Project Summary

The aim of this work was to provide an effective way of taking attendance of students and academic staff. Biometric systems provide a very good opportunity to improve classical authentication methods. While passwords can be detected or forgotten, biometric methods provide a safe and fast way for personal identification. In this paper we built an authentication prototype of users in a desktop application that manages a real business situation. The prototype uses JAVA-based technology and client-server architecture through the internal network of faculty. Students and lecturers can register their presence using their fingerprints and the application it is able to compare different templates in database.

Most universities have a number of different courses and each course has a number of subjects. Now there are limited faculties, each faculty teaching more than one subjects. So now the time table needed to schedule the faculty at provided time slots in such a way that their timings do not overlap and the time table schedule makes best use of all faculty subject demands. We use a genetic algorithm for this purpose. In our Timetable Generation algorithm we propose to utilize a timetable object.

Project Objectives

The main objective of this project is to propose a design and develop a user-friendly attendance management system using single biometrics input which capable for tracking student’s attendance in more proper and organized way. The other subobjectives are:

1) To study literature review on various biometrics to obtain the most suitable input to be used

2) To conduct preliminary investigation and gathering of user requirements for a simple attendance management system

3) To implement suitable device to capture authentic student’s identity for attendance record

4) To reduce absenteeism problem among students

Many colleges use manual way of preparing timetables with large number of students is very time consuming. This usually ends up with various courses clashing this may be either at same room or with same teachers having more than one course at a time. These are just due to common human errors which are very difficult to prevent in the processes. To avoid these problems people usually taking the previous years’ timetable and modifying it but still it is a difficult job to do incorporate changes. To overcome all these problems we propose this system. This system will take various inputs like details of students, subjects and classrooms and teachers available, depending upon these input it will generate possible time-table, making the utilization of all of these resources in a way that will best suit any of constrains of college rules.

Project Implementation Method

This project is about to design and develop a portable device for better attendance record of students which indirectly reduce absenteeism problem among university students. It will eliminate much problems on manual attendance system by using papers as well as problem of faking someone’s signature which has become a norm among students. This project will ensure the right and authentic person is present in the lecture, lab.

Automatic Timetable Generator is a python /php based software used to generate timetable automatically. Currently timetable is managed manually. It will help to manage all the periods automatically. It Maximum and minimum work load for a Faculty for a day and week will be specified for the efficient generation of timetable.

Benefits of the Project

The study is focusing on designing and developing a system using one input of biometric trait that can detect the physical or behavioural traits of a person. This is to ensure that legitimate user is using the system. The system may contain the memories or database of the legitimate students for specific classes. With this system, any absenteeism can easily be tracked by the lecturers to further take actions for students who play truant as the project need to store database captured using the biometric device.

Timetable Generation System generates timetable for each class and teacher, in keeping with the availability calendar of teachers, availability and capacity of physical resources (such as classrooms, laboratories and computer room) and rules applicable at different classes, semesters, teachers and subjects level. Best of all, this Timetable

Generation System tremendously improves resource utilization and optimization.
