1.1. Problem Statement
The general problems to be solved by the Calendar Tool are the following:
-
to provide a reliable and easy to use tool that manages an individual's
calendar, in a manner comparable to non-electronic media such as day planners
and date books
-
to provide a secure group environment that manages a collection of individual
calendars for the purposes of group scheduling and information sharing
While these problems have been solved by a number of commercially available and
public domain products, the Calendar Tool provides a solution with certain
functional improvements over existing tools. In addition, the development of
the Calendar Tool focuses on two other specific problems not addressed in
commercial tools:
-
to provide a pedagogical example for use in the instruction of software
engineering, including an example of the practical application of formal
methods
-
to provide fully documented public domain source code for use by others
