1. Introduction 1.1 Purpose Forging ahead to next generation of messaging and value added services MyDiary will exploit the internet blog concept to offer mobile subscribers with variety of new messaging and community based services. The SRS corresponds to the version 1.0; this fully describes the functional, non functional, external interface requirements of the product. 1.2 Document Conventions The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC2119. These key words mean the same thing whether capitalized or not. An implementation is not compliant if it fails to satisfy one or more of the MUST or MUST NOT requirements for the product. An implementation that satisfies all the MUST, MUST NOT, SHOULD and SHOULD NOT requirements for the product is said to be "unconditionally compliant"; one that satisfies all the MUST and MUST NOT requirements but not all the SHOULD or SHOULD NOT requirements for the product is said to be "conditionally compliant". - 1 -

1.3 Intended Audience and Reading Suggestions This SRS is intended for the below mentioned audiences. The developers The testers The project manager The client (undisclosed network operator). The rest of the SRS contains overall system description, system features, external interface requirements, non functional requirements and other requirements. The above mentioned main sections will be addressed under different appropriate sub sections. Top down approach is recommended for each audience for reading. 1.4 Project Scope MyDiary is the realization of bringing the power of blogging to the mobile community in Sri Lanka. The network operator (the client) will be able to expand their horizons on their well established user community paving way for Revenue Benefits Strategic Benefits Marketing Benefits among its competitors since the idea is novel and very likely to be grabbed by the community with spread arms. The end users (mobile community) will have the opportunity to build their own communities, create and post their own content to their own individual websites, all using their mobile phones. It is the coolest way to share pictures, text, audio and even video from a mobile phone and to let family and friends know what is happening. - 2 -

5. Interface Requirements 5.1 User Interfaces There will be mainly two interfaces, a web interface and a WAP interface. Web interface will provide necessary UIs for different user functionalities such as log in, adding photos, rating photos and etc. User interfaces will be designed in such a way that they can be customized according to the user preferences. Users having administrative privileges will get additional set of UIs for administrative functionalities. WAP interface will be much constrained than the web interface. WAP interface will be customized to suit different mobile devices. 5.2 Hardware Interfaces System will consist of mainly two major components, a back-end platform and a front-end application. Customized applications can be built on top of the backend platform to cater different user requirements. Back-end platform will be deployed in one of the network operator s servers. Front-end application may also be deployed in the same server or another remote server. Users will be able access the front-end application through web using desktop machines and through WAP using mobiles, PDAs or any other WAP enabled device. Not only that, any mobile device having the STK application capabilities should be able to use the product. 5.3 Software Interfaces For database connectivity, MySQL 5.x software interface will be used and standard SQL statements will be used when communicating with MySQL. - 73 -

In the system development some of the utility components developed/used by the network operator will be used. J2SDK 1.5 native libraries will be used during development. 5.4 Communications Interfaces These protocols will be used for communication between: Source Destination Protocol Mobile Application SMS, MMS, IVR Application Mobile WAP Application Desktop PC HTTP - 74 -

6. Other Nonfunctional Requirements 6.1 Performance Requirements When the load on the backend is at its peak, system should be able to balance its load by utilizing all the resources in an optimal way so that there s no noticeable delay. 6.2 Safety Requirements The information uploaded into active (non dormant) user accounts SHOULD not be lost hence periodical archiving SHOULD be carried out. The information of the deleted profiles SHOULD not be kept in the system. 6.3 Security Requirements System SHOULD make sure that privacy of the sensitive information is kept throughout and not disclosed to any unwanted party. System SHOULD only allow users with necessary privileges to alter and manipulate data. 6.4 Software Quality Attributes The system SHOULD be available even when the load exceeds the upper limitations hence the system SHOULD NOT crash even during the over stressed situations. The system SHOULD be easy to use to a moderate person who has some experience of using web browsing or WAP browsing. The system SHOULD have Model View Controller architecture so that the presentation layer is not dependant upon the data layer. - 75 -

7. Other Requirements The product SHOULD be culture independent and SHOULD support Sinhala and Tamil languages in the future. The product MUST agree to any terms or conditions posted by a third party vendor on using their existing products in the applications. New moblog applications similar to MyDiary MUST be able to developed and deployed on the built framework with out trouble. System SHOULD be built in such a way that the framework will not have any coupling with the applications built upon it. So that the framework can be used extensively to built new various applications. - 76 -
