The security of the system is guaranteed by using user name and passwords. The information can be queried timely and systematically. The software is reliable, extensible and transplantable, and it is also easy to be maintained and comprehended. The construction of the system will be highly satisfying, integrative and scientific. So far, there has been no this kind of software reported at home or abroad.
