Topic 1: Motorized Self-Moving Pet Provisions Producer
Process Model: Prototyping Model Discussion: The prototyping model perfectly suits this kind of project since the Pet Provisions Provider must first be created and must have a prototype in order to fully understand the problems that may be encountered, and suggestions and realizations of the project. The development period of the Pet Provisions Provider can easily be tracked using the prototyping model in which the project should have a prototype development period aside from the regular documentation and programming of said project. The Pet Provisions Provider prototypes can be renovated, revised, and in each step, become closer to the finalized expected output. This model also allows looping and rollback when there are issues with the project development, thus allowing for flexibility in creating the desired output. If there are any problems that may be encountered during the development period of the prototype Pet Provisions Provider, whether it is animal interaction or human interaction, there can still be rollbacks or changes to suit the desired output.
Topic 2: Digital Camera Surveillance System with Motion Sensor Alarm
Process Model: Transformational Model Discussion: This project is best done with the transformational model due to the allowance of documenting the changes in the system, if there are any changes that have forwarded or set back the development of the Digital Camera system. This kind of model allows for understanding first the specifications that are needed to create the Digital Camera system and the requirements that would make the best of said system, without overusing or underusing resources. After understanding the system requirements and the formal specifications that are needed, the transformation step can be done, in which the system will undergo many changes in order to accommodate the allowance of using SMS messaging, motion, and camera behavior all the while documenting each change and their effects on the system as a whole. This allows for diagnosis for the system until the final test and finally, the delivery of the system.
