The finished web application will be hosted on a Windows server. The web application will be viewable in all major browsers, such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Netscape, or Opera. The web page is to be used by residents of the State of Iowa. The users are assumed to possess basic internet navigation skills. The user will be able to read at a middle school level. The list of survey questions will be provided.

While there are many public assistance programs available, there is no way to get information about these programs to the people who need them. The teams plan for this project is to create one, centralized website that a person in need can go to and easily get all of the information they need. The website envisioned by the team will be able to determine a persons needs and find all of the programs for which they may be eligible.Figure 1: Client-side Screen FlowFigure 3: Administrator Screen FlowFigure 2: XML Database SchemaFigure 4: System Interaction Diagram Database and Web Search Application for Disabled Adults and Children
