Requirements Interview Answers:
To help you bid more accurately, the buyer was interviewed about the requirements for this bid request. Below are their answers. Untitled Page
Bid request Type: What kind of work do you need done?
Software related (Includes desktop applications and internet websites)
Bid request Parts: What do you want the worker to do on this bid request?
Requirements: The worker will analyze the problem and propose a software-based solution to the problem.
Programming: The worker will take the requirements and translate them into the language of the computer (and test it).
User installation: The installer will move the software from the place it was created (which is called the development or QC environment) to where you will use it (which is called the production environment). The installer then tests the software to make sure that the installation was done properly and completely.
Req. Doc. Type: What kind of documentation do you want for this bid request?
Formal documentation - After talking back and forth, the worker creates a formal document and/or prototype, as follows:
  • Prototype: The analyst will create a non-working mockup of all pages/screens in the final software. Creating a prototype makes it easier for the user to visualize the final software, and reduces misunderstandings.
Program Type: What kind of software should the worker create (and/or install)?
  • A desktop or server program: This software runs on a user's own PC/workstation, or on a server.
Desktop / server program info
Size of application: How many screens/forms need to be created/edited in this application?
I don't know.
Other info:This is a small desktop application that parses a C file written for Unix and graphically displays what happens between processes.
At least the following commands are required to be implemented:
- fork(), exec(), wait()
- internal and external channels for process communication ( mkfifo() and pipe() )
- signals
- locks on files
Programming Language: What programming language(s) do you want your application written in?
I don't know what language (and need the worker's assistance to suggest it).
Other info:I need the application to run both on Windows and Unix systems, i prefer Java language but i am opened to suggestions
Operating system(s) What operating systems(s) do you want your application to work on?
I do know the operating system(s):
  • Microsoft Windows -- version(s): any
  • Linux -- version(s): any
    		•
    Database: Will this bid request include a database?
    No, it does not include a database.
    Installation Program: Does the worker need to create an installation program?
    No. The worker needs to only give me instructions on how to install it.
    Legal: 1) I require complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done (so that I may modify it in the future).
    2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables):
    2a) If there are any server-side deliverables (intended to only exist in one place in the Buyer's environment) then they must be installed by the Worker in ready-to-run condition (unless specified elsewhere by the Buyer).
    2b) All other software (including but not limited to any desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute) must include a software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request (unless specified elsewhere by the Buyer).
    3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased.
    3b) No part of the deliverable may contain any copyright restricted 3rd party components (including GPL, GNU, Copyleft, etc.) unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the worker's Worker Legal Agreement.
    Other Requirements:
    The parsing of the C file for Unix must take note about loops.
    For example:
    for(i = 0; i < 10; i++)
    {
    pid = fork();
    }

    must graphically show 10 processes.

    I will need a command menu that will allow me for "Step by Step" displaying...like a music player buttons, a speed setter to set the speed of the display.

    The attached image is what i have done so far but i don't have time to complete it.
    I don't require for this work to be continued.
    • All deliverables must be uploaded to Rent A Coder before the deadline(s) for this bid request...with no exceptions. If this contract makes it impossible for a competent person to do this, then do not start this bid request...but instead alert Rent A Coder of an un-arbitratable, illegal bid request.
    • Remember that contacting the other party outside of the site (by email, phone, etc.) on all business bid requests <$500 (before the buyer's money is escrowed) is a violation of both the software buyer and worker agreements. Rent A Coder monitors all site activity for such violations and can instantly expel transgressors on the spot, so we thank you in advance for your cooperation. If you notice a violation please help out the site and report it. Thanks for your help.
