Design Principles

Modular

Scalable

Interop

promotes separation of concerns through allowing a high degree of separation between the system’s modules

SIMS

Modularity

promotes code re-use and flexibility

allows different team members to independently develop each of the individual system’s modules

allows parts of the application to separately evolve

Building an interoperable system in today's evolved technologies and platforms is not an easy task

SIMS

Interoperability

Interoperable systems has more acceptance by organizations than platform dependant ones

Interoperable system can be easily adapted to interoperate with existing systems and get along with the new ones

Tightly coupled software system are headache for most organizations

Scalable system is one that can continue to function properly when it or it’s context increased in size or volume

SIMS

Scalability

As well as a large scale Intranet or Internet networks

SIMS can run effectively for a Mini-Market with single PC

as well as a Hyper-Market or Mega Store with hundreds of Mobile Clients and POSs

SIMS components can connect using cheap and easy to install LAN network

Security

SIMS

Security is Fundamental

Malicious, hackers, Identify FraudestersCosts organizations million

of dollars every year

The challenge of using public networks

Why it has such importance?

Fundamental feature for any software today

SIMS

Security in SIMS

Depends on 4 main security

services

Integrity

Confidentiality

User Authentication / Authorization

Machine Authentication

Message security uses the WS-Security specification to secure messages.

Message Level Security

SIMS

Security Implementation

Applying the security directly to the message by modifying its content

SIMS service depends on SOAP messages to implement the mentioned security services

Why Report not normal bill?

Why Data Source not Database?

HTML Help As user may face difficulties while using the system, we had the idea of creating a help file using HTML Help Workshop to create (.chm) file as shown in figure.

All we have done is that we created HTML pages then add them to one “chm” file.

A lot of users find it interesting to learn something step by step. SIMS
