CS408 - Assignment# 2 Spring 2012 Solution

The document describes designing software for an ATM network shared between multiple banks. Each bank would maintain its own accounts on individual computers. ATMs would communicate with a central computer to process transactions, while also communicating directly with customers. Key steps in an ATM transaction include card insertion, user interaction, communication with the central system to carry out the transaction, receipt printing, and card ejection. The system must also include appropriate security, record keeping, and the ability to handle concurrent account access.

ü  Map the extended Human processing model on ATM (Automatic teller Machine)
in your words.

Design the software to support a computerized banking network including both human
cashiers and automatic teller machines (ATMs) to be shared by a consortium of banks.
Each bank provides its own computer to maintain its own accounts and process
transactions against them. Cashier stations are owned by individual banks and
communicate directly with their own banks computers. Human cashiers enter account and
transaction data. Automatic teller machines communicate with a central computer which
clears transactions with the appropriate banks. An automatic teller machine accepts a
cash card, interacts with the user, communicates with the central system to carry out the
transaction, dispenses cash, and prints receipts. The system requires appropriate record-
keeping and security provisions. The system must handle concurrent accesses to the same
account correctly. The banks will provide their own software for their own computers;
you are to design the software for the ATMs and the network. The cost of the shared
system will be apportioned to the banks according to the number of customers with cash
cards.

ü  Why card is ejected before the transaction amount provided to user? Justify your
answer in context of memory.

ü  What can be the possible steps taken to focus the attention of the user during
using ATM.

Focus your attention on ATM screen and take due care in the selection ofbuttons (touch
the parallel area in case the screen is sensor one) to ensure theexecution of desired
transaction / funds transfer. Before pressing / touchingthe keyboard button enter the
required information cautiously. If you pressed /touched wrong button then transaction
reversal is not possible
