system. The system uses Windows, Java, and database mode. Such applications
will ensure confidentiality, safety, stability, and extendibility. In each
region, there will be 2 servers: Web server, and database server. The Web
server will provide hyper text protocol (HTTP) and HTTP secure version
(HTTPS) service. Structured query language (SQL) database software will
be utilized in the database server. Both servers will be placed in the
information centre of the local education department.
