5.1 Search
this task is needed to make finding out the available rooms easier. During the searching the system needs to ensure that there is no conflict in the chosen room. The system has to ensure that the wanted room in the specific time is not assigned to other guest in that time. Because the guest may demand specific room’s features; such as, the type of the room or the view of the room, the system provide the user with the ability of choosing the type of view and the type of the room. After the criteria of the search are
determined, the system connects with the database to find out the rooms that
concerned with these required features.
