Title: Phi Beta Delta -- Implementation of a self-maintaining web site

Abstract

This project develops an easy-to-maintain web site for the Gamma Lambda 
Chapter of Phi Beta Delta International Honor Society at California State 
University, San Bernardino, which will manage complete and up-to-date 
information about the mission, members, officers and all the activities of
the honor society.

This site has many features. It has a password authenticated administrator
login feature that enables easy to edit and save member profiles, easy to 
download word documents, awards and scholarships component, archives 
component, on-line member nomination capability for faculty, details of the
events held by the honor society, executive committee information and 
access to bulletin board.

The application is built on a MYSQL database for data storage and uses Java
2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) technologies. Java Server Pages (JSP) (version
2.0) technology is used to implement the graphical user interface (GUI) and
Servlets (version 2.4) handle the controller layer of the core 
functionalities. The Apache Tomcat application server (version 5.0) is used
to host the website. These tools used to implement the Project are Open 
Source software tools which are free of cost and easy to download and 
install.
