Your software company, Virtual Solutions, has just won a $$1$m contract to design a build a

prototype Weather Information Processing System $($WIPS$).$

For this assignment, you take on the role of a software architect. You are supplied with sample

input weather data $($kindly provided by the meteorological station$),$ and you need to develop a

program that does the following:

read in and process a configuration file

display city map

display cloud coverage map $($cloudiness index$)$

display cloud coverage map $($LMH symbols$)$

display atmospheric pressure map $($pressure index$)$

display atmospheric pressure map $($LMH symbols$)$

show weather forecast summary report

The program should be compiled as 'csci$251\_$a$1.$ app' and run in Ubuntu $14\mathrm{.}04($Linux OS$).$

The next section describes the requirements for the program.

Task Requirements

A$)$ Upon startup, the program should prompt user to enter a 'configuration' filename. The

program then proceeds to read the contents $($of the entered filename$)$ to further initialize

its own program parameters $/$ data structures. Please refer to Appendix A$,$ which

provides details on the configuration file and its usage.

B$)$ The meteorological station has adopted a map$-$grid coordinate system upon which it

overlays all other weather data. With regards to display city map option, please refer to

Appendix B$,$ which elaborates on this coordinate system, the unit representation, the

relative positioning of different cities and its display requirements.

C$)$ For the display requirements of cloud coverage $($cloudiness index$),$ AND cloud coverage

$($LMH symbols$)($i$.$e$.$ options $3)$ & $4)),$ please refer to Appendix C$,$ which will discuss

about the interpretation of cloud cover input data, its subsequent processing algorithm

and output format requirements.
