Presentation of dissertation/thesis sheduling system (PDTSS)

Abstract

In this study we will concentrate on the presentation of scheduling problems in an attempt to develop a web-based, automatic presentation scheduling system which can be employed by Advanced Informatics School, Universiti teknologi Malaysia (UTM AIS). So far this matter has been carried out manually until UTM AIS. This occurs on the event that the presentation scheduling process that was being managed turns out to be rather difficult for administration. The presentation scheduling problem is related to the scheduling of number of presentations to the venues and the limited available timeslots and also allocating some examiners for every presentation while taking the need to satisfy a group of defined constraints into consideration. Furthermore, the aforementioned system enables the staff and personnel to email or print the scheduling timetable of presentation. Implementing this system in UTM AIS is influenced by a group of presentations, the overlapping of examiners has to be avoided and the presentations have to be distributed among the examiners equally and fairly also the examiners must have the minimum possible gap between the presentations which they attend in. Greedy algorithm has been employed in this report. The software development model employed for the structuring and controlling of the developmental procedure of dissertation/thesis scheduling system’s presentation is incremental development model. The system will be implemented by C# programming language. The software documentations which were conducted in accordance with DoD-2167A standards in this study consist of Software Development Plan (SDP), Interface Requirements Specification (IRS), Software Requirements Specification (SRS) and system Design Description (SDD).
