Summary

BOSS2 is a course management tool that handles online submission of materials that are then checked for plagiarism. It was developed at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Warwick

The BOSS Online Submission System is a course management tool, developed by the Department of Computer Science at the University of Warwick. It needs to install a server locally in which it keeps copies of the theses submitted.

The system was installed on a local virtual server, with all of the tools necessary (MySQL, Tomcat, Java, mail server). All of the commands as given in the installation guide were used, but the system still would not start. It was possible to set up the database, but it was not possible to connect it with BOSS2, despite many hours of effort.

In summary, since it was not possible to install and test this system, it is not graded.
