CASE STUDY:
This assessment is an individual report.
You are required to design a li
ary system for Kent Institute.
Assume that there are:
i. two campuses – Sydney and Melbourne
ii. 200 VET level students
iii. 300 Higher Education students
iv. 30 professional staff and 40 academic staff
You need to decide how many books, journals, DVDs or other media the li
ary holds.
Then specify the range of operations which will be needed for the li
ary system. For each of these
operations, discuss the most suitable sorting or searching method and why your chosen algorithm for each
operation is the most appropriate.
A nea
y University wants to use your system.
They have:
• One campus
• 25000 undergraduate students
• 10000 postgraduate students
• 5000 research students
• 2000 professional staff
• 4000 academic staff
What changes, if any, would you make to your system for the University to be able to use it
effectively and efficiently?
TASKS TO BE COMPLETED
Given the above information:
a) Decide the appropriate variables, keys and ranges to be used in the system. Justify.
) The operations that li
ary system should support.
c) Algorithms for the operations that your system should support. Also, justify the choice of
algorithms.
d) Changes for the larger university, if any, to be made in the original system. Justify.
ASSESSMENT SUBMISSION:
The assignment must be submitted online in Moodle. All materials MUST be submitted electronically in
Microsoft Word format. Other formats (e.g., pdf or MAC file) may not be readable by markers. Please be aware
that any assessments submitted in other formats will be considered LATE and will lose marks until it is presented
in MS Word. No paper based or hardcopy submission will be accepted.
