During the second meeting with the project supervisor, we discussed most of the material that has been completed and where the project should be progressing to. As a second supervisor has not yet been assigned, I will be moving forward with research under the assumption that my work to date is accurate. My initial presentation will take place once a second supervisor has been allocated.
The presentation slide show was viewed and found to be sufficient for the requirements, I have been told to complete the weightings marking sheet and submit this, I will also update the presentation to include my reasoning for the scheme I choose.
I have planned the project extensively but have been informed that one of the most important criteria in planning is to ensure that I map the deliverables life cycle sufficiently to ensure completion of all objectives.
Initial research topics were covered and found to be adequate.
I have been asked to generate a prototype report on a relevant topic of my choosing. This needs to be a professional report so that my style may be assessed initially. This will highlight any issues before moving on to larger documentation.
We also discussed UML modelling software, this is quite an important part of the planning stage so it may be valuable for me to actually develop a sub-report that can be included in my report that details my findings toward these packages. This could potentially be a topic for the prototype report; however, I feel that I would like to report on a more dominant topic to the project in order to start getting feedback as soon as possible.
The final item discussed was the class diagram. One of the possibilities raised was to decompose the bicycle itself in order to have more specialised classes capable of dealing with individual components. I spent a little time looking at possibilities and came up with a potential candidate. To this revised version, I have also added some functionality.
This is far from a completed diagram in any respect, but I hope it gives an idea of what a suitable architecture could be and shows a little of the functionality that will be implemented.
While I continue working on the initial design documents, I will begin researching one of my core topics in order to present my prototype report.
