As part of our Systems Software module at NTU we were tasked with the creation of a concurrent client-server model as a solution for a problem scenario. We implemented this solution using Java and NetBeans.
A farmer wishes to improve the management of his business through the use of technology. He hires your team to devise a distributed system on a TCP/IP-based network infrastructure composed of the following components, all connected to the network:
- A number of digital weather stations controlled by microcomputers
- A connected weather stations (e.g. temperature, barometric pressure, relative humidity, wind force, etc.) at the user’s request through a GUI;
- A central server machine that provides (also via a GUI):
- Services for new weather stations to connect automatically on powerup and upload its data;
- Services for new workstations to connect on log in (regulated by a user database), and, after successful connection, obtain an up-to-date description of the field and a list of connected weather stations, and download their respective data on request.
You should first clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/Hannah-Ashna/Systems-Software.git
Our project makes use of an external library to draw our charts. Hence, you'll need to setup XCharts using the jar file available in this repository.
Once everything is setup within your IDE (We've used NetBeans), you'll need to run Server.java followed by as many instances of the WeatherStations.java and User.java.
