Airline Information Management System (AIMS) Booking System Report

This report provides a comprehensive analysis of an Airline Information Management System (AIMS) booking system. It begins with an introduction to the booking system's core functionalities, including ticket booking and seat reservation. The report then delves into the system's design using UML diagrams. The class diagram illustrates the relationships between different classes involved in the booking process, such as sections, seats, and the website, highlighting how travel agents interact with the system. The sequence diagram details the operations required to book a ticket, showing both synchronous and asynchronous messages. The state machine diagram outlines the states involved in a successful booking, including conditions for seat validation and payment processing. The report also includes a verification of the analysis model, confirming that the diagrams align with the system requirements. The conclusion emphasizes the benefits of an AIMS, such as improved flight scheduling and customer convenience. References to relevant research papers are provided at the end of the report.

Introduction:
This report is focused on the booking system which was initiated in the previous
project. In this report, the booking system is thoroughly explained with proper diagrams.
Airplane booking model consist of multiple functions which are also identified in this project.
Like general booking systems, AIMS must also provide the basic functionality to the
potential customers who wants to book tickets. Customers must be able to book tickets and
reserve the desired seats among the available seats. According to the requirement, customer
must be able to book tickets from the travel agents and also directly from their website. All
the transaction and seat selection operations will be go through the website. The travel agents
will be able to use a specific portal on the website to book tickets on passenger request. The
user interface on the website must allow user to get the flight details along with the details of
available seats. They will also be able to book tickets from four different class as first class,
business class, executive economy class and economy class. Every flight must have zero or
more seats in every classes. The quantity of seats in every class is indomitable by the aircraft
configuration that associates with the fleet management system.
Class Diagram

Figure 1: Class diagram for ticket booking

The class diagram describes the association with different classes for the booking system. As
shown in the above figure, the section class and the classes of seats construct inheritance.
According to the requirement, the potential customers must able to book tickets from bot
travel agents and the website. The travel agent also needs to use the website to book the
tickets.so, travel agent formed composition with the class website.
Sequence Diagram
Figure 2: Sequence Diagram for the booking system
The above sequence diagram shows the operations of the classes which needs to be
conducted to book a ticket. The operations are both synchronize and asynchronies message
and maintain their proper lifeline as well.

State Machine Diagram

Figure 3: state machine diagram
The state machine diagram listed the states for a successful booking along with multiple
condition factors. The conditions are applied in certain areas in case of validate seats and
payment.
Verification of analysis model:
The above models are constructed while following the requirement of the AIMS. These
models are constructed for the booking system only. The booking system is also associated
with the fleet management system which was not included on this model. There are also some
other cases which cannot be determined by the above models. According to the requirement,
there are several condition which needs to be implemented in the system for booking such as
super server, saving, business server, and advanced, regular, flexible, last minute and around
the world. The pricing of the booking also depends upon some condition which cannot be
determined from the drawn figures.
Conclusion
Airline information management system has numerous benefits to all the stakeholders
including flight scheduling, online booking and ticketing, and offer a convenient platform to
customers to book their flights from anywhere at any time. It also increases the speed at
handling and retrieving flight schedules and customer information. Albatross Airline
company should implement this system because of the numerous benefits it has. It also
increases business productivity and overall revenue because more customers will be attracted
because of the convenience that the system offers. Employee management system will make
it easier to track employee performance and attendance.
