The document discusses the development of an ATM Simulation System using Java. It aims to build a user-friendly graphical interface to automate ATM functions like transactions and reporting. This would make the system faster and more accurate than the existing manual process. Java was chosen as the programming language since it is platform independent, simple, secure and robust. The document also provides an overview of Java features and history and describes what tools like the Java JDK and MySQL database would be needed to develop the system. It discusses the scope for future improvements like adding an online mode and reports.
