B2BISS is complete!

Finally we've finished our first tool in the Final Project.

We made some changes on the interface as the elements of the SEED team advised us. We also added FTP and Socket Services to the framework. We added a statistics section so the user might be able to analyze the percentages of the incoming files types.

You can see some screenshots of the application bellow:

We also redesigned the XMLSender so it now supports the send over Socket. You can see a screenshot and download it in the Links section on the right.

Concerning to the business process metrics plug-ins, we've made some changes on them, nothing really important, basically we just changed some names. At this point we are waiting for one metric (Modularity) and still don't know what will be the third language to implement. We'll have to wait patiently for it…

On DTIM, we are already working on the Design phase, and started reading some material about PHP O.O. programming and MVC design patter usage. Unfortunately, we are not spending the time that we expected for DTIM, but in the next 2 or 3 months we pretend to give 100% of dedication to this project, since it is the main one.

The next weeks we have to start writing our intermediate report because it has to be delivered in the first week of February.
