APPENDIX A
Expected Output
A cost-effective and reliable Linux-based POS system for the AUP Cafeteria is expected to be implemented by this project thesis. Additionally documentation like diagrams, pictures, tables, charts about the construction and experimentation about the project will be posted in the internet for public consumption.
Project Schedule
Since the methodology to be used is the Spiral Model, all or any of the activities may take several instances along the timeframe which is expected to span seven months. The Gantt chart below shows when an activity is expected to be of most intensity and focus.
