Team meeting - week 8

As usual we had the team meeting in the EPICS lab in the Arms building. I was not feeling well but still I wanted to attend the meeting since I have already missed the previous meeting as well as the lab. So well all gathered in the EPICS lab at around 3:30 pm as scheduled. We were working on the presentation that has to be given on the week -8 lab. Jason, Jay and Xing were mainly working on the power point presentations slides. Myself, John and Vashisht were working on the description of all the attributes that are there in the use case. One will get a very clear idea of what we are going to do if they read the description. As I said we followed a particular notation in order to avoid the confusion.
There were quite a few problems in preparing the slides for the presentation on thursday's lab. But it was done with the combined effort of all guys in the team. We made sure that everything was ready for the lab on thursday. I will be not able to come to the thursday's lab because I have a Language test out on the same day at the same time. I have mailed William(TA) about this issue.
Finally it was one more successful meeting. We were able to finish all the things on time.

Missed the team meeting and also the Lab

I missed this week's team meeting because I was not at all feeling well. I went to PUSH for about 6 times in this week. But I got the gist of what happened in the team meeting as well as the lab.

Team Meeting

This team meeting was quite long one. We had to meet up on weekend because we were given multiple tasks to complete before the spring break. So we decided to complete the work well in advance. Myself and Jay met in the Lawson around 3:30 pm, we did some amendments related to the ER-model(which was getting regularly modified since many days). Then we had dinner and then again met at Owen residence hall. John joined us in the Owen hall, he already prepared a rough draft what we have to accomplish on that day(thanks to John).I had taken a rough sketch of what was told to be done before Spring break, so I brought that document. Jay had to go to the professor's office and emailed us the chapters 2 and 3 . The chapters had the required information about the ER models and also various other things that we were expected to do. We had to go through the two chapters before the team meeting. As expected we all went through the two chapters.
We made the final ER- model without any more flaws and also the Use-case. The professor asked us to prepare the Tables (the next version of the ER models) for the database. We were busy with the preparation of the tables required the database. Later we started to describe all the attributes of the use case diagram. The description will let people know what exactly is going on in the back end.
For Example:
Add Event:

                 1.     CLICK ADD ADMIN BUTTON 
                 2.     Select * from User
                 3.     Page will be loaded with columns (name, email, room #, adminflag) where adminflag is a checkbox

a.     If adminflag is true, load the checkbox with a checkmark

b.     If adminflag is false, load the checkbox with a blankmark

c.     If userID of current = session userID, then set box to uncheckable
4.     CLICK SUBMIT BUTTON

             5.     INSERT INTO
a)The text that is in the Capital are the functions that user will perform. 

      b)" * " implies all
      c)The text that is underlined is related to the Database.

We followed these notations in order to avoid confusion to the team members and also the project partner.
