Computer Science Project Components:
1. Computer architecture and processor optimization:
Implement efficient data structures and algorithms for managing large datasets of
books and user information.
Optimise data retrieval and storage operations to minimize processing time using

techniques such as indexing and caching.
2. Object-Oriented Programming (C++, Java, Python):
Choose one programming language (C++, Java, or Python) to implement the core
functionalities of the LMS.
Use object-oriented principles to design classes such as Book, User, Library,
Transaction to model the entities and interactions within the system.
3. Computer networks:
Implement network communication aspects such as client-server architecture for
remote access to the LMS.
Design protocols for data exchange between the client (library users) and server
(library database).

4. Operating systems:
Consider concurrency and synchronization issues when implementing features
like book borrowing and returning to ensure data consistency.
Utilize file handling and memory management concepts for efficient data storage
and retrieval.

5. Databases and Database Management Systems:
Design a relational database schema using SQLite, MySQL, or PostgreSQL to
store information about books, users, transactions, etc.
Implement CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations to interact with the
database from the LMS application.
Project Deliverables:
1. Functional LMS application: A fully functional application with a user-friendly
interface for library users (borrowers) and administrators (librarians).
2. Documentation: Detailed documentation including system design, database
schema, class diagrams, user manuals, and technical specifications.
3. Presentation: A final presentation demonstrating the LMS functionalities,
architecture, and optimisation strategies used.
