Distributed Real Time PCM System, UML Design and Development with Embedded Programming

This manuscript presents research conducted towards the proposition, design and implementation of an intranet hardware control and data management system. Solving the problem of automatically extracting print based information from each user system of a workgroup and managing that in an enterprise database management system, a new approach i.e. PCM System is proposed in this manuscript. PCM System is a platform independent distributed real time software application. It uses the concepts of system and embedded programming and implements a thread that provides a dynamic print look up service. The successfully achieved goal of this research was limited up to the retrieval of deployed plotter and printer’s information from user system. Furthermore at user given print request, system snatches, transfers and saves processed information in the database with the help of an intermediate server system. Going into the details of the newly proposed approach, this manuscript portrays the network structure, provides some UML descriptions of implemented designs (including use case, data flow, flow chart, system sequence, class and component diagrams) and presents a graphical user interface of the application. Validating the potential of implemented approach, a case study is also described based on a real time scenario.
