Online Unused Medicine Donation for NGOs

A platform for donating unused medicines to NGOs. Donors register and list medicines with details, NGOs collect them, and users who try to donate expired medicines are blocked.

The network topology, number of nodes, mobility and traffic are defined in a TCL or C++ script. The existing protocol is simulated and its trace file recorded. The proposed improvement is implemented and simulated under the same conditions. Trace files are analysed with AWK scripts and the results are plotted as graphs for comparison.

Packet delivery ratio, end-to-end delay, throughput, packet loss and energy consumption, compared between the existing protocol and the proposed one.

Proactive protocols (DSDV, OLSR) keep routes to all nodes updated at all times. Reactive protocols (AODV, DSR) find a route only when data needs to be sent, which saves overhead in mobile networks.

It follows a three-tier architecture: the browser shows the user interface, the server-side code handles logic and validation, and the MySQL database stores records. Requests travel over HTTP and responses are rendered as HTML or JSON.

All queries use prepared statements with bound parameters, so user input is never joined into the SQL text. Inputs are also validated on the server.

We followed an iterative (incremental) model: requirements and a basic design first, then modules built and tested one by one, with the guide's feedback after each review. It suits a project where requirements become clearer as we build.

Unit testing of each module, integration testing of the complete flow and system testing with real inputs. Test cases with expected and actual results are listed in the report, including invalid inputs.

The current version is tested on a limited dataset or number of users. Future work includes deploying on the cloud, adding more features or languages, improving accuracy with more data and building a mobile version.
