Assessment
Scenario
You have been hired as a software developer for a start-up firm i-Buy Technologies. You are part of a
team that has to create a shopping application on Android.
Users of the application can post items for sale and can buy items that are available for sale from
other users. Clicking on each listing opens a new page with more details on the item and the pickup
location on a map.
The application is to obtain the data from another web application that stores all the data.
Task 1 Due: 11/03/2020
Individual Task - (25 marks)
LO 1: Evaluate and implement features of client-server systems using Java Enterprise edition and/or .NET
LO3: Demonstrate mastery of distributed algorithms
Write a research report to:
1. evaluate the applicability of a client-server system in the above scenario and describe 3
features that can be implemented in the above scenario and how they can be implemented;
and
2. describe distributed algorithms, analyse why they are required in most applications these
days and a minimum of 3 issues faced when implementing distributed algorithms.
Task 2 Due: 25/03/2020
Group Task - (25 marks)
LO3: Demonstrate mastery of distributed algorithms
LO5: Apply standard design principles and algorithms in the construction of a distributed system
Based on the distributed system theory, design a solution for the above scenario applying design
principles in the construction of a distributed system using REST API. You must include a diagram
that outlines the basics of the system and a service flow diagram from backend to frontend.
You must satisfy the below requirements:
1. apply and document a minimum of 2 design principles in constructing the distributed
system;

along with the marked pick up location of the item on map using tabbed navigation.
5. Display your location using a location service on the map with a different pointer with a
custom marker that says “I am here”
6. The description page needs three buttons, one that can share the item description using
Bluetooth, one that can buy the item and another that can send a text message to the
seller with the default text saying “Hi, I am interested in the item <ITEM TITLE> you have

Coding
Standards
(5 marks)
The code adheres to
all standards. The
code is exceptionally
well organized and
very easy to follow.
Comments are
complete and useful;
variables’ purposes
are clearly
communicated by
their names.
(5 marks)
There may be
some minor
failures to adhere
to standards, for
instance,
indentation may
be inconsistent,
some lines may be
too long, or a few
variables may
have unobvious
names or be
undocumented.
(4 marks)
There are some moderate violations of the
standards. The code may be difficult to read in
places, or some of the function comments may
be sketchy. However, the code is still generally
readable and there is enough commenting,
good enough variable names, etc. that
someone could still figure out what’s going on
without too much difficulty.
(2-3 marks)
There are major
problems with the
program’s design or
coding style that would
interfere with its
comprehension, reuse,
or maintenance. File or
function comments may
be sketchy, variable
descriptions or names
may be unenlightening.
The code may be poorly
formatted.

The code is poorly
designed and
organized, with
few or no useful
comments. It is
very difficult to
read or
understand.
