1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 METHODOLOGY
The Rational Unified Process brings together elements from all of the generic process models,
supports iteration and illustrates good practice in specification and design. The RUP is normally
described from three perspectives:
A dynamic perspective that shows the phases of the model over time.
A static perspective that shows the process activities that are enacted.
A practice perspective that suggests good practices to be used during the process.
FIG 1.1 PHASES OF RUP
Page 3

CYBER HYBRID
VERSION 1.0
31 JAN 2013
The different phases in RUP are

Inception
The goal of the inception phase is to establish a business case for the system. Identifying all
external entities that will interact with the system and defining these interaction. This
information is used to assess the contribution of system to business.
Elaboration
The goals of the elaboration phase are to develop an understanding of the problem domain,
establish an architectural framework, develop project plan and identify key project risks.
Construction
This phase is concerned with system design, programming and testing. Parts of the system are
developed in parallel and integrated during this phase.
Transition
This is the final phase of RUP and is concerned with moving the system from the development
community to the user community and making it work in real environment.
1.2 PURPOSE
VLE (Virtual Learning Environment) aims to promote a greater count of students to splurge into
the field of Education. It integrates the benefits of a physical classroom with the convenience of
a no-physical-bar virtual learning environment, minus the commuting hazards and expenses. It
will usher in the immense flexibility and sophistication in the existing learning platform
structures, with the perfect blend of synchronous and asynchronous interaction. It provides a
means of collaborative learning for the students.

1.6 TOOLS USED

Application architecture JAVA, J2EE
JAVA
Java is an object-oriented programming language developed by Sun Microsystems a company
best known for its high end UNIX workstations. Java language was designed to be small, simple,
and portable across platforms, operating systems, both at the source and at the binary level,
which means that Java programs (applet and application) can run on any machine that has the
Java virtual machine (JVM) installed.
J2EE
Java Platform, Enterprise Edition or Java EE is a widely used platform for server programming
in the Java programming language. The Java platform (Enterprise Edition) differs from the Java
Standard Edition Platform (Java SE) in that it adds libraries which provide functionality to
deploy fault-tolerant, distributed, multi-tier Java software, based largely on modular components
running on an application server.
Web server WASCE
WebSphere Application Server Community Edition (from now on WASCE) is a free, certified
Java EE 5 server for building and managing Java applications. It is IBM's supported distribution
of Apache Geronimo that uses Tomcat for servlet container and Axis 2 for web services. Over 15
WASCE developers are committers in the Apache Geronimo project.
Development tool RAD
IBM Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software (RAD) is an integrated

development environment (IDE), made by IBM's Rational Software division, for visually

designing, constructing, testing, and deploying Web services, portals, and Java (J2EE)
applications.
Database platform DB2
DB2 Database is the database management system that delivers a flexible and cost effective
database platform to build robust on demand business applications and supports the J2EE and
web services standards.
Design tool Rational Software Architect
IBM Rational Software Architect, (RSA) made by IBM's Rational Software division, , is a
modeling and development environment that uses the Unified Modeling Language (UML) for
designing architecture for C++ and Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) applications and web
services.
Rational
Software
Architect
is
built
on
the
Eclipse open-source software
framework and includes capabilities focused on architectural code analysis, C++, and modeldriven development (MDD) with the UML for creating applications and web services.
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Express
Uses proven Tivoli Storage Manager Technology to back up and recover vital data. It is
easily installed, competitively priced, and made to deliver reliable, robust backup and recovery
services integrates as you grow.
Can be installed, configured and conducting its first full backup in less than 30 minutes
Backs up directly to disk using the familiar "son-father-grandfather" hierarchy
Creates off-site backups to tape at times that meet the administrator's schedule
Provides e-mail reminders and on-screen guidance about necessary management tasks
without the need for a dedicated storage administrator
Has agents that support backup for SQL and Microsoft Exchange applications, so you
ensure your environment is protected

Operating systems supported: Windows
IBM Rational Unified Process
Proven best practices for software and systems delivery and implementation and effective
project management
IBM Rational Unified Process, RUP, is a comprehensive process framework that

provides industry-tested practices for software and systems delivery and implementation
and effective project management. It is one of many processes contained within the
Rational Process Library which offers best practices guidance suited to your particular
development or project need.
The RUP process framework provides:
Processes based on the best practices adopted in thousands of projects worldwide. Avoid
inventing everything from scratch and reuse processes that have been successful for other
organizations.
Capability patterns that allow project managers to rapidly add or remove reusable chunks
of processes addressing common problems. Since no two projects are alike, project
managers can rapidly modify the process to address specific project needs.
Out-of-the-box delivery processes to provide the project manager with a quick starting
point for planning and initiating a project. A delivery process will provide an initial
project template, identify what type milestones to have in the project, what work products
to deliver by each milestone, and what resources are needed for each phase.
SOA & Web Services

Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is an IT architectural style that supports the transformation
of your business into a set of linked services, or repeatable business tasks that can be accessed
when needed over a network. This may be a local network, it may be the Internet, or it may be

geographically and technologically diverse, combining services in New York, London, and Hong
Kong as though they were all installed on your local desktop. These services can coalesce to
accomplish a specific business task, enabling your business to quickly adapt to changing
conditions and requirements.
Web 2.0
Web 2.0 is a term often applied to a perceived ongoing transition of the World Wide Web from a
collection of websites to a full-fledged computing platform serving web applications to end
users.,
