ExCo meeting

Date : 18 September 2008
Time : 7.30 PM
Location : Lab5-31
Team members present : Mr Premrajan, Allen, Selamat, Morris
Team members absent : Xiongwei (reservist)

We presented the idea that we had agreed to implement, to our supervisor. However, Mr Premrajan informed that the idea only covers security on the items inside the building, but not the building itself. What we had wanted to propose is not what the entire project is about. So, back to the drawing board for the team!!!

Mr Premrajan explains the project plan and scope to the team. The main objective of the project is to give physical security to the building. So, risk analysis is to be conducted on each room, and then combine the analysis of each individual room to give the risk analysis of the whole floor, and then the whole building.

Mr Premrajan tasked the team to conduct more research on

1. physical security
2. softwares that we can use to create diagrams
3. services and operating systems implemented for security systems

By getting more information and conduction more research on the items above, we can decide how to implement the project and what functionality we want to include into our project.

Mr Premrajan also gave us some pointers that we can use, research on or add on to our project :

1. in programming, it is better to implement each room as an individual object
2. GUI : very important - users able to draw their room layout
3. GUI : adds value - able to change diagram
4. GUI : desirable feature - able to transfer / import available building plans in CAD format into our project. CAD file are in DXF format
5. suggested programming tools : C++ / . Net
6. some business rules : take on / keep in mind regarding Singapore's iN2015 MasterPlan, current and upcoming wireless access nationwide
