ABSTRACT
Through this report, we introduce a novel approach to sharing information between students,
lecturers and the administration in order to enhance quality of information in campus
environment. We describe a network for distributing campus information among lecturers and
students. The concept of developing campus information is to ensure that student can access
information at any time, at any locations and ad-hoc basic. Information System helps the
students and lecturers on campus to find and access information based on ad-hoc basic, which is
of interest and relevant to students or lecturers through a smart phone. We will develop an
Android application thereby providing a collaborative communication system within the campus
aiding everyone participating in it. This will create a ubiquitous environment throughout the
campus making it a very positive and exciting experience for all the participants.
Thus we have implemented the android application which promotes high usage of mobile phones
by students into a system through which the students can learn and to present an informative tool
which they can use to solve their queries and also receive the latest news running around the
campus on their mobile phone devices. With maximum people shifting towards smart phones
and a boom in the android application market has motivated us to develop an Android
application that will prove to be learning as well as an informative tool for the students across the
campus.

Our concept of developing a campus information system seeks to provide a

collaborative communication system anytime, anywhere throughout the campus.

In this project we present a thorough model that we seek to design Campus News Information
System as an Android application.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

[6]

1.1 INTRODUCTION
India has the fastest growing telecom network in the world with many users moving towards
Smart Phones and majority by students. Other than India all over the world has boom in mobile
with many applications that are useful in day today life such as games apps, video calls,
photograph apps, Shopping Apps, easy search options etc
We introduce a novel approach to share information via an Android application between students
and lecturers in order to enhance quality of information in campus environment via HTTP
technology. We describe a network for distributing campus information among lecturers and
students. The concept of developing campus information via HTTP technology is to ensure that
student can access information at any time, within campus. Information System helps the
students and lecturers on campus to find and access information based on ad-hoc basic, which is
of interest and relevant to students or lecturers, they only need an Android-based smart phone.
The CNIS model will use a Semantic Mobile Environment. The architecture of the CNIS will
consist of three components: a web application as the user frontend, a server application in the
middle and a freely scalable number of service nodes for delivering the information to the mobile
devices.
Android is Open Google mobile platform which provide greater flexibility, Rapid Application
Development and Easy to Develop User Inteface with rich api collection. It is mixture of c,c++
and java.

[7]

Figure 1: Architecture of Android

Android Architecture:
1) Linux operating system kernel that provides the low-level interface with the hardware,
memory management, and process control, all optimized for mobile devices.
2) Open source libraries for providing various functionality like Browsing ,font rendering,
Multimedia stuff etc. It include SQLite, Web Kit, OpenGL, media manager, Free type and SGL,
SurfaceManager etc.

Android uses Dalvik VM which Supports multiple virtual machine processes per device

Uses runtime memory efficiently Java .class / .jar files converted to .dex at build time Runs
optimized file format (.dex) and Dalvik bytecode
3) An application framework that exposes system services to the application layer, including the
window manager, content providers, location manager, telephony, and peer-to-peer services.
4)Application layer which provide interface to develop user-interface and application. It contain
all application which interact with user.

[8]

1.2 SCOPE
Android being a relatively new technology, the future scope in the project is immense.
Scalability would be the biggest scope. The application can be made available off campus as well
whereby only certain services would be made available to the user. Information security plays a
vital role in the system work model for ensuring confidentiality and integrity, smooth functioning
and reduced misuse of the system. Advanced security features can be employed for enhanced
functioning of the application.
As of for now, the project will enable the college student to download the study material such as
question bank, assignment questions, tutorials etc. But in the near future, if the lecturer or the
professor is not able to take lectures for a long duration, then the lecturer can make a video of the
lecture from his workplace and give it to the administrator to upload it on the server, and the
corresponding link will be send to the students. Thus the process of e-learning can be
incorporated with the CNIS project in the future to provide a robust learning system with the
CNIS being a communication system or bridging the gap for a better learning experience.
Being a relatively new idea in India, we can even go commercial with the idea and provide
numerous campuses with the application.

[9]

1.3 OBJEVTIVE
Ubiquity across an enterprise or campus is a very positive and exciting experience for the
students, faculty, staff and visitors to the institution. Having instant access to email, the internet,
and other IT services irrespective of location can dramatically change the way your constituents
live, work, study, learn, and play. Thus with CNIS we provide a ubiquitous environment across
the campus wherein it will serve as a collaborative communicative system.

Our concept of developing a campus information system seeks to answer these questions in a
personalized way, at any time, at any location. The idea is to enable the user to find and access
all information that is of relevance to him. All he needs is a smart phone which enables the
execution of an android application. All used techniques are in themselves not new or unique,
but the combination of instant messaging. On top of that, the system based on a platform made
purely for research is in the stage of evolving into a product and is even now being utilized as a
public service on-campus. There is also an approach to use mobile devices for interaction during
classroom teaching. Altogether we find a situation on Campus, where students use their mobile
device for learning and interacting.

PROJECT Analysis

[11]

2.1 PROBLEM STATEMENT

India is the fastest growing telecom network in the world with many users moving towards
Smart Phones and majority among them being youngsters and students. Other than India all over
the world has boom in mobile with many applications that are useful in day today life such as
games apps, video calls, photograph apps, Shopping Apps, easy search options etc. Now a days
mobile is not just for communication purpose but also used for doing number of work using
single application within one phone. People just use mobile applications to complete their work
faster, efficiently, effectively.

Figure 2: Scenario of Android Market

These types of application are provided by many companies like Nokia with windows
application, Apples Mac OS and largest selling Samsung Android phone has covered the entire
mobile market.

Today all Mobile devices are inbuilt with Bluetooth device. The University of Koblenz campus:
in a series of projects in 2010, they developed Living Books, personalized, intelligent teaching
material, which is also available for PDAs and smart mobile phones. There was also an approach
to use mobile devices for interaction during classroom teaching.But the problem with the concept

[12]

of Living Books was that they used the Bluetooth technology. The Bluetooth technology has the
following problems:

One of the things that may cause conflicts for Bluetooth is that it uses the same frequency as the
Wavelength standard.

Another problem for Bluetooth is when there are a number of mobile devices in the same room,
and possibly attempting the same operation. Since Bluetooth is Omni-directional, it encounters
problems in discovering the intended recipient device. Bluetooth devices must perform a
discovery operation that will likely find many other devices in the same room. At this point, the
user must choose the proposed recipient, which will require special information.

Furthermore, Bluetooth has so many security mechanisms that it would have to carry out in
order to prevent eavesdropping.
Using Bluetooth, inbuilt application and new application cannot be used in efficient manner, so
we have to enlarge our scope from Bluetooth to HTTP or GSM which is much, highly effective
in use.
Solution to the above problem:

In this project we present a thorough model that we seek to design Campus News Information
System as an Android application.

Using Android technology to develop this application, the drawbacks of Bluetooth are overcome
and also the purpose of ubiquity is kept alive. Creating an android application for this purpose
will have the following advantages:

GSM, EDGE, CDMA, Bluetooth, HTTP, EV-DO and UMTS technologies to send/receive data
across mobile networks.

A wide range of libraries for image, audio and video files.

Export and signing app for publishing, SQLite for data storage.

[14]

2.3 MEHTODOLOGY USED

Campus news information system design mainly focused on two sections
The tool we have used is : Eclipse IDE
Technology used: HTTP based

Programming used: Android Programming.

1) ANDROID SDK
The Android SDK provides you the API libraries and
developer tools necessary to build, test, and debug apps
for Android.
If you're a new Android developer, we recommend you
download the ADT Bundle to quickly start developing
apps. It includes the essential Android SDK components
and a version of the Eclipse IDE with built-in ADT
(Android Developer Tools) to streamline your Android app development.
With a single download, the ADT Bundle includes everything you need to begin developing
apps:

Eclipse + ADT plugin

Android SDK Tools

Android Platform-tools

The latest Android platform

The latest Android system image for the emulator

HyperNext Android Creator

RFO Basic

Android APIMiner

[15]

2) phpMyAdmin
phpMyAdmin is a free software tool written
in PHP, intended to handle the administration
of MySQL over the World Wide Web.
phpMyAdmin supports a wide range of
operations with MySQL. The most frequently
used operations are supported by the user
interface (managing databases, tables, fields,
relations, indexes, users, permissions, etc), while you still have the ability to directly execute any
SQL statement.

Features

Intuitive web interface

Support for most MySQL features:

browse and drop databases, tables, views, fields and indexes

create, copy, drop, rename and alter databases, tables, fields and indexes

maintenance server, databases and tables, with proposals on server configuration

execute, edit and bookmark any SQL-statement, even batch-queries

manage MySQL users and privileges

manage stored procedures and triggers

Import data from CSV and SQL

Export data to various formats: CSV, SQL, XML, PDF, ISO/IEC 26300 - OpenDocument Text
and Spreadsheet, Word, LATEX and others

Administering multiple servers

Creating PDF graphics of your database layout

Creating complex queries using Query-by-example (QBE)

Searching globally in a database or a subset of it

Transforming stored data into any format using a set of predefined functions, like displaying
BLOB-data as image or download-lin
[16]

Components of Anroid Programming used in CNIS

Shared Preferences:
Interface for accessing and modifying preference data returned by getSharedPreferences(String,
int). For any particular set of preferences, there is a single instance of this class that all clients
share. Modifications to the preferences must go through a SharedPreferences.Editor object to
ensure the preference values remain in a consistent state and control when they are committed to
storage.

Notification manager :
Each of the notify methods takes an int id parameter and optionally a String tag parameter, which
may be null. These parameters are used to form a pair (tag, id), or (null, id) if tag is unspecified.
This pair identifies this notification from your app to the system, so that pair should be unique
within your app. If you call one of the notify methods with a (tag, id) pair that is currently active
and a new set of notification parameters, it will be updated

Activity :
With the use of this components of android and HTTP we will connect real time device with
campus server.

android.database.sqlite:-

Contains the SQLite database management classes that an application would use to manage its
own private database.

Applications use these classes to manage private databases. If creating a content provider, you
will probably have to use these classes to create and manage your own database to store content.
See Content Providers to learn the conventions for implementing a content provider. See the
NotePadProvider class in the NotePad sample application in the SDK for an example of a
content provider. Android ships with SQLite version 3.4.0

If you are working with data sent to you by a provider, you will not use these SQLite classes, but
instead use the generic android.database classes.

Android ships with the sqlite3 database tool in the tools/ folder. You can use this tool to browse
or run SQL commands on the device. Run by typing sqlite3 in a shell window.

[17]

HTTP
Most network-connected Android apps use HTTP to send and receive data. Android includes two
HTTP clients: HttpURLConnection and Apache HttpClient. Both support HTTPS, streaming
uploads and downloads, configurable timeouts, IPv6, and connection pooling. We recommend
using HttpURLConnection for applications targeted at Gingerbread and higher. For more
discussion of this topic, see the blog post Android's HTTP Clients.

[18]

2.4

COST ESTIMATION

COCOMO (Constructive Cost Model):

We will be using basic COCOMO as the cost estimation model for quick, early and rough order
of magnitude estimates of software costs. COCOMO uses 3 levels of project complexity:
1. Organic project
2. Semi-detached project
3. Embedded project
CNIS can be classified as a semi-detached mode project.
The equations in this model are:

E = ab(KLOC)bb
D = Cb(E)db
P=E/D

Where E is the effort applied in person-months,

D is the development time in chronological months.
KLOC is the kilo-lines of code
The coefficients ab,bb,cb,db for semi detached mode are as follows:
ab = 3.0
bb = 1.12
cb = 2.5
db = 0.35
Now, we assume that the estimated kilo-lines of code in CNIS is 4 KLOC.
Effort Estimation:
E = 3.0 x (4)1.12 = 14.53
= 15 person-months approx.
Duration estimation:
D = 2.5 x (15)0.35
= 6.45
= 7 months approx.
Persons Estimation:
P = 15 / 7
= 2.24
= 3 persons approx.

4.4 TESTING
Testing Objectives :

Testing is a process of executing a program with the intent of finding an error.

A good test case is the one that has high probability of finding an undiscovered error.

A successful test is the one that uncovers most of the undiscovered error.

TestingPrinciples :

Alltestcaseshouldbetraceabletothecustomerrequirements.

Tests should be planned long before the testing begins.

Exhaustive testing is not possible.

Tobemosteffectivetestingshouldbeconductedbyan independent thirdparty.

Testability:

Operability: - The better it works the more efficiently it can be tested.

Observability:- What you see is you test.

Controllability: - The better you control the better it can be optimized.

Decomposability: -By decomposing we can quickly isolateproblems and perform testing.

Stability: -The fewer changes the fewer disruptions to testing.

Simplicity- The less there is to test the more quickly we can test it.

Understandability- The more information we have, the smarter the test.

Advantages of
project

[57]

The major project advantages are aimed at addressing the major concerns like: Simplicity, Cost
effectiveness and Security

Untutored Access Simple and convenient to use: the user interface in CNIS is simple and very
user friendly. The user can easily navigate through the application without any hindrance thus
providing user satisfaction.

Handiness The user, can access the application anywhere throughout the campus thus proving
mobility and useful at all times and at all places. In essence, CNIS brings the information to the
users by bringing the user to the information.

Freedom of movement The CNIS application will be developed for Android based phones
and most of the smart phones being Android 2.2 or Android 2.3, all applications work on these
platforms thus providing mobility and compatibility with all Android based smart phones..

Time redemptive CNIS application provide ubiquity to the users which saves the precious
time for the users and administration and makes the office timings constraints redundant for the
students using the application, this is due to the automation of everything and the fact that there
is no human intervention.

Minimized Human Intervention - Automatic processing of user request.

Limitations & Constrants:1. Android applications at times are device specific. Most important is memory management.
The CNIS application requires crisp and richness in its user interfaces which can take up a
considerable amount of memory. Thus the biggest challenge is to develop the application giving
a rich feel and at the same time having memory optimization. One of the ways we can attain this
is by converting some PNG images into JPEG format which reduces the image size by nearly 70
to 80 percent.
2. Not all networks have full coverage and some locations may be protected for electromagnetic
radiation, therefore not all users may be capable of getting a signal.
3. Not all users may have a smart phone. Therefore it may be a while before the target audience
for the application widens.
4. Delay of transmission of information by the GSM operators and intra and inter connection
delays.

[58]

Conclusion
&
Future scope

[59]

7.1 CONCLUSION
Thus we have developed a novel approach to sharing information between students, lecturers
and the administration in order to enhance quality of information in campus environment. We
describe a network for distributing campus information among lecturers and students. The
concept of developing campus information is to ensure that student can access information at any
time, at any locations and ad-hoc basic. Information System helps the students and lecturers on
campus to find and access information based on ad-hoc basic, which is of interest and relevant to
students or lecturers through a smart phone. We will develop an Android application thereby
providing a collaborative communication system within the campus aiding everyone
participating in it. This will create a ubiquitous environment throughout the campus making it a
very positive and exciting experience for all the participants.
This is my first attempt in developing a mobile application which gave me a basic understanding
of development and challenges of mobile application development. The main aim of the project
is to provide an easy to use application for searching the restaurants. The application has been
implemented and tested on real devices.

[60]

7.2 FURTHER SCOPE

The application can be improved in many ways and can be extended to support more devices like
the tablets and iOS devices.

This Project can be implemented from intranet to internet environment.

Many other functionalities can be added such as payment option for various form in college.
