.htm,2010]

5.2 Interface Technologies

World Wide Web is growing very rapidly and more and more governmental

and nongovernmental institutions, private companies, universities and research

institutes are presenting their contents on the internet. There are many different

techniques available to connect a user interface to the Web but all these techniques

have some advantages and some disadvantages.

This chapter compares some techniques such as the Microsoft.NET as in Active

Server age (ASP.NET), Java2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) as in Java Script Pages (JSP)

and Pre-processing HTML Pages (PHP) to finally choose the convenient and more

useful interface technique for our project implementation.

5.2.1 Microsoft.NET vs. J2EEJava 2 Enterprise Edition:

(J2EE) is Java 2 Enterprise Edition; it provides a common programming

language and development platform for various operating systems.

It is made up of many components which enable applications to be distributed

in the Java language and write web-based applications and client-server application.

One of the technologies which are used on Java language is the Java Server

Pages (JSP). It was developed by Sun Microsystems to allow server-sides scripting

which means that JSP files are executed on the server machine and the resultant

html is returned to the client.

*Paul, N. Evans, D, .NET security: lessons learned and missed from Java, IEEE

Computer Security Applications Conference, 6-10 Dec. 2004, pp. 272 281].

JSP technology enables to create dynamic web pages and combine it with

static pages in easy, fast, and security way. JSP can be run on different operating

systems. It provides a hybrid server-side model which means the compilation will be

started when the first user enters the site so it will take long time for compilation.

[David Carew, Jeff Wilson, "Getting on the open road: J2EE fundamentals for ASP

developers-a roadmap for ASP developers making the transition to J2EE",

http://www.developers.net/external/564, 2006].

JSP is more powerful in security and it is cover large areas of security. It is

including cryptography, authentication and authorization, public key infrastructure,

and more.

[M. Morrison, J. Morrison, A. Keys, "Integrating web sites and databases",

Communications of the ACM, Vol. 45, No. 9, pp. 81 86, September 2002].

Microsoft.NET:

The Microsoft.NET Framework is a software component which can be added to the

Microsoft Windowsoperating system. It provides pre-coded solutions to manage the

execution of programs written specifically for the framework.

[Daniel Winter, PHP, ASP or ASP.NET?,http://www.builderau.com.au, 2004].

ASP.NET is part of Microsoft's .NET platform and is the next generation ASP, but it

is not an upgraded version of Microsoft's Active Server Pages (ASP) technology. It is

based on the Common Language Runtime (CLR) which is shared by all Microsoft.NET

applications.

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_.NET_Framework, pp. 1-5, 2006].

ASP.NET can create dynamic web pages which are enabling to retrieve, modify,

and display the data from database. It can separate the programming code into

HTML tags and ASP web pages. So, it will be enable the HTML designer and ASP

programming to work together more effectively.

Now, ASP.NET provides the programmer with powerful feature. This feature is

the compiled server-side model this compiled server-side model has two

advantages:

1. They are first compiled and stored in machine-readable format so they will

run faster.

2. Compiled programs are created in development environments which provide

debugging utilities so it will be easy to locate and correct errors.

However, this feature isn't available in neither java nor ASP, and ASP.NET enables

you to create great pages with fewer codes than ASP.

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASP.NET, 2006].

Recently, Microsoft developed the Microsoft.NET platform for executing web

pages codes with security. .Net benefited from java experience in security field so

they have similar security goals and mechanisms.

5.2.2 Microsoft.NET vs. PHPPre-processing HTML Pages (PHP):

PHP is a scripting language based on the model of pre-processing HTML pages.

It is open source server-side scripting language that is very similar in syntax to C

language. Also it is an interpreted scripting language. PHP has a smaller code path,

meaning there's less server-side code executed to parse and execute your PHP page

which results in more efficient memory and usage and faster execution.

ASP.NET

The main advantages are:

1. It is an object-oriented.

2. Flexibility to choose your programming language.

3. Language source is compiled.

4. The Web pages run much faster.

5. There is also a very comprehensive range of security available to

ASP.NET.

5.8 Procedures DescriptionA procedure is a section of a code that performs a specific task. In our website we

used several procedures each of it receives input and generate an output such as insert

,update and delete procedures which are appended in the appendices.5.9 Interface Description

World Wide Web is growing very rapidly and more and more governmental and

nongovernmental institutions, private companies, universities and research institutes

are presenting their contents on the internet. There are many different techniques

available to connect a user interface to the Web but all these techniques have some

advantages and some disadvantages operations.

5.9.1 Building User Interface:The interface is supported by different user controls to enable the interaction with

users. Such controls are: buttons, hyper links, image buttons, drop down list, text boxes,radio buttons, etc. These controls facilitate interaction and deal with the System by

selecting, inserting, clicking and navigating.
