Service flow for April 13th

1)User logs in

2)MoMa shows the product catalog

3)MoMa raises a product order

4)CD raises a shipment order

5)CD ask Mobilizers to compute the full path

6)Mobilizers asks SmartLink for couriers

7)Mobilizers returns to CD the path id

8)CD asks m-Billing if user can pay

9)CD asks Trakken for a delivery barcode

10)CD maps together order product id, shipment order id and delivery barcode

New assumptions list:

Common Denominator is a platform that interacts directly with M-logistics users, so they interact with other platforms this way.

Owns a database for user storage (usernames, password, time of last activity, basic info); routes, couriers, shippers, orders, products, consumers . However, the in detail information of this entities is store in their respective database platform.

Provides sign up mechanisms with mobile number verification and email as well.

Provides a single sign on service which means that user logs in just once in order to use the other platforms. The usage of other platforms is as transparent as possible to the user.

Handles a session timeout of 20 minutes.

Has the capability to raise a shipment order.

M-billing is able to manage the entire payment process.

A route belongs to a courier or a group and corresponds to an area.

Mobilizers computes the full path composed or one or more routes, stores this path and CD is just aware of it. CD needs the unique identifier of this computed full path in order to query for detailed info.

Trakken knows exactly how to make sure that package was picked up and delivered. It generates the barcode and returns it to CD so it can query Trakken for further detailed info.

Cloud Maestro’s CMMessenger is quite functional and can be used by CD.

Assumptions

1) Common Denominator is a platform that interacts directly with M-logistics users, so they interact with other platforms this way.

2) Owns a database for user storage (usernames, password, time of last activity, basic info); routes, couriers, shippers, orders, products, consumers . However, the in detail information of this entities is store in their respective database platform.

3) Provides sign up mechanisms with mobile number verification and email as well.

4) Provides a single sign on service which means that user logs in just once in order to use the other platforms. The usage of other platforms is as transparent as possible to the user.

5) Handles a session timeout of 20 minutes.

6) Has the capability to raise an order.

7) M-billing is able to manage the entire payment process.

8) SmartLink knows exactly how to provide a list of courier candidates.

9) A route is the full path from shipper to consumer, it includes intermediate points, estimated time, cost and distance. CD treats routes as geographical coordinates.

10) Mobilizers computes the route and CD is just aware of it. Since all this computed routes are been stored by CD they are available for future reference. The geocoding is Mobilizer’s task .

11) Trakken knows exactly how to make sure that package was picked up and delivered. Just informs CD timestamp and geographical coordinates of important events such as courier package exchange.

12) Cloud Maestro’s CMMessenger is quite functional and can be used by CD.

Hi common denominator team,

We really appreciate if you could post your assumptions and interfaces (inputs and outputs) with other project teams (refer to Instructor's blog post on 03/10).

The goal is to provide a quick reference to other teams and to your team's developers, in order to support the software development. You probably have this information on your presentation slides. It's just a matter of making it more accessible in the community.

You can use as reference MoMa's inputs/outputs/assumptions post on their group's wall. Please keep it at a similar "big picture" detail level.

Please feel free to reach us with any questions or concerns.

Thank you very much.

Ana (on behalf of NextLab tech staff)
