It explains all the natural workings of the software system, which covers all areas including the system's components and modules, characteristics and functions, the development approaches taken, the development tools used, and also the logical sequences involved in every process of the system. It also explains the objective and motivation involved in building this system, within the limitations of the scope to build the system specifically for the UMS SKTM community. The fundamental nature of existing systems and the implications it will have on this system are also covered.
