Server-1 (Honors Evaluation Server)

The Server-1 component of the Honors Enrolment Pre-assessment System (HEPaS) is responsible for handling client requests, processing data, and evaluating the eligibility of users for Honors studies. It is a crucial part of the three-tier distributed system, facilitating communication between the client application and the database server (server-2).

Features:

• Authentication: Authenticates users and verifies their identity before processing requests.

• Data Processing: Receives user input from the client application, and performs necessary calculations such as averaging unit scores, selecting best scores, and evaluating eligibility based on predefined criteria.

• Evaluation Criteria: Implements the evaluation criteria specified in the project requirements to determine if a user qualifies for Honors studies.

• Communication: Communicates with the client application using Remote Method Invocation (RMI) or Remote Procedure Call (RPC) to exchange data and assessment results.

Components:

• Remote Interface: Defines methods for client-server communication, including authentication, data processing, and evaluation.

• Server Implementation: Implements the remote interface, providing concrete implementations for handling client requests and evaluating eligibility.

• Error Handling: Includes mechanisms for error handling and exception management to ensure robustness and reliability.

Extensions for Phase 2:

• Integration with Server-2: Extends functionality to communicate with the database server (server-2) to access OUST students' course learning records for assessment.

• Data Validation: Implements additional data validation to ensure the integrity and consistency of input data before processing.

Testing:

• Unit Testing: Includes unit tests to verify the functionality of individual components and ensure proper integration.

• Integration Testing: Conducts integration testing to validate the interaction between the client application, server-1, and server-2.

Technologies:

• Programming Language: Implemented in JAVA.
• Communication Protocol: Utilizes for client-server communication.
• Frameworks/Libraries: for enhanced functionality.
