Your client is the London 2012 Olympic Committee. They have a problem which requires a solution.

The committee needs to ensure that all of the track and field events in the Olympic Park run smoothly. With 651 separate sessions, including 24 track and 16 field events alone, in which athletes can compete in multiple disciplines, it is clear that this is a colossal undertaking and that it is essential that the correct athlete attends the correct event at the correct time. Furthermore, with Google’s Digital Cloud providing live coverage of the events taking place in the Olympic Park, it is critical that athlete stats and results can be provided in real time.

Failure to ensure that each event runs on time will create a CATASTROPHIC KNOCK-ON EFFECT; a lack of real-time updates will show London 2012 to be anything but a 21 st

Century Olympic Games.

With this aim in mind, the committee wants each event to be managed from a central data-hub which will provide logistical support to the crews on the ground.

Therefore, your task is to create a relational database for the events taking place throughout the Olympic Park. Once produced, this will need to be operated from a data-hub in the Olympic Park that can provide live datafeeds to the Digital Cloud.

The actual event that you are covering is up to you, but you must include all of the key information regarding the athlete, timings and event(s) taking place there . The quality of the data must be appropriate for the client and it’s intended use.

This is not coursework. You will not receive a direct mark for this work, instead you will

produce a 10 page report on your work that you will take into your exam, where you will answer questions about your work. One advantage to this not being coursework is that you do not need to work on it alone. Although your final database will be your own work, you are free to work with others in the production process. There are creative, technical, logical, enthusiastic and imaginative people in your ICT group that will bring to your work an extra dimension that you may require. Use your colleagues wisely, and offer your own skills to them.
