Brief Description

In this project, we will attempt to implement a “WEB PORTAL” that will contain expert web crawler, email service, bookmarks, address books, calendar etc. The web crawler automatically browses web pages and updates its database for various purposes like search, mobile agent facilities etc. This web robot will also be equipped with AI to save responses and to provide better results in future.

 

Objectives & Goals

Any Internet user will be able to use the services of this web portal.

Any search engine can use this database to update its own database according to its requirements.

Automatic browsing feature along with AI capabilities to determine path of its browsing,  based on the links in a web page.

Efficient database to respond to the queries of its users.

Availability of simple and advanced search options like search results in the response of a question asked in plain English.

Availability of mobile agents for doing chores of Internet users.

An existing email server will be used.

Services like bookmarks, address books and calendar will be provided.

 

Risk Analysis

Possible Risks

The estimated time for the project is not as accurate as it should be so the project might be delayed. This can also be result of using democratic decentralized.

Since the bandwidth available in our part of the world is not high we might get in trouble in making the web crawler work efficiently and in real time.

The size of the project depends on the selection of networking language, parsing algorithms and many other factors so it can’t be judged to a degree of perfection.

Quality risks are involved and there are chances that the most efficient implementation is not present in some modules.

 Defuse of Risks

A strict plan of actions will be prepared and the time plan will contain margin for late work so that the end result will be prepared in time.

In the decentralized environment some control will be kept to ensure quality and meeting time constraints.

The networking language, Internet protocols and tools will be selected so that the project becomes feasible in the available time.

The completion quality and working of the project will be given the most importance and not any problems regarding launching web robot or availability of bandwidth

More and more quality standards will be followed in both documentation and implementation of the project so that no quality concerns arise in the end.

 

Hardware and Software Requirements

Server

            Server will run on a Linux or Windows NT machine with a powerful modem and a leased Internet connection. The server will be connected to the net. The server must be run on a machine capable of taking the load of multiple users and must have enough bandwidth to cater for requests of online users.

 Client

            The client will be any user on the Windows platform. The machine must have a modem and a secure Internet connection. The machine must be smart enough to send requests and receive responses at desirable speed.
