Welcome to all the JKC Students and welcome to the domain of your projects. Every student is excited to test their skills on a practical and useful problem in the real world context. With an intention to support your enthusiasm, IEG and IBM provide you an opportunity to work on a real world problem using state of the art technology.

To begin with, you are going to enter into the domain of e-Governance. e-Governance is defined as transformation of the Governance through the medium of Information Technology. The projects constitute a part of a comprehensive plan of transforming the Governance in Andhra Pradesh.

In Andhra Pradesh, the phenomenon of e-Governance entered into the phase of 2nd generation. The 1st generation e-Governance initiatives suffer from lack of totality in conceptualization, interoperability and standardization. It implies that the applications hitherto were developed in silos and they would not talk to each other. The 2nd generation aims at providing interoperability by incorporating the standards at various levels.

The Government of Andhra Pradesh extends its Governance through more than 250 departments to execute its policies. All the activities of the Departments have been converted into simple citizen services. If the transportation department issues a driving license to an individual it amounts to one service.

The conceptualization and methodology of 2nd generation principles have been experimented for 20 services in the department of Intermediate education. 222 services have been identified from 19 more Government Departments which are of Citizen Centric nature.

You will have an experience of undergoing the entire life cycle of software development by employing the state of the art concepts and paradigms like Enterprise Architecture, Service Oriented Architecture, Web services and ESB. Further the students will also be exposed to the concepts of interoperability, standards, Service Component Architecture, SDOs on a plausible SaaS (Software as a Service) platform.

This website is launched to help the students, departmental officials and technologists to come together and to act as a friend, philosopher, guide. This site is going to be your operational domain for next two months. The site provides you the know-how and self learning information about how you will be initiated to the projects and how you are going to realize the projects. This site provides the navigation facilitation to enable you to complete the projects with comfortable ease.

JKC students have to choose a Service of a Department and work with Representative / CIO of Department to do the Requirement Analysis, has to come up with User Requirement Documents like SRS.

Each team will constitute 3 to 5 students and includes a Faculty Guide. The students and faculty members will go through a 5 day hands-on training by IBM on development of web-services using SOA, utilizing IBM Tools in the month of January (tentatively in 3rd or 4th week).

Post the Workshop the teams will start working on services, all the learning resources will be provided to the students and teams are supported by the e-Mentors for Technical Problems and Departmental Representative / CIOs for Business Requirements.

Project Highlights:

• e-Governance problem
• State of the art technologies like SOA and Web-Services
• Workshops on Tools and Technologies of IBM – Eclipse (J2EE), Rational Software Architect (OOAD), ESB and many more
• In depth Software Engineering Practice of Software Engineering Institute
• Robust e-Mentoring network from IBM Software Group using OOAD tools
• e-Learning Support for Project Development
• Certificate from IBM & IEG
• A free software DVD for each team with Eclipse, Web Sphere, DB 2 and Rational Software Architect 

Who can do this project?

Students of Final year JKC from the streams of Computer Science, Information Technology and MCA
Students from other branches are allowed if they certify themselves with good understanding of Java and software engineering concepts.
A team of 3 – 5 can have maximum of one non CSE or IT or MCA student.

Road Map:

Step 1: Students are supposed to give the willingness and form teams
Step 2: Identification of Faculty / Mentor for Team
Step 3: Attending the Workshop
Step 4: Identifying the Service to work on
Step 5: Basic Documentation including the Development of SRS
Step 6: Getting acceptance from Departmental Representative
Step 7: Development of Service
Step 8: Testing
Step 9: Deployment of service
Step 10: Acceptance of Project from Departmental Representative
Step 11: Celebration of success
Step 12: Certificate of work from IEG & IBM.

With best compliments from,
