Abstract
The thesis is about creating the mobile application for Gaya Hidup Sehat (Senior) tabloid as the complimentary application in order to get up to date with the current technology. Internet has become popular nowadays and it can be used as the media to popularize the tabloid among the Internet user. However, the current application can only be accessed by users who have computer and Internet connection, which means that it is lack of efficiency.
With the mobile application that we proposed, we seek to have GHS to be more widely accessed by the users as it can be accessed through the mobile devices. It will add more efficiency and effectiveness as people can use the application anytime and anywhere without any burden of time and place. In constructing the whole application, we implement the RAD methodology (Rapid Application Development) as our software development methodology. The reason we choose this methodology is because of the condition of our thesis that is limited of time but potential to have some changing of scope or requirements during the development of the application.
In conclusion, an integrated mobile web solution is a better approach for the current system in GHS and it is also expected that the GHS system will be more widely used in the future.
Key words
vi PREFACE
We would like to gratitude all parties who helped us in finishing this thesis punctually. This thesis creates an integrated mobile web solution for the Gaya Hidup Sehat (GHS) tabloid. This thesis is created as a compulsory in order to graduate from Bina Nusantara University and to gain Sarjana Komputer degree majoring in Computer Science.
The objective of the thesis is to apply what we have learned during our study in university. We also would like to thank to several persons who have, directly or indirectly, help us to finish this thesis:
1. Mr Tri Asih Budiono, MIT, our supervisor, who gives us with the idea about how to finish this thesis in a good way and give feedback and opinion regarding our thesis. 2. Mr Raymondus Kosala, Phd, our co-supervisor, who also helps us in solving the problems we face within development period and giving useful ideas.
3. Mr. Puri, the IT manager of GHS, who allows us to create this thesis within GHS and always gives opinion and requirements within development phase.
4. Friends, who helped us directly or indirectly throughout this thesis
In conclusion, we hope that our thesis could be an example of development in information technology as the implementation of what we have studied in this campus.
