Reading material and working independently do not compensate for the loss of insight gained by being physically present in classroom environment. As a result attendance monitoring should be an integral part of any institution especially a tertiary institution. The major challenge that a facilitator has in monitoring attendance is the sheer paper work and subsequent administrative work that follows the process if it is done manually. Many techniques have been developed to automate attendance monitoring including the use of biometrics. These techniques have their own strengths and weaknesses. This paper describes a pilot experiment that was rolled out AA Tech

Mubeen Arshad

4. INTRODUCTION: SYSTEM
PURPOSE
●The purpose of this project is to develop an
automated class attendance checking system
for each and every lecture room in the
university.

5. INTRODUCTION:
WHERE?

6. INTRODUCTION: KEY
TECHNOLOGY
●The primary technology to be used is Radio
Frequency Identification technology or RFID
●A system of identification wherein an electronic
device that uses radio frequency or magnetic
field variations to communicate is attached to
an item.
●Why RFID?
1.Alignment is not necessary.
2. High inventory speeds.
3. Variety of form factors.
4. Item-level tracking.
5.Rewritability (This depends on the type of
the Tag).

7. INTRODUCTION: USED
TOOLS
● RFID, The Key Technology
● Linux, The Base Operating System
● JAVA, Application logic and the middle-ware
● MySQL, The Back-end Database
● GWT, Google Web Toolkit

8. Planning & Analysis
Iqra Munir

9. We believe that the best way to get a good working
application is to give enough time for planning and
designing.
In our planning phase,we passed through the
following..
PLANNING
●
●

10. KNOW THE SCALE AND WORKING
ENVIRONMENT
●
●
●
large number of students ,class rooms and teaching
stuff.
Limited resources.
Searching for suitable RFID-Reader to work
efficiently with minimum cost.
System has to be scalable

11. - H/W requirements:
– RFID-Readers
– Tags
– Server machine
- S/W requirements:
– Linux Operating System
– Database
– Apache web server
- Who uses the system:
– Students
– Teachers
– Professors
ANALYSIS:
TECHNICAL

12. The system should be divided into 3 modules
- The RFID module
for using the RFID-Reader.
- The Database module
for recording the attendance.
- The View module
to view recorded attendance.
SYSTEM
ANALYSIS

13. ● Initial costs
●
●
RFID-Reader: 500 EGP for each Classroom
RFID-Tag for each student
● Running costs
●
●
Electricity cost
Maintenance cost
ANALYSIS:
ECONOMIC

14. Application & Database Design
Salman Rafique

15. As in the planning phase we have 3
modules
- The RFID module
- The Database module
- The View module
DESIGN

16. RFID
Designing Java classes which function is:
●
●
When students pass through the
RFID-Reader with their ID-cards,The RFID-
Reader reads the ID of each student
passes and sends it to the server for
processing .
The server takes the ID of the student,
process it and record the attendance in the
database.

17. ● Included two phases:
1- Designing the Database
–
– creating tables that mirrors the structure of the
environment and the relations between these
tables.
Normalizing tables.
2- Designing Database Java classes:
–
– Classes that records the attendance data in the
database.
Classes that retrieves the attendance data to view
it using the systems' GUI.
DATABASE

18. ● Designing login form to check authentication.
● Designing needed forms for possible users of the
system depending on the permissions given to
each type of users (professor,TA,student).

19. THE ENVIRONMENT

20. THE
ENVIRONMENT:
LINUX
● We use Linux as the base OS for our server
● In spite of that , Our Software is tested under
Microsoft Windows. And can be deployed on
any other platform that supports Java

21. • Mainly , It is free
– FREE of charge.
– FREE source
– Rapid development
– More Secure.
• Security
–User Privileges
–No Executables
–No Registry
• Stability.
• Multi-User , Networked OS
THE ENVIRONMENT:
WHY LINUX?

22. • Java is an Open Source Object Oriented
Programming Language.
• Platform independent
• Secure
• Simple
• Multi-Threaded
• Distributed
THE ENVIRONMENT:
JAVA

23. database management system• Relational
(RDBMS)
multiuser access to a number of• Providing
databases
• Works on many different system platforms
THE ENVIRONMENT:
MYSQL

24. •A JAVAto JavaScript cross-compiler
•It takes Java code and compiles it into JavaScript
to be run in a browser with AJAX style
•GWT-RPC : A technology used toremotely
invoke code component from remote server
THE ENVIRONMENT:
GWT GOOGLE WEBTOOLKIT

25. Implementation
Qamar Shahzad

26. ●
We create a class that will listen to the
reader and if the reader read a tag it
will capture this ID and the time of
Attendance
IMPLEMENTATION:
READER API

27. ● The client will send this information
to the server using RPC to check if this
user is authenticated.
VIEW:
LOGIN INTERFACE

28. ●
For student he can view only his
attendance.
VIEW:
STUDENT INTERFACE

29. ●
For professors ,each one can view
attendance in his subjects.
VIEW:
PROFESSOR INTERFACE

30. ●
●
●
Switch on/off interface
View student attendance
View section attendance
VIEW:
TEACHER INTERFACE

31. ●
The teacher can switch on/off the
reader from the interface
TEACHER:
READER INTERFACE

32. ● We create number of classes that will
execute the query on the database
and return the required data.
MODEL

33. ●
●
Google Web Toolkit
provides us with some of tools like RPC package.
We used this package to connect the view with the model
