1 Purpose

The primary purpose of this assignment is to help you review (and demonstrate that you have acquired) the knowledge and skills required to write distributed applications that transmit text using UDP and/or TCP.

2 Overview

You have already done some work for KitchIntel, a (fictitious) company that intends to simplify and improve all aspects of the "kitchen experience" (including the purchase of food and materials, meal preparation, and waste disposal).

The team is now working on the software components that are necessary to actually deploy the control system (KICS) in a distributed manner.

3 Documents

During the sprint planning meeting you took notes that, you think, contain everything you need to proceed. In case you lost them, they are available here: Notes from the Sprint 6 Planning Meeting

4 Tasks

You must both add details to the design, implement the design, conduct unit testing, and develop a proof of concept demonstration.

5 Submission

You must submit (using Autolab) a .zip file named pa6.zip that contains all of your code.

6 Grading

The grade you receive on this assignment will be based on the effort you devote to it. If you make a "serious" effort and have a design and implementation that can be argued to be correct, you will receive a grade of 100. If you make a "serious" effort but your design and/or implementation clearly has major defects, you will receive a grade of 75. If you make a "half-hearted" effort, you will receive a grade of 50. Otherwise, you will receive a grade of 0.
