Whodunit offers unique computer forensics services to a nationwide client base of businesses and private individuals seeking evidence of specific kinds of computer use. Whodunit staff members are experts in their specialized area of computer investigations, but they lack the knowledge and skills to create the computer system needed to store and organize the information they collect. Whodunit would like your company to design a system to help them categorize, sort, store, and otherwise manipulate the thousands of artifacts they collect using your well-known expertise in object-oriented analysis and design. Additional information about Whodunit's needs shall be provided for each phase of the design process.

Prepare an activity design and description in that addresses the following requirements:

• Define a process used by the Whodunit staff to retrieve a specific kind of forensic computer evidence, transfer it to Whodunit storage, classify it, and document it.
• Prepare a rough flow diagram of the process using an appropriate drawing tool.
• Paste this flow diagram into an activity design and description document along with a description of the process.
• Prepare a UML activity diagram for the same process using Microsoft Visio or another drawing tool capable of preparing properly formatted UML activity diagrams. Your diagram should serve to document the business process defined in the first step.
• Paste your diagram into the activity design and description document and add a thorough description of your diagram and the business process it documents.
• Compare and contrast the first flow diagram with the second, more formal UML activity diagram. What benefits were gained from the more formal approach?
• Include an appropriate title page for the assignment.
• Make assumptions as necessary, but be sure to state your assumptions.
