Hi all,
I have an assignment about analysing the Distributed Information System for a typical
International Shipping Company such as Hapag-Lloyd, Sally Line UK etc. The assignment
mentioned about some objects such as Ship, Container, Consignment, Port, Voyage, Client,
Representative, Contract, Manifest log, also about Crane system, Crane controller, Cranes
actuators, Crane sensor etc. Howerver, the relationships between them, the properties, and
the working scenarios are not provided. It's hard to abstract information from such a bad
specification like that.
So, I have to know some legacy working system in real world before starting to analyse. I try
to read some information about these companies but I felt there are too much complexity. All of
them don't provide any information about IT system related to them.
Anyone has a sample database (any DBMS), script or just some easy-to-understand
information about such this type of company? Please help me!
Thank for any help! :)
