WAP-based Voting System

D. Greig [Computing - 2001/02]

The objective of the project is to produce a WAP-based voting system which will allow attendees at an activity such as a conference, sports match or even at a lecture, to vote on certain options from their hand-held PC, or mobile phone. A good example would be at a sports match where the crowd could vote for the man-of-the-match. The main requirement, at the present, is to produce a prototype of the system, which would then be expanded into full product development. The initial application is for a sport match voting system for a man-of-the-match award.

Technology:

	ASP with an SQL interface to an Access database.
	IIS Version 3.0 or later (as this supports WML to be able to create a WAP server).
	Access database would contains tables for players names, and the option to vote for the man-of-the-match.
	WAP would interface to the database and register votes.
	WAP would also allow the system to clear the votes for players, to delete players from the database, and so on.
	The result would show a WWW page with graphs of the votes for each player.

The best solution would be to use components to allow simple ASP calls to the database (as the component would covert simple ASP calls into SQL queries), but it is possible to implement the whole system in ASP.
