Developing a Collaboration Tool Developing a Collaboration Tool For Window s Mobile 6 For Window s Mobile 6

Omega has developed a web-based collaboration tool named TeamDocuments. This system is used for action tracking, information sharing/-collection, meeting minutes, calendar etc. The application is used daily in Omega by all developers, administration personnel, managers etc. TeamDocuments has had an efficient effect on the way we communicate in Omega. Kellogg, Gassco, BP and Statoil have started to use the complete or parts of the system in their projects, e.g. Kårstø. To utilize the potential of the tool even better, there are requests for using it ”as you go” without having access to a laptop. The goal is to have continuous access to TeamDocuments, preferably by using Smartphone as a platform. This assignment will give the developers exciting challenges when it comes to designing the technical solution, the layout and developing a user-friendly system to improve the Human- Computer Interaction.

Background: Appframe Model Background: Appframe Model

Appframe Database

Appframe is built on top of Microsoft SQL Server (2000 or 2005). By utilizing SQL Servers' built-in functionality, Appframe benefits from one of the most comprehensive and reliable database servers available. Even if Appframe is database dependent, Appframe does not limit SQL Server to be the applications' only source of data. Appframe is able to communicate with all systems providing any of today's standard interfaces. By utilizing SQL Server for programming the business logic, Appframe is also able to switch between different types of clients (e.g. MS Access, web Based, Windows, mobile clients) in an efficient way.

Middle-tier

Appframe applications come as both client/server concept and a more multi-layer setup. When used in an-tier scenario, the middle layer is based on the Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) with the .NET framework. These components offers a very flexible feature as they can serve as a true middle layer, a traditional web server

• r content provider to other clients in a primary or supporting role.

Clients

Appframe main clients are MS Access and web browsers. In addition there are Windows (WinForms) clients. Appframe also supports using other clients that are capable to communicate with SQL Server (e.g. MS Excel). Some types of clients are best suited when connected in LAN's with good and reliable connection, while others should be server over the internet at a remote location. Both user requirements and location together with the application functionality should substantiate the choice of client platform.

Security

Appframe defines security to be a two-type issue. One is the permission system in the database and how to control it, the other is how to ensure secure communication between client and server. Appframe builds on the security model of SQL server, but further enhance it to give more control over data permissions given to user and

• groups. Appframe's domain and row-level based security model enables full control, down to individual rows if

desired, over what data the user can view or manipulate. When it comes to the communication part, this can either run unencrypted if this is sufficient in the network environment in question. To secure the communication and the authentication process, Appframe bases the solutions on established standards like https/ssl for http based clients, or tunneled VPN connections based on standards like IPSec and PPTP. An alternative can be to implement an encrypted Citrix solution with secure

• authentication. To find the appropriate security-level, Appframe works with the customer to define the right
• solution. Appframe aims to deliver system solutions that can be implemented regardless of demands.
