Iligan Medical Center College, March 2013, IMCC Research Database System

Project Adviser: Mr. Dindo Donald A. Manulat, Jr.

College of Computer Studies


The objective of the thesis is to develop a system that would let the graduates,

undergraduates and faculties to search for an existing thesis title to avoid any form of

duplication for their own research study. The user can search directly in the system

without logging in for an easy access to the systems GUI. The system study was

designed using Hypertext Pre-processor (PHP) program language and Cascading Style

Sheet (CSS) for the better and presentable appearance of the Graphical User Interface

(GUI). It has a simple database; the system administrator can add thesis information

specifically the thesis title, abstract, year published, school year, department and

author. The system will store thesis information and be can viewed by the users as well

as the administrator.

Furthermore, the researchers formulated problems namely: The thesis books in

the library can be accessed by one person at a time. The student have a hard time on

selecting which thesis title they want to proceed. The thesis titles are hard to find

because of the current manual based system. Base from the problems stated above,


9/58

the researchers then formulated the objectives of the study of the problems. These

objectives were stated as: to search for a certain thesis study on the system with the

thesis information like Thesis Title, Abstract, Year Published, School Year, Department

and Author/s. When the students, faculty, undergraduates and graduates are searching

for a thesis title in the system, that thesis title must not be similar to the thesis they want

to work for. The student has a direct to access in the system to search for thesis

information in the library computers and also they can search for a thesis study author.

The system is easier to access because it is electronic based and a user can use it

without logging in.

As overall result the researchers concluded that the system research study is the

best solution to avoid thesis study duplication.

THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE

1.1 Background of the Study

In Iligan Medical Center College, each graduate and undergraduate student has

its individual topic for their consequent research. The students have difficulties in

choosing research title because there is a tendency that their chosen topic of study are

already taken, thus duplication will be possible.

The researchers perform some interviews to the research personnel and they

found out that using our proposed system in Iligan Medical Center College would easily

identify research duplication. By using the system it will automatically display in the

system the important thesis Information.

The researchers aim to develop the IMCC Research Database System that is

helpful for all the students who need an idea on which thesis title they wanted for their

studies to avoid duplication from other existing thesis title. This system aims to lessen

and eliminate the problems of the students in looking for a thesis title.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

2.1 Design of Bidirectional Subject-Selection System for Graduation Thesis based

on Browser/Server Mode.

According to Ji-Liang, to overcome the shortcoming of graduation thesis subjects

selection management in university, a bidirectional subjects selection system for a

graduation thesis management system based on B/S mode is proposed and completed

(TU Ji-Liang, 2007).

This thesis is made for an accurate selection of thesis subjects to help the

researchers find what they want to be the title of their study. This relates to our proposal

for the reason that they will use also server based system.

2.2 Design and Realization of Graduation Thesis Selection System Based on Web

In view of Wang Pan, the increasing bachelor candidates and their collaboration

for graduation theses, as constructed a web-based graduation thesis selection system

adopting MySQL+PHP, which promulgates information on selectable thesis titles, helps

candidates preselect titles according to their interests, and supports tutors to decide

suitable participants for instruction (Wang pan, Wang Jing, 2007).

This is a system that helps bachelor candidates select a thesis title and allowing

them to choose according to their knowledge. The study is very helpful to the

researcher who needs to know which study they want to pursue.


12/58

2.3 Design of Undergraduate Graduation Thesis Management System

According to Wang Zhi-min, the paper proposes the undergraduate graduation

thesis management system's feasibility and function modules to solute the traditional

method and troubles. Then the system is realized based on LAMP platform and a new

solution method of paper management system is getting (WANG Zhi-Ming, WU Zhao-

Hua, 2008).

This study is made for the students in the colleges to provide a database system

for every thesis made by graduates and it runs only on Linux OS. In this instance the

benefactors are only the Linux OS users.

2.4 Implementing a Dynamic Database-Driven Course Using LAMP

According to Joseph Packy Laverty, David F Wood and John Turchek this paper

document the formulation of a database driven open source architecture web

development course. The design of a web-based curriculum faces many challenges: a)

relative emphasis on client and server-side technologies, b) choice of a server-side

language, and c) the cost and efficient delivery of a dynamic web development,

database-driven platform.

This paper reviews alternative dynamic web development, database-driven

platforms and presents a case study of integrating LAMP, an open source dynamic web

database driven solution, in an Information Systems Curriculum. Three sections were

presented over a three-year period. Information concerning course content, instructional


13/58

delivery methods, alternative LAMP technological infrastructures, student retention and

performance are also discussed (Laverty, 2011).

This study focus on the alternate solution for web development and database

driven platform that is useful nowadays to lessen the data storage and to utilize more

space on the system. It relates to our study because they LAMP that is similar to

WAMP.

2.5 Database System with methods for appending data records by portioning an

object into multiple page chains

In view ofBruce McCready Client/Server Database System with improved

methods for appending items to an object, such as appending data records to a

database table, in the context of a multi-user environment is described. The system

includes one or more Clients connected via a Network to a Server. The Clients store

data and retrieve data from one or more database table resident on the Server by

submitting SQL commands, some of which specify insert or append operations, for

appending records to a table ( McCready, 1998 ).

This study is helpful, though it is way back 1998, still their work was applied until

now, from simply retrieving and storing data from a server using sql commands. It is

related to this thesis study for the researchers also use SQL commands.

RESEARCH AND METHODOLOGY

3.1 Requirement Analysis

The researchers will utilize the data from a thesis being gathered from the library

and colleges which they use it for the improvement of the system, wherever the system

can provide information about a particular topic they want to search. And can access

through searching those data information that can help them find the topic easily.

3.2 Research and Design

The IMCC Research Database System utilizes the descriptive method of

research design. Its purpose is to describe the nature of a situation as it existed at the

time of the study and to explore the causes of particular phenomena. By employing this

research method, the proponents collected data to answer questions concerning the

current status of the subject of the day.

In addition, this method is used to determine the IMCC Research Database

System to provide all students and faculty for their thesis. It paves way for the

enhancement and development of the system by using MySQL and PHP. It ll be more

flexible by using this system with this said title that has implemented.

The IMCC Research Database System will be implemented through gathering

more information about research. With this structure system, you can view or see more


15/58

information about that research. The research also can help the students and also the

faculty to have a direct access to the system.

3.3 Construction and Testing

The IMCC research database system would be implemented through the use of

the computers in the IMCC Library because it is accessible to the students and also to

the faculty they can access and search the thesis title easily.

Testing is the process of evaluating the efficiency and reliability of the program.

This is done to identify the logical errors of the program structure. The researchers

followed the proper steps in testing the program, they test the system in unit by unit

sequence.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

4.1 Requirement Analysis

Before the researchers designed the system, they recognized the users wants

and needs. The full understanding of the system starts on which is the current problem

of the school, and we found out that choosing a thesis title is difficult for students in

IMCC because a lot of the thesis books are just placed on shelves in the library and

some even located in every department.

4.1.1 Project Charter

The main purpose of this system IMCC Research Database System is to

provide more accurate information with regards to the records of the following research

books. This helps to prevent hassles on finding the manual records which are located at

the institutional library, research office and as well as to the other departments. With a

proper maintenance and moderation of the proposed system is expected to last for a

long period of time.

4.1.2 Software Project Plan

The software project plan provides cost, effort, and time estimates the project

using various estimation techniques. The Gantt chart is a project management tool used

to schedule, organize, and coordinate tasks within a project.

Using Gantt chart, it will facilitate the project leader to distinguish the critical task

and slack time. And construct a cost model for the new system.


17/58

Gantt chart shows the length of time project that should measure against real

time. IMCC Research Database System plan to start last August 2, 2012 where in, it

takes 15 days until we decided to pursue the system for 5 days. The decision making

started last August 14, 2012. The requirements analysis started last August 20, 2012-

September 12, 2012 for 25 days. The logical design started on September 13, 2012 to

October 6, 2012 for 4 days, followed by the physical design of the system where it takes

22 days & it started last October 7, 2012. Reviewing the design takes 6 days where it

started last October 28, 2012 to November 2, 2012. The revised design takes 15 days

starting November 17, 2012 to December 5, 2012 and the Implementation of the system

takes 1 month, starting January 6, 2013 to February 3, 2013 and finally the

documentation started on February 10, 2013 to March 7, 2013. The documentation of

the system takes 25 days.

4.2 Analysis

This time, we have analyzed the data, define the research problem; develop and

implement a sampling plan; conceptualize, operationalize and test measures; and

develop a design structure. This work has done well; the analysis of the data is usually

fairly straight forward affair.


18/58

4.2.1 Context Model

Context model is a representation of system flow. It shows what goes in and

what goes out in the system. The context model is similar to conceptual framework it

shows the input and the output of the IMCC Research Database System.

Figure 2 Context Model

Figure 2: Context Model

In this Context Model our system is IMCC Research Database System. The first

step the researcher will search the thesis data they want, next input the new thesis data.

The last step we can view the list of thesis titles.

4.2.2 Use Case Diagram

A use case diagram can portray the different types of users of a system and the

various ways that they interact with the system. This type of diagram is typically used in

conjunction with the textual use case and will often be accompanied by other types of

diagrams, as well.

Figure 3: Use Case

In figure 3, the actor which is the student/user can perform actions like search for

thesis title, search for authors name, select thesis title and view thesis information. The

administrator can Log in, log out, and add, edit/update a thesis information. The admin

can also view and search for thesis title and author.

4.2.3 Entity Relationship Diagram

An entity-relationship (ER) diagram is a specialized graphic that illustrates

the relationships between entities in a database.

Figure 4: Entity Relationship Diagram

In ER diagram, the first entity is the admin, but it has no relationship to the

research, authors and department. The research entity has a primary key which is the

research_id, it is the foreign key to the authors entity, because the research and authors

entity has a many to many relationship. The department entity has a one to many

relationship to the research. The primary of the department is the foreign key of the

research, which is dept_id.

21/58

4.2.4 Deployment Diagram

The Deployment Diagram also helps to model the physical aspect of an Object-

Oriented software system. It models the run-time configuration in a static view and

visualizes the distribution of components in an application. In most cases, it involves

modelling the hardware configurations together with the software components that lived

on.

Figure 5: Deployment Diagram

The figure visualizes the database system that provides the information to the

client desktop that uses a web browser.


22/58

4.2.5 ACTIVITY DIAGRAM

An Activity diagram is similar to a flowchart. Activity diagrams and State Chart

diagrams are related. While a State Chart diagram focuses attention on an object

undergoing a process (or on a process as an object), an Activity diagram focuses on the

flow of activities involved in a single process. The Activity diagram shows how these

single-process activities depend on one another. Activity diagrams can be divided into

object swim lanes that determine which object is responsible for an activity

.Figure 6: Activity Diagram

In activity diagram, the first step is the view main page next the admin can log in

then view, update the thesis information and the last step for the admin is log out. The

Student can search and view for the thesis title.


23/58

4.2.6 Sequence Diagram

A sequence diagram in the Unified Modelling Language (UML) is a kind of

interaction diagram that shows how processes operate with one another.

Figure 7: Sequence Diagram

In Sequence diagram, it shows how the sequential process of the user and the

system. Upon searching a title or author, the system instantly give the list of thesis titles

and the user can select which title he wants to view its thesis information.


24/58

4.3 Design

In the design, input and output functions are classified. The two functions must

be coinciding with the Graphical User Interface (GUI). After the purpose and

specification of software is determined, software developers designed or employed

designers to develop a plan for a solution.

4.3.1 Database Design

Database design is the process of producing detailed data model of a database.

This logical data model contains all the needed logical and physical design choices and

physical storage parameters needed to generate a design in a Data Definition

Language, which can be used to create a database. A fully attributed data model

contains detailed attributes for each entity.

4.3.3 Graphical User Interface

A program interface that takes advantage of the computer's graphics capabilities

to make the program easier to use. Well-designed graphical user interfaces can free the

user from learning complex command languages. On the other hand, many users find

that they work more effectively with a command-driven interface, especially if they

already know the command language.

4.3.4 Program DesignThe activity of progressing from a specification of some required program to a

description of the program itself. Most phase models of the software life cycle recognize

program design as one of the phases. The input to this phase is a specification of what

the program is required to do. During the phase the design decisions are made as to

how the program will meet these requirements, and the output of the phase is a

description of the program in some form that provides a suitable basis for subsequent

implementation.

4.3.5 Capacity Plan

Capacity planning is the process of computing the bytes for each entity for a

particular month or year, studying each entity in the system into the five year plan and

specifying the most effective database storage that meets the current and future

demand services of the system.

4.3.6 Program Structure

The overall form of a program, with particular emphasis on the individual

components of the program and the interrelationships between these components.

Programs are frequently referred to as eitherwell-structuredorpoorly structured. With a

well-structured program the division into components follows any recognized principle

such as information hiding, and the interfaces between components are explicit and

simple.

Figure 17: Program Structure

In program structure, upon logging in, you will see the main page of the system.

4.3.8 Test Design

The developer demonstrates test that has few or no failures. This test is often

required to demonstrate users to view researches. It is desirable to be able to test the

reliability and accuracy of the system. The developer conducts various tests for the

system. The following tests are users to log in, administrator to update and delete, and

users to search and view. These tests are conducted to be able to know if the system

made was working successfully.

4.4 Construction and Testing

In construction and testing process, the developer generates system through

Entity Relationship Diagram as a step in implementing the system. It undergoes testing

process where it enables the researchers to know if it is functional or not, where in trial

and error method is being used, in order to determine whether the program is running.

4.4.1 Test Result

The test for administrator successfully granted. It was very reliable because base

on the test that the researchers done, only the system administrator can access the

system. The test ofthe research database system was accurate and accessible.

SUMMARY, CONCLUSION and RECOMMENDATION

SUMMARY

The students In Iligan Medical Center College, have difficulties in choosing

research title because there is a tendency that their chosen topic of study are already

taken, thus duplication will be possible. In Research Database System, the graduates

and undergraduates would easily identify research duplication. By using the system it

will automatically display to the interface the title, abstract, author, year published,

school year and department.

CONCLUSION

The study found out that the online Research Database System of IMCC is an

easier way to access research titles and reduce duplication. This will help the students

and faculties to view and search for a certain thesis. The system will help the students

to choose which thesis they want to pursue without duplication.

RECOMMENDATION

These are the following recommendation:

1. The researchers would recommend to the future researchers to develop and

enhance the system for a more comprehensive GUI, so that all of the user can

navigate and use the system easily.

2. The researchers would recommend by making the said system online.
