Development Of A Publish-Subscribe System For Mountain Top University Staff And Student

Abstract

The aim of this study was to build a social network system that allows educators to share content while also allowing students to join to one or more educators on the system and gain access to their content as well as receive notifications whenever new content is uploaded by any of the educators the subscribers subscribe to. A literature review was conducted in order to discover and evaluate current publish/subscribe systems. The system's user and system needs were established through informal discussions with system users. UML diagrams, such as use case, sequence, and class diagrams, were used to specify the system design. React Native, Node.js, JavaScript, and Firebase were used to develop the system. The system's result revealed the deployment of the database for storing data alongside the mobile application. The system was able to distinguish if the user was a writer or a reader as a results of the research. The study concluded that using the system deals with the issue of uncertainty or lack of direction in the regarding career path for final academic year or after, as a consequence of the knowledge gap between academic curriculum and practical career criteria.
