Developing volunteer management system with Java EE Technology: The case of Taichung volunteer service promotion center

Abstract

Volunteer service exercisers or teams currently use the Volunteer Service Integrated Information System (VSIIS) developed by the Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW) to support their businesses. This study proposes the Volunteer Management System for the Taichung Volunteer Service Promotion Center, which is a volunteer service exerciser, with better user interface designs and browser compatibility, when compared to the VSIIS. The proposed system works independently and can export data to the VSIIS for reporting to the MOHW. The system is built with the Java EE and other open technologies, and its source codes are open to the public. Other volunteers can join the development by helping to continuously improve the proposed Volunteer Management System.
