Knowledge Management System

1. Introduction
KNOWLEGDE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Knowledge Management System is actually the idea to store the knowledge of
senior students. There is no such system to store the assignments and projects of
students that they made during their era, and there is no such system for present
students to benefit from the knowledge of previous students.

The idea of this project is to preserve the knowledge within the university that
students develop as part of the process of developing projects. The idea is to
capture that knowledge so future students can benefit and learn from the
knowledge obtained by students who have done projects in similar areas.

This web Application will help the students and teachers of university to find the
previous and current projects and assignments. This application actually makes
the warehouse of knowledge.
1.1 Project Title:
“Knowledge Management System (KMS)”

1.2 Project Overview Statement :

This application provide three types of interfaces
One for student in which he/she can upload and download files, search particular
file, inbox the teacher etc
One for the teacher in which he/she can approve the project/assignment and can

1.4 Project Goals and Objectives

Our goal is to develop web application that will store the projects and assignment of
Students of university and facilitate the students and teacher of the university and that
application maintain the profile of user (student/teacher).
Using this application the student will upload and download projects or assignments and
the teacher will approve the files for uploading. The files will be uploaded only when
teacher will approve it. Teacher and students can communicate through service of inbox.

1.5 High-level system components

1 System will save all record of student projects.

2 System will validate the user.
3 System will keep record of user.
4 System will upload the file.
5 System will download the file.
6 System will provide the facility to user to inbox.
7 Search bar searches the required project.

1.6 List of optional functional units

This project was developed to fulfill user requirement; however there are lots of scope to
improve the performance of the Knowledge Management System.

So there are many things for future enhancement of this project. The future
enhancements that are possible in the project are as follows.

 Provide facility of discussion blog to students regarding their problems and

queries.
 Provide facility of giving marks or evaluate the assignments and projects.

1.7 Exclusions
 Video conferencing will not be included in this project.

1.11 Tools and technologies used with reasoning

The following programming languages and tools will fulfill our core requirements in the
accomplishment of this project
Technologies

 C#
 ASP.Net (Microsoft Active Server Pages)
 ADO.Net
 CSS (Cascade Style Sheets)

C# (Sharp)

Microsoft Corporation’s newest compiler, C# is now with us, and may become one of
the most celebrated compilers of the 21st century – if we can learn how to use its immense
capabilities. Some have questioned the immediate value of this new compiler, since it was
only a decade ago that C++ emerged from the computational think tanks of the world.
“What’s wrong with continuing to use C++?” they ask.
The answer is this: C++ will continue to serve some of us comfortably in the near term, but
there are features built into C# that make life easier when we program for the internet and
other remote It is manageable in ASP.net

ASP .NET (Microsoft Active Server Pages)

it provides a unified Web development model that includes the services

necessary for developers to build enterprise-class Web applications. While ASP.NET is
largely syntax compatible with ASP, it also provides a new programming model and
infrastructure for more scalable and stable applications that help provide greater protection.

ASP.NET is a compiled, .NET-based environment; you can author applications in any .NET
compatible language, including Visual Basic .NET, C#, and JScripts .NET. Additionally, the
entire .NET Framework is available to any ASP.NET application. Developers can easily

access the benefits of these technologies, which include the managed common language
runtime environment, type safety, inheritance, and so on.

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a style sheet language used to describe

the presentation semantics (that is, the look and formatting) of a document written in a
markup language. Its most common application is to style web pages written in HTML
and XHTML, but the language can be applied to any kind of XML document, including
SVG and XUL.

SQL (Structured Query Language)

SQL (Structured Query Language) (pronounced is a database computer language

designed for managing data in relational database management systems (RDBMS),
and originally based upon Relational Algebra. Its scope includes data query and
update, schema creation and modification, and data access control.

ADO.NET

ADO.NET provides consistent access to data sources such as Microsoft SQL Server,
as well as data sources exposed through OLE DB and XML. Data-sharing consumer
applications can use ADO.NET to connect to these data sources and retrieve,
manipulate, and update data.
ADO.NET includes .NET Framework data providers for connecting to a database,
executing commands, and retrieving results.

Tools:
 Microsoft Visual Studio 2008
 Microsoft Visio
 Microsoft Office 2007
 Ms Project
 Rational Rose
 SQL Server 2005

a. Microsoft Visual Studio

Visual Studio may currently be the most comprehensive Integrated

Development Environment or IDE on the market. One of the key factors that set Visual
Studio apart from any other IDE is the fact that it is easy enough for a beginner to start with
yet has the power and features that even the most advanced engineers continue to use.

Visual Studio is a cool development environment / tool from Microsoft that lets
programmers build user interfaces for web, windows and mobile technologies. It supports
several different languages beginning from C#, VB.NET, C++, PHP and many more. The

Knowledge Management System

development environment is the most advanced when compared to several other vendors.
Visual Studio (VS) has gotten a face lift when their newest framework called .NET
framework came into picture.

b. Microsoft Visio

Microsoft Office Visio 2007 makes it easy for IT and business professionals to visualize,
explore, and communicate complex information.

Visio is better for making flow charts, sitemaps, wireframes for software programs or
websites, and floor plans, etc. It's very easy to draw lines and boxes, and link them. It's way
more easy and fast to draw diagrams in Visio than in Photoshop.

c. Microsoft Office

Microsoft office is a package provided by Microsoft using this package we can

make documentation of our project.

d. Ms Project

Ms Project is used for making Gantt chart of the project.

e. SQL Server

Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database management system developed

by Microsoft. As a database, it is a software product whose primary function is to
store and retrieve data as requested by other software applications, be it those on
the same computer or those running on another computer across a network
(including the Internet).
