Abstract
The project EVENTer is the web and android platform for creating the events, sharing them
among the visitors, recording the activities of the events . The web platform is build with the
platform of PHP and the mobile application platform is building using the java and android. It
brings Audience and the Event Organizers to one platform and connects each other. Several
events are being organized day-to-day. But these events don not reach to the people i.e. we do
not have a proper specific platform to get to know about these events and also event
organizers do not have a specific platform to share their events. So EVETNer overcomes this
situation by providing social media platform for boosting up the events to reach out the
maximum users.
The major objective of this project is to build the single platform that can manage different
aspects of the events which are created either by individuals or by organizations. It shows the
personalized event suggestions to the user and helps to collaborate with volunteers,
organizers, supporters. The mobile application is limited to android platform only, not
available for other OS. The unauthentic information can flow in the system which can’t
always be corrected.
The development is carried out with the agile principles following the scrum framework of
agile methodology. The project will complete in major 4 sprints and will extend up to one
and half month.

1. Introduction
EVENTer is the web and android platform for creating the events, sharing them among the
visitors, recording the activities of the events and arranging the visitors, volunteers and
partners. Visitors can search the event, know the details of the events, reserve the seat to
attend the event, showing interest in the event by interested button clicking and also
following the companies and persons.
There will be two types of accounts, personal and organizational. The organizational account
is verified by the admin panel. Both the organizational and personal account can create the
event. These events are visible in the event feed of the visitors. Events are divided according
to their different parameters. Visitors can filter the event by different given parameters.
The created events can be edited or deleted by the event creator, accept for the sponsorship,
volunteers and participants. The participants can set the remainder time for the event, know
about the event in detail.
Personalized suggestions are made on the basis of the past data for the events in the
recommended section using the training algorithm.

1.1. Problem Statement
We came up with this project idea to somehow eliminate the daily problem we are facing in
this event. Here are the problems that arise and can be reduced to a certain extent.
Many events can happen without getting unnoticed by various interested people. There is still
lack of proper event advertising- finding platform. The advertisement in other platform are
not cost efficient, and are not target specific too. This makes hard for both the organizer and
participants to get connected for the event.
The event created on Facebook is polluted with more non important posts that are creating
the hectic to cope with.
1.2. Project objectives
The major objectives of this project are
Single platform to get and set all the information about the event.
EVENTer is a single and event only, specific online platform for advertisement of the event.
In this event you can create and search of the events happening in the country, covers all
sectors and categories.
Personalized recommendation of the event from past data
The system will display the selected events from the category you are interested. Our system
will be designed to perform the personalized recommendations on the basis of your field of
interest, past participated events and events you are interested in.
Collaboration destination for event organization, sponsors and volunteers.
Our major objectives will be able to manage all the groups related to the event. They can be
sponsors, other partner organizations and volunteers. These groups play the pivotal role in the
success of the event. So we are building a platform that can handle all of them in one place.

1.3. Project scope and limitations
The scope of the EVENTer is extended to all the internet users all over Nepal who are
interested in participating in events and to all those companies who are the event organizers.
The project will be available in Android and web platform only. To view the events and
attend the events you must have an account on the platform.
The events are not controlled by the admin panel, so the false information cannot be filtered
by us. So non authentic information can flow or include in the platform.
1.4. Significance of the study
The project is determined to be beneficial for all the event organizers and related partners. It
was found to be useful to take into the implementation. It is believed to provide the business
value by the project. It also implements the different part of the engineering ranging from
databases to API and Data mining. It combines the social media networking with AI.

2. Literature Review
This section consists the literature study on different topics like google map API, event base
others platform. It aims to provide readers a theoretical base for the project and also develop
an understanding of the nature of the project.
2.1. Android
Android, initially developed by Android Inc. and later acquired by Google in
2007, is an open source mobile operation system developed primarily for
touchscreen mobile devices and tablets. Built upon a modified version of the
Linux kernel, Android is currently one of the most used mobile operating systems
in the world. In addition to the mobile devices, various other devices like
televisions, cars, wrist watches, game consoles and digital cameras use Android
today. The UI of android is written in Java, while its core and kernels are written
in C and C++.
The functionality of the devices running Android can be extended by installation
of several custom applications, commonly called as “Apps”, which are primarily
written using Java. The applications run on top of Android Runtime and make use
of core libraries set up by the application framework. On the foundation lies the
Linux kernel, which acts as a bridge between the underlying hardware and the
android library.
2.2. Existing systems like EVENTer
Social media platform like Facebook has the inbuilt functionality for event
creating and sharing. We can create the event share among friends. We can search
the events and get enrolled in it.
But the event on Facebook is just the other functionality among many functions. It
provides a wide range of categories. Our project will be only the event specific
and can have better functions that the Facebook event can't provide. Such as, the
list of partners, sponsors and volunteers can’t be found in the Facebook event
which we are going to implement in this project. The history of the participated
events is recorded in our project.
The facilities like featured events and advertised events are supported by our
project. Our project is highly inspired from the event system of Facebook. Much
functionality is similar to the Facebook events.
2.3. Google Maps API
Google Maps API was launched by Google in June 2005. By using Google Maps
API, it is possible to embed Google Maps site into an external website, on to
which site specific data can be overlaid. Google API allow for developer to
Page 4 of 21
integrate Google Maps into their websites. The Google Maps API is free for
commercial use, provided that the site on which it is being used is publicly
accessible and does not charge for access, and is n ot generating more than 25000
map accesses a day.

3. Methodology
The EVENTer system generally revolves around 3 groups of users- Event organizer,
Participants and the group of supporters, sponsors and volunteers. The general interaction
between them is through this system in the following way.
Figure 1 System architecture
All the events organizing companies can create an account in the event system and register or
insert the details of the events according to the category. The other user can check the events
and add their own events too.
The users/ companies who want to volunteer or became the partners and sponsors can register
through this site. The registered events can be altered i.e. can be modified according to the
needs of the events.

3.1. Software Development Life Cycle
For our project, we plan to implement agile methodology of software development. Agile
methodology is highly effective method of software development. This method focuses more
on individuals and interactions instead of processes and tools. Working software is more
important than comprehensive documentation. Process should respond change rather than
following plan.
Agile methodology helps to deliver customer satisfaction by delivering valuable software
continuously. It always accepts change of requirements how early or late in the project. It
helps to deliver software within a shorter timescale. Sprint system in agile is proved to be
highly effective as it regularize the development speed and helps to accomplish projects in
time.
3.1.1. Scrum method
Our project will be carried out in the scrum method framework. We would be following this
methodology throughout the project. We would be performing our tasks in the 3 formal
scrum events.
The first sprint will be for the double linear development of the frontend. In this
period we will be divided into two groups- Mobile (Guman and Naresh), Web
development (Suman and Kendra) and build the early prototype of the project.
The sprint duration is considered of 2 week.
The second sprint is for the backend development, admin panel development and API
development. This sprint will extend up to two weeks.
The third sprint is defined for web services, API integration between different
systems. The sprint period will be of two weeks.
The deliverables are examined through the sprint review and retrospective system.
• Sprint Review- It is carried out once the Sprint has been done. It is meant to inspect
the increment and adapt the product backlog if it is necessary
• Sprint Retrospective- This is a chance for scrum team to carry out an inspection of
what has been done and develop a plan for improvements with the next sprint. It is
done before the sprint planning begins and after sprint retrospective.

6. Requirement Analysis
Requirement analysis, in software engineering encompasses those tasks that go into
determining the need and conditions to meet for a new or altered product, taking
account of possibly conflicting requirements of the various stakeholders, such as
beneficiaries and users. It is the early stage activity of requirement engineering which
consist all the activities with eliciting, analyzing, documenting, validating, and
managing requirements.

The information will be given by user themselves and the events have to full filled
detailed requirements.
Data Required:
User Information
This contains user’s full name, username, email, password and address.
Events
This contains the events details (Title, Date, Time, Venue, Organizer, Category,
Price) input by the user.
6.4. Output Requirements
Page 14 of 21
Output Objectives:
The user requires following output from our system
1. Broader details of all the events in the newsfeed and map
2. Full detail on the events they have joined to
3. Event recommendation based on user’s past and consumption data and pattern
6.5. Security Requirements
Users are to sign up and then only get access to the information regarding the
events so that each user can have their separate record to the events they are
interested in or joined to and only authorized user will be able to update the
events. Therefore each user have been given their own account with username and
password to login. Password are saved in database, which are hashed using Sha-1
protocol. This will kept the information safe from intruders as well as those who
are authorized to manage database only
