SJTU Software Principles Project - XingQiao Event Management Platform

Overview

This repository contains the group project for the "Software Engineering Principles and Practice" course at Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU). The project, titled "XingQiao Event Management Platform", is a comprehensive solution designed to centralize event creation and promotion for students, teachers, and organizations within the campus. It was developed by Vahagn Ghazaryan and Simon Krkyasharyan, employing a wide range of programming languages and tools.

Course Topics Covered

• Software Process
• Software Engineering Models and Methods
• Software Requirements
• Software Architecture Design
• Software Design Patterns
• User Interface Design
• Coding and Version Management
• Software Testing

Project Stages

The project development is organized into three main stages, each represented in its respective folder:

• UIPrototype: Contains the initial user interface prototypes.
• TechPrototype: Technical prototypes showcasing early stage back-end and front-end implementations.
• FinalRelease: The final version of the project, including all functionalities and polished features.

Platform Details

Purpose

Why: The platform addresses the need for a centralized system where students can easily create and promote events on campus.

How: By integrating key event planning tools into one user-friendly platform.

What: A centralized platform where students, teachers, and organizations can create, browse, join, and manage academic and social events.

Use Cases

• User login and account management.
• Browsing and joining events.
• Creating and managing events.
• Cancelling event registration.

Innovations

• Enables students to create their own events.
• Integrated Email System for event notifications.
• Integrated GPT AI system to assist in event management and planning.

Architecture and Key Technologies

• User Interface (Front-end): Implemented using React Native for a web application experience.
