Asia Pacific University of Technology and Innovation Distributed Computer Systems (DCOM)

This document outlines an individual assignment for a Distributed Computer Systems course. Students are required to implement a simple client-server chat system that allows users to send text messages and files to each other. The system must include user login/authentication, a list of available users, one-on-one chat sessions between users, and the ability to send/receive files and log out. Students must use at least two common network protocols and APIs to develop the system. They must submit a project report analyzing requirements, justifying protocols used, and meeting formatting guidelines. The report will be graded based on program correctness, reliability, and readability, along with critical analysis, documentation, comments, and presentation clarity.

The system enables different users to send and receive text messages and files to each
other. It consists of one chat server and multiple clients.
The first step for any user to be able to use the system is to login to the system. Upon the
successful authentication the user is able to see a list of all available users connected to the
server. In the next step user can choose a user and start a chat session. When a chatting
session begins both users can send and receive text messages to each other. Morover,
users must be able to send files to the other users while they are chatting. Users can leave
the chat session whenever they want; however, they can remain available in the system till
they logout.
ystem should have a friendly user interface and provide acceptable level of reliability and
fault tolerance.
To develop the system you must use at least two !"# proper $%Is and networ& protocols
