HCT maintains 14 different libraries within each college. HCT wishes to integrate all college libraries within one centralized system using a state of the art SOA architecture. In particular, the system will record the books owned by the library and will record who has borrowed what books. Before someone can borrow a book, he or she must show a valid ID card, which is checked to insure that it is still valid against the student database maintained by the registrar’s office (for student borrowers), the faculty/staff database maintained by the personnel office (for faculty/staff borrowers). The system must also check to ensure that the borrower does not have any overdue books or unpaid fines before he or she can borrow another book. Every Monday, the library sends emails to those people with overdue books. If a book is overdue by more than two weeks, a fine will be imposed and the system will automatically notify the user about the fine by sending an email. Sometimes, books are lost or returned in damaged condition. The manager must then remove them from the database and ask the person responsible for the damage to pay the value of the damaged property.
