 Project 1 Introduction – the SeaPort Project series For this set of projects for the course, we wish to simulate some of the aspects of a number of Sea Ports. Here are the classes and their instance variables we wish to define:  SeaPortProgram extends JFrame o variables used by the GUI interface o world: World  Thing implement Comparable  o index: int o name: String o parent: int  World extends Thing o ports: ArrayList  o time: PortTime  SeaPort extends Thing o docks: ArrayList  o que: ArrayList  // the list of ships waiting to dock o ships: ArrayList  // a list of all the ships at this port o persons: ArrayList  // people with skills at this port  Dock extends Thing o ship: Ship  Ship extends Thing o arrivalTime, dockTime: PortTime o draft, length, weight, width: double o jobs: ArrayList   PassengerShip extends Ship o numberOfOccupiedRooms: int o numberOfPassengers: int o numberOfRooms: int  CargoShip extends Ship o cargoValue: double o cargoVolume: double o cargoWeight: double  Person extends Thing o skill: String  Job extends Thing – optional till Projects 3 and 4 o duration: double o requirements: ArrayList  // should be some of the skills of the persons  PortTime o time: int Eventually, in Projects 3 and 4, you will be asked to show the progress of the jobs using JProgressBar’s. 2 Here’s a very quick overview of all projects: 1. Read a data file, create the internal data structure, create a GUI to display the structure, and let the user search the structure. 2. Sort the structure, use hash maps to create the structure more efficiently. 3. Create a thread for each job, cannot run until a ship has a dock, create a GUI to show the progress of each job. 4. Simulate competing for resources (persons with particular skills) for each job. Project 1 General Objectives Project 1 – classes, text data file, GUI, searching  Define and implement appropriate classes, including: o instance and class variables, o constructors, o toString methods, and o other appropriate methods.  Read data from a text file: o specified at run time,  JFileChooser jfc = new JFileChooser (“.”); // start at dot, the current directory o using that data to create instances of the classes, o creating a multi-tree (class instances related in hierarchical, has-some, relationships), and o organizing those instances in existing JDK structures which can be sorted, such as ArrayList’s.  Create a simple GUI: o presenting the data in the structures with with some buttons and o text fields supporting SEARCHING on the various fields of each class. Documentation Requirements: You should start working on a documentation file before you do anything else with these projects, and fill in items as you go along. Leaving the documentation until the project is finished is not a good idea for any number of reasons. The documentation should include the following (graded) elements:  Cover page (including name, date, project, your class information)  Design o including a UML class diagram o classes, variables and methods: what they mean and why they are there o tied to the requirements of the project  User’s Guide o how would a user start and run your project o any special features 3 o effective screen shots are welcome, but don’t overdo this  Test Plan o do this BEFORE you code anything o what do you EXPECT the project to do o justification for various data files, for example  Lessons Learned o express yourself here o a way to keep good memories of successes after hard work Project 1 Specific Goals: 1. Create a GUI 2. Let the user select a data file, using JFileChooser 3. Read the data file, creating the specified internal data structure (see the Introduction for the classes and variables of the structure). 4. Display the internal data structure in a nice format in the GUI 1. use JScrollPane and JTextArea 5. Display the results of a Search specified by the user 1. JTextField to specify the search target 2. Searching targets: name, index, skill would be a minimum you are encouraged to provide other options 3. Note that a search may return more than one item 4. DO NOT create new data structures (beyond the specified interna 4 // dock name index parent(port) // dock    dock Pier_5 20005 10001 30005 // ship name index parent(dock/port) weight length width draft // ship         ship Reason 40003 10000 165.91 447.15 85.83 27.07 // cship name index parent(dock/port) weight length width draft cargoWeight cargoVolume cargoValue // cship            cship Suites 40003 10000 165.91 447.15 85.83 27.07 125.09 176.80 857.43 // pship name index parent(dock/port) weight length width draft numPassengers numRooms numOccupied // pship            pship “ZZZ_Hysterics” 30002 20002 103.71 327.92 56.43 30.23 3212 917 917 // person name index parent skill // person      person Alberto 50013 10001 cleaner // job name index parent duration [skill]* (zero or more, matches skill in person, may repeat) // job     []* (ie, zero or more)  job Job_10_94_27 60020 30007 77.78 carpenter cleaner clerk You may assume that the data file is correctly formatted and that the parent links exist and are encountered in the data file as item indices before they are referenced as parent links. There is a Java program (CreateSeaPortDataFile.java) provided with this package that will generate data files with various characteristics with the correct format. You should be using the program to generate your own data files to test various aspects of your project programs.

Each class should have an appropriate toString method. Here is an example of two such methods:  In SeaPort – showing all the data structures: public String toString () {  String st = “\n\nSeaPort: ” + super.toString();  for (Dock md: docks) st += “\n” + md;  st += “\n\n — List of all ships in que:”;  for (Ship ms: que ) st += “\n > ” + ms;  st += “\n\n — List of all ships:”;  for (Ship ms: ships) st += “\n > ” + ms;  st += “\n\n — List of all persons:”;  for (Person mp: persons) st += “\n > ” + mp; 7  return st;  } // end method toString  In PassengerShip, using parent toString effectively:  public String toString () {  String st = “Passenger ship: ” + super.toString();  if (jobs.size() == 0)  return st;  for (Job mj: jobs) st += “\n – ” + mj;  return st;  } // end method toString Each class should have an appropriate Scanner constructor, allowing the class to take advantage of super constructors, and any particular constructor focusing only on the addition elements of interest to that particular class. As an example, here’s one way to implement the PassengerShip constructor:  PassengerShip Scanner constructor, the earlier fields are handled by Thing (fields: name, index, parent) and Ship (fields: weight, length, width, draft) constructors.  public PassengerShip (Scanner sc) {  super (sc);  if (sc.hasNextInt()) numberOfPassengers = sc.nextInt();  if (sc.hasNextInt()) numberOfRooms = sc.nextInt();  if (sc.hasNextInt()) numberOfOccupiedRooms = sc.nextInt();  } // end end Scanner constructor In the World class, we want to read the text file line by line. Here are some useful methods types and code fragments that you should find helpful:  Handling a line from the file:  void process (String st) {  // System.out.println (“Processing >” + st + “<“);  Scanner sc = new Scanner (st);  if (!sc.hasNext())  return;  switch (sc.next()) {  case “port” : addPort (sc);  break;  Finding a ship by index – finding the parent of a job, for example:  Ship getShipByIndex (int x) {  for (SeaPort msp: ports)  for (Ship ms: msp.ships)  if (ms.index == x)  return ms;  return null;  } // end getDockByIndex  Linking a ship to its parent:  void assignShip (Ship ms) {  Dock md = getDockByIndex (ms.parent);  if (md == null) { 8  getSeaPortByIndex (ms.parent).ships.add (ms);  getSeaPortByIndex (ms.parent).que.add (ms);  return;  }  md.ship = ms;  getSeaPortByIndex (md.parent).ships.add (ms);  } // end method assignShip You will probably find the comments in the following helpful, they are mostly about similar projects and general issues in Java relevant to our programs:  CMSC 335 Information  Cave Strategy – getting started Deliverables: 1. Java source code files 2. Data files used to test your program 3. Configuration files used 4. A well-written document including the following sections: a. Design: including a UML class diagram showing the type of the class relationships b. User’s Guide: description of how to set up and run your application c. Test Plan: sample input and expected results, and including test data and results, with screen snapshots of some of your test cases d. Optionally, Comments: design strengths and limitations, and suggestions for future improvement and alternative approaches e. Lessons Learned f. Use one of the following formats: MS Word docx or PDF. Your project is due by midnight, EST, on the day of the date posted in the class schedule. We do not recommend staying up all night working on your project – it is so very easy to really mess up a project at the last minute by working when one was overly tired. Your instructor’s policy on late projects applies to this project. Submitted projects that show evidence of plagiarism will be handled in accordance with UMUC Policy 150.25 — Academic Dishonesty and Plagiarism. Format: The documentation describing and reflecting on your design and approach should be written using Microsoft Word or PDF, and should be of reasonable length. The font size should be 12 point. The page margins should be one inch. The paragraphs should be double spaced. All figures, tables, equations, and references should be properly labeled and formatted using APA style. 9 Coding Hints:  Code format: (See Google Java Style guide for specifics (https://google.github.io/styleguide/javaguide.html)) o header comment block, including the following information in each source code file: o file name o date o author o purpose o appropriate comments within the code o appropriate variable and function names o correct indentation  Errors: o code submitted should have no compilation or run-time errors  Warnings: o Your program should have no warnings o Use the following compiler flag to show all warnings: javac -Xlint *.java o More about setting up IDE’s to show warnings o Generics – your code should use generic declarations appropriately, and to eliminate all warnings  Elegance: o just the right amount of code o effective use of existing classes in the JDK o effective use of the class hierarchy, including features related to polymorphism.  GUI notes: o GUI should resize nicely o DO NOT use the GUI editor/generators in an IDE (integrated development environment, such as Netbeans and Eclipse) o Do use JPanel, JFrame, JTextArea, JTextField, JButton, JLabel, JScrollPane  panels on panels gives even more control of the display during resizing  JTable and/or JTree for Projects 2, 3 and 4  Font using the following gives a nicer display for this program, setting for the JTextArea jta:  jta.setFont (new java.awt.Font (“Monospaced”, 0, 12)); o GridLayout and BorderLayout – FlowLayout rarely resizes nicely  GridBagLayout for extreme control over the displays  you may wish to explore other layout managers o ActionListener, ActionEvent – responding to JButton events  Starting with JDK 8, lambda expression make defining listeners MUCH simpler. See the example below, with jbr (read), jbd (display) and jbs (search) three different JButtons. jcb is a JComboBox  and jtf is a JTextField.  jbr.addActionListener (e -> readFile());  jbd.addActionListener (e -> displayCave ());  jbs.addActionListener (e -> search ((String)(jcb.getSelectedItem()), jtf.getText())); 10 o JFileChooser – select data file at run time o JSplitPane – optional, but gives user even more control over display panels Grading Rubric: Attribute Meets Does not meet Design 20 points Contains just the right amount of code.

Scenario

When promoted to the new vice president of BOLD Flash’s Mobile Division, specializing in high-tech storage components for electronic devices, Roger Cahill understood very clearly that his top priority was to get the struggling division back on track. As he started in on the job, he soon realized that problems with technical communications were a major cause of the division’s other problems. Rapid sales growth, reorganization of the division itself, the vast number of products, and the fast pace of new product development had all increased the challenges of effective communication between division teams and with suppliers, partners, and customers.

As the just-hired director of technical communications for the Mobile Division, you must analyze the current state of technical communications within the company. In your first days on the job, you have learned that there are no formatting requirements or templates for internal product documentation or customer materials, that individual techs often develop such materials without any structure or audience, and that the Technical Support team has received several hundred complaints about the complexity and, at times, inaccuracy of the instructions that accompany products.

What is more, various departments within the division have cited difficulties in understanding the products and services BOLD Flash’s Mobile Division has to offer because of the extreme technical nature of the various products. As one example, a project was conducted earlier in the year to prepare a response to an RFP (Request for Proposal) from the U.S. Navy for secure disk drives. Such contract responses require clear communication of technical aspects in a business context, yet upper management has had difficulty navigating the design specification documents and technical blueprints that the R&D group has prepared. Cahill has tasked you with developing training on technical communication for the division’s management team and with creating a cohesive plan for developing technical documents and communications that will benefit the company in the long run.

Prompt

Based on the case study (BOLD Flash: Cross-Functional Challenges in the Mobile Division), the three artifact documents (internal business processes, product documentation, or technical service communication), and the above scenario, you must construct a plan of action for tackling the various areas of technical communications needs. You will also need to pick an area of focus (the internal business processes, product documentation, or technical service communication) to begin adapting the technical communications that already exist and are not meeting audience needs. To this end, you will produce a critique of an existing technical communication, including your methods for adapting the communication and your reasoning for the change. This will act as the basis for the technical communication training that you will develop for BOLD Flash’s Mobile Division management team. The most important piece, perhaps, is the inclusion of a framework and guidelines for creating effective technical communication.

ASSIGNMENT (Milestone Four): Communication Framework and Training Plan

In Module Nine, you will submit a communication framework and training plan (which includes any optional training videos submitted in Milestone Three). Your final submission should be a complete, polished artifact containing all the critical elements of the final product. It should reflect the incorporation of feedback gained throughout the course. 

Submit your communication framework and training plan, in which you:

Apply your instructor’s critiques of Milestones One, Two, and Three to create a professional plan of action for tackling the technical communications needs in your area of focus. This will serve as a framework and guidelines for creating effective technical communication and will act as the basis for the technical communication training that you will develop for the BOLD Flash management team. It will include a critique of an existing technical communication practice in your area of focus, your methods for adapting the communication practice, and your reasoning for the change.

Additionally, in your summary, discuss the adaptation of your plan of action to the two areas of focus that are not addressed in your plan, and what changes you would make to reach the target audiences in those other two areas of focus.
