Project: Distributed Shared White Board
In these slides, we are offering mainly guidelines for satisfactory work, but be innovative and creative, which will be valued a lot.
Team/MembersSize:1Individual(likeAssignment1).
General help: Ask your tutor during/after tutorial session. Also
use Discussion Board in LMS.
MarksAllocated:25
Note: We expect all students to just finish and submit only the features noted in this specification.

Basic Features (first complete a system with these features as they are
AdvancedFeatures

Shared White Board Distributed Users
Sharedwhiteboardsallowmultipleuserstodrawsimultaneouslyona canvas. There are multiple examples found on the Internet that support a range of features such as freehand drawing with the mouse, drawing lines and shapes such as circles and squares that can be moved and resized, and inserting text.

Main Challenges
Dealingwithconcurrency
Regardless of the technology you use, you will have to ensure that access to shared resources is properly handled and that simultaneous actions lead to a reasonable state.
Structuringyourapplicationandhandlingthesystemstate
For example you can have multiple servers that communicate with each other or a
single central one that manages all the system state.
Dealingwithnetworkedcommunication
You have to decide when/what messages are sent across the network.
You may have to design an exchange protocol that establishes which messages are sent in which situation and the replies that they should generate.
If you use RMI, then you have to design your remote interface(s) and servants
ImplementingtheGUI.
The functionality can resemble tools like MS Paint.
You can use any tool/API/library you want.
e.g.: Java2D drawing package (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/2d/index.html)

Distributed White Board
Developawhiteboardthatcanbesharedbetweenmultipleusers over the network.
ThesystemmustbeimplementedinJavabutyoucanchoosethe technology (e.g., it can be even Sockets) you want to use to build your distributed application:
TCP or UDP?
Message format and Exchange protocol?
can be XML-based or your own format)
Client can broadcasts a message with updates to all other clients, other clients reply acknowledging the message.
Java RMI?
Remote Objects/Remote Interface?
File or Database for Storage
Please Choose any technology of your choice
Make sure that can achieve the goal when you are choosing new technology (otherwise, stick to what you already know).

Requirements Basic Features
Whiteboard Multiuser system
Multipleuserscandrawonasharedinteractivecanvas.
Yoursystemwillsupportasinglewhiteboardthatissharedbetweenall of the clients.
KeyElementswithGUI
Shapes: at least your white board should support for line, circle, triangle and rectangle.
Text inputting allow user to type text anywhere inside the white board.
User should be able choose their favourite colour to draw the above features. At least 16 colors should be available.
Of course, you are most welcome to be creative/innovative.

Advanced Features
1. Chat Window (text based): To allow users to communicate with each other by typing a text.
2. A File menu with new, open, save, saveAs and close should be provided (only the manager can control this)
3. Allow the manager to kick out a certain peer/user

Guidelines on Usage/Operation
Users must provide a username when joining the whiteboard. There should be a way of uniquely identifying users, either by enforcing unique usernames or automatically generating a unique identifier and associating it with each username.
All the users should see the same image of the whiteboard and should have the privilege of doing all the drawing operations.
When displaying a whiteboard, the client user interface should show the usernames of other users who are currently editing the same whiteboard.
Clients may connect and disconnect at any time. When a new client joins the system the client should obtain the current state of the whiteboard so that the same objects are always displayed to every active client.
Only the manager of the whiteboard should be allowed to create a new whiteboard, open a previously saved one, save the current one, and close the application.
Users should be able to work on a drawing together in real time, without appreciable delays between making and observing edits.

Guidelines/Suggestions for Implementation
These phases are suggestions for timely progression, you are most welcome to follow your own approach.
Phase 1 (whiteboard) (aim to finish within 2 weeks of announcement)
As a starting point: Single-user standalone whiteboard (OR) You are most welcome to implement a single user and single server.
Task A: Implement a client that allows a user to draw all the expected elements.
Task B: Implement a server so that client and server are able to communicate entities created in Task A

Guidelines/Suggestions for Implementation
Phase 2 (user management skeleton) Allow the manager to create a whiteboard
Allow other peers to connect and join in by getting approval from the manager
Allow the manager to choose whether a peer can join in join in means the peer name will appear in the user list
Allow the joined peer to choose quit
Allow the manager to close the application, and all peers get
Allow the manager to kick out a certain peer/user

Guidelines Suggestions (You are most welcome follow your own approach)
Phases 3 (Final)
Integrate the whiteboard with the user
management skeleton (phases 1 and 2) Design issues:
What communication mechanism will be used? Socket, RMI, or any other frameworks of your choice.
How to propagate the modification from one peer to other peers?
You may need an event-based mechanism
How many threads do we need per peer? At least one for drawing, one for messaging

Deliverables, Marks and Deadlines
Report (4 marks)
Code and Demo of Network-based
Distributed Users, Shared Whiteboard:
Basic System (16 marks)
Advanced Features (5 marks)
Deadline:
May 30, 2022 (Monday) at 5:00pm
Note: You are NOT allowed to use ANY code taken from any existing shared whiteboard implementation. Full design, code, report has to be Your OWN work. Copying code/content from other sources carries penalty & disciplinary action as per the University rules.

Final Submission
You should write a report that includes the system architecture, communication protocols and message formats, design diagrams (class and interaction), implementation details, new innovations
Dont document anything you havent implemented in the report. This is misconduct and will result in severe penalties.
You need to submit the following via LMS:
Your report in PDF format only.
The executable jar files used to run your systems clients/server(s)
Your source files in a .ZIP or .TAR archive only.

Milestone: Demonstration
Demonstrations
You will showcase your system and discuss your design choices
during the demos.
Date and venue will be announced closer to the submission date.

Penalties for late submissions of assignments
Assignments submitted late will be penalized in the following way:
1 day late: -1 mark
2 days late: -2 marks
3 days late: -3 marks
4 days late: -4 marks
etc. (that is, -1 mark for each day delay).
