Internet data uploading and processing

Abstract

Forecasting Technology and Network Simulation (FTNS) unit in Telekom Research and Development (TMR&D) has produced several forecasting/planning tools to replace the ones currently used and imported by Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM). The tools are used by TM’s to formulate business and network planning and thus helping TM to save time, money and resources on other software. The industrial attachment project is to build a Computer Software Configuration Item (CSCI) called Internet Data Uploading and Processing (IDUP). This CSCI is a part of the forecasting technology system project. The purpose of IDUP is to upload the Internet data file into the database server. IDUP also has the capability of processing data in order to display monthly report summaries. The information stored in the database is mainly used by the user in the website. From the web, users can view all monthly report summaries, print the selected summary report, and also can export the data into other software. This file format will then be used for forecasting purposes. The development of IDUP is divided into three categories. IDUP is built using Microsoft Visual Basic 6. The database for IDUP is built using Oracle 9i. The development to display and print out the information from the database is using Active Server Page (ASP). System modeling and design for Object-Oriented Analysis and Design (OOAD) is done using Unified Modeling Language (UML). This industrial attachment project uses the PROPS model for its development methodology. This model is used throughout the entire project in TMR&D. The standard and guideline to be used for the documentation purposes of this industrial attachment project follows the IEEE standard and guideline for software development.
