2. PROFILE OF THE PROBLEM

Now-a-days in the modern era, people are preferring most of the work online. They
choose to do E-shopping, internet banking, Online billing, Job portals and many things
like this. The list is endless. Therefore people would like to access online ways to provide
news more than the offline ways. Also the User-friendly platform have to be created.
Moreover it is required to avoid unnecessary load on server as only the legitimate user
will register.

3. EXISTING SYSTEM

3.1 INTRODUCTION
Today the world totally relay upon the electronic media to its every day adventure. People have
no time to be updated through newspaper or watching or listening the news in the television or
radios. People today need to be updated on daily basis in this competitive world. Most of the
people get the information about the world around through the internet which is fast, accessible,
and reliable.
The WWW (World Wide Web) is huge, widely distributed, global information service
centre for Information services: news, advertisements, consumer information, financial
management, education, government, e-commerce etc, hyper-link information, access and usage
information. To be able to get everything well managed and updated every second under one roof
is areal challenge.
A real expert system is needed with much simpler and less sophisticatedmanner.24
Hours News Portal is a service introduced to meet the above requirement and to make the
people updated about the news ,views ,reviews, breaking news and latest headlines in different
fields also the new inventions around the world. This news portal is targeted towards the growing
news agencies and the other organizations which are related to the field of media.

3.2 EXSISTING SOFTWARE

Existing software refers to the system that is being followed till now. Presently all the
news aggregators provide the timely updates for all the categories such as politics,
business, sports etc. Thus a user will have to spent more time in browsing to obtain
the updates for a desired category. This may lead to wastage of time if the page
containing the required data is unknown to the user. The main disadvantage is that
their will be lot of difficulties for the user to find the specified news updates for
his/her choice of category.
Draw backs of existing software: It is difficult for user to find required news
updates.And also it is Time consuming.

4. PROPOSED PLAN

The aim of proposed system is to develop a system of improved facilities. The proposed system
can overcome all the limitations of the existing system. The system reduces time wastage. The
existing system has several disadvantages and many difficulties to work efficiently. The
proposed system tries to eliminate or reduce these difficulties up to some extent. The proposed
system will help the user to consume less time to obtain the required information. The system
requires very low system resources and the system will work only in internet connection.

Advantages of Proposed System

NEW AGGREGATOR allows the key elements of websites, such as headlines, to be

transmitted in unembellished form.

It helps to share content between websites.

It enables information from scores of websites to be viewed simultaneously., all on

one page, consequently, numerous sites can be scrutinized in seconds rather than
having to be tediously downloaded independently.

It has the ability to keep track of changes on the web.

SCOPE

The present project has been developed to meet the aspirations indicated in the modern age. An
attempt has been made through this project to do all work ease & fast. It provide current add,
Update, Move Next, Move Previous, Move Last, Find & Delete all facilities to accomplish the
desired objectives. The facility Include in this project and the suggested activities have been
organized to impart knowledge & develop skill & attitude in the College official works.

PROBLEM ANALYSIS:.

6.1 PRODUCT DEFINATION:

A News portal is most often one specially-designed Web page at a website which brings
information together from diverse sources in a uniform way. Usually, each information
source gets its dedicated area on the page for displaying information (a portlet); often, the
user can configure which ones to display. Variants of portals include Mashup (web
application hybrid) and intranet "dashboards" for executives and managers. The extent to
which content is displayed in a "uniform way" may be more or less depending on the
intended user and the intended purpose as well as the diversity of the content. Very often
design emphasis is on a certain "metaphor" for configuring and customizing the
presentation of the content and the chosen implementation framework and/or code
libraries. In addition, the role of the user in an organization may determine which content
can be added to the portal or deleted from the portal configuration.

6.2 FEASIBILITY STUDY

Feasibility study is the first phase in the life cycle of a project. Feasibility study is done in order
to determine whether the project under consideration is feasible or not that is technically,
economically and operationally. If the result of the Feasibility study is satisfactory, only then the
7

project is approved otherwise not. If the feasibility study is to serve as decision document, it
answer three key question:
1. Is there a new and a better way to do the job that it will benefits the user?
2. What is the costs ?
Feasibility study is broadly divided into three parts: It basically defines the extent to which
project will be successfully completed.

TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY

Can the work for the project be done with current equipment, existing software, technology and
available personnel? If new technology is required, what is the likelihood that it can be
developed?

ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY
o

Economic feasibility is a measure of cost effectiveness of project. An economically

feasible solution has sufficient benefits in creating the system and makes the cost
acceptable.

BEHAVIORAL FEASIBILITY
o

It is a measure of how well the users will work with the product we are developing. Most
of the users are using windows operating system and .net framework today and our
product is simple so our users will fell right at home and our product can be operated
easily. Thus our product is surely going to be operationally feasible.

6.3 PROJECT PLAN

A role based system and can be managed like a real news paper.

To maintain a standard and structured website.

To make a website that is updated 24 hours.

To enhance the quality of news to the users.

To give information about the different firm and companies of the country which are
registered using our directory.

To make a search engine for the directory and articles.

To allow users to make comments about the news topics.

To make a voting poll on the present issues.

SOFTWARE REQUIREMENT ANALYSIS:

7.1 INTRODUCTION: System design is a solution, a HOWTO approach to

the creation of a new system. It translates system requirements into ways by
which they can be made operational. It is a translational from a user
oriented document to a document oriented programmers. For that, it
provides the understanding and procedural details neces s ary for the
impl ement ation . The system thus made should be reliable, durable and
above all should have least possible maintenance costs. It should overcome
all the drawbacks of the Old existing system and most important of all meet
the user requirements.

7.2 GENERAL DISCRIPTION

Operating System used is WINDOWS 2000/2003/XP/WINDOWS 7/WINDOWS 8
Tools used are Front end: Java Servlets and JSP

DIAGRAMS

8.1 DATA FLOW DIAGRAMS

Data flow oriented techniques advocate that the major data items handled by a system must be first
identified and then the processing required on these data items to produce the desired outputs should be
determined. The DFD (also called as bubble chart) is a simple graphical formalism that can be used to
represent a system in terms of input data to the system, various processing carried out on these data, and
the output generated by the system.:

Symbols used in DFD

A circle represents a process.

A rectangle represents external entity

A square defines a source or destination of the system data.

12

An arrow identifies dataflow.

Double line with one end closed indicates data store

Tes t i n g i s t h e m a j o r c o n t r o l m e a s u r e u s e d d u r i n g s o f t w a r e d e v e l o p m e n t .
I t s b a s i c function is to detect errors in the software. During requirement analysis
and design, the output is a document that is usually textual and no executable.
After the coding phase computer programs are available that can be executed for
testing ,purpose. This implies that testing not only, has to uncover errors
introduced during coding, but also errors introduced during previous years So after
testing the outputs of my project are as follows:

FUTURE RECOMMENDATIONS:

News Feeds is a useful website for all kind of peoples, for finding updated news for their
specified and desired topics. It will bring new dimensions on news searching. It will be very
useful for studios pupils as well as new readers. It allows the key elements of websites, such as
headlines, to be transmitted in unembellished form and helps to share content between websites.
It enables information from scores of websites to be viewed simultaneously., all on one page,
consequently, numerous sites can be scrutinized in seconds rather than having to be tediously
downloaded independently. It has the ability to keep track of changes on the web.
