Development Of An Automatic Class Scheduler

Development Of An Automatic kinsfolk SchedulerRegarding the rapid growth of the keep down of students and the increasing fleck of arguments offered in school, colleges and institution, the task of scheduling classes to fit into timetables and into existing facilities is decent much more complicated. At the present time, class scheduling no. only needs to fit the courses offered but also has to be performed based on many factors, such as availability and capacity of the room, cost occurred when the cortege argon engaged by any courses, losses occurred when the rooms are left(a) out, and so on mark Scheduler is an easy to use single or multi-user application for scheduling students classes. The software is ideal for schools, colleges and other institutions that must(prenominal) bring forth class schedules. Class Scheduler can be utilise by a single teacher or by a group of students to schedule classes. The idea behind Class Scheduler is to increase the productivity of class room administrators by automating the class scheduling process by automatic anyy setting up course times and assigning rooms and instructors. We can experience course schedule, student schedule, instructor schedule and classroom schedule online.We can also re cream clashes without effort, and preferences of provide and students action with ease and serves a clash-free and error-free timetable. It also saves time and labour.2. OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDYTimetable creation for has always been an error-prone task, normally resulting in multiple iterations of creation and proof-reading. Changes desired by teaching staff, changes of course locations etc. also require an adaptation of the previously created timetables.Traditional approach to generation of timetable had great difficulties collect to large search space which were created as a result of number of variables that need to be considered in such problems. Hence the objective of this project is to automatically beat time tables for the betterment of the teaching staff students.PROBLEM STATEMENTThe manual system of preparing Time fudge in colleges with large number of students is very time consuming and usually ends up with discordant class clashes either at same time or with same teacher, having more than one class at a time. These are just due to common human error which are very difficult to prevent in processes as these. To overcome these problem people usually end up making injudicious use of classrooms and labs.To overcome all these problems we propose to make an automated system.INTRODUCTIONCLASS SCHEDULER is the online timetable generator for schools, colleges and any other institutions that must create class schedules. CLASS SCHEDULER offers functionality for generating timetables (for students or teachers) as well as overview timetables, i.e. all courses in a certain semester for any given degree.This admit is expected to solve those problems and improve the qualitative aspects of generating sche dules as followsShortening the time in establishing the timetables with computer assistance and better education.Easing the procedure of establishing the timetablesEstablishing the timetables according to maximize facilities utilization and instructors preferences. ontogeny an interactive computer link to facilitate information output and the interpretation of the results.DESCRIPTION OF THE SYSTEMThe project aims at developing an automated Time Table generator. The system will take various(a) inputs like details of student, subjects, classrooms and teachers available. Depending upon these inputs it will generate a possible Time Table. Making optimal utilization of all the resources such as rooms and labs and distributing classes in a way that will best suit any of constraints or college rules. List of subjects may include elected as well as core subjects.FeaturesSimple Data EntryIt is quick and easy to enter information of all subjects, years (FE, SE, TE, BE), courses( computer science, extc, bio-medical), suite and teachers.Automatic generationIn few minutes, the program generates a complete timetable that fulfills all your requirements. The program follows all organizational requirements such as selection for number of working days of the week, zero (attendance) period insertion. Subjects could be entered considering subject in which classroom, single or double duration consecutively, periods per week per subject. Periods could be entered with considerations of maximum number of consecutive periods per teacher.Teachers could be placed with considerations such as class should not be assigned when teacher is not free i.e ABC teacher should not be given any class on Monday. XYZ teacher should not get 1st and 2 period on all days etc. Also considering teachers getting x number of maximum periods, minimum/maximum periods per day, limit number of consecutive periods.Automatic Reports for Printing, WebsiteReports for website could be generated for the followin g analysis timetable for classesSummary timetable for teachersSummary timetable for roomsyear wise time tableTeacher wise time tableAll classes assigned to a teacher ( no. of periods per week bifurcations)Total number of periods subject wiseChecking of total Working Hours per week details for the teachersPROCESS FLOWSER-DIAGRAMDATA FLOW DIAGRAMContext level DiagramLevel 1 DFDCLASS SCHEDULER is a system in which automatic timetable is generated by considering various constraints in the system. It also provides the login facility.System takes the required data provided by class coordinator and performs function to generate time table. A professor logs in and can view the required time table.Professor can put across for modification which is forwarded to system by coordinator system generates the alternate timetable, coordinator views the generated timetable and accepts or rejects the modification.If modification is accepted and then the received timetable is stored in database. If t he request is rejected then it is assured to requestor that request cannot be processed.This all activities are shown in the data flow diagram (Level 0) also called as context free diagram.Level 2 DFDINPUTSIt takes various input required by system that are professor information and various data required about that professor. It also takes input of subjects and the relevant information required. The classroom and lab information are also provided. This all data are provided by coordinator.GENERATION OF TIMETABLEIt takes the information provided by the coordinator and consider the various constraints provided. It generate professor schedule and the respective schedule is entered in the class schedule, while generating the schedule it also checks that no time schedule redundancy occur i.e no single slot is allotted to a two or more professor. Two type of timetable is generated class wise and professor wise, this both timetable are stored in database by this process. This stored timeta ble is used as and when required by the users.DISPLAY TIMETABLEWhenever user login the system it provides various choice of displaying timetable. User select the required options , the request is then analyzed by the system and in accordance to the request made the required timetable is displayed. The system provides the online view of timetable.MODIFICATIONAfter the time table is generated the provision is made to view them in various options , timetable is displayed as per the user requirement. The professor views the timetable and if required he/she request for modification. This modification request is forwarded manually to the coordinator which in turn is forwarded to the system. The system then generates the alternate timetable .this alternate timetable is then viewed by the coordinator. He then decides whether the change is propagated or the request cannot be considered. If request is not considered then it informs the requestor about it. structure CHART DIAGRAMUSE CASE DIAGR AMDisplay timetableLoginGenerate timetableModify timetableProfessorstudentcoordinatorUse human faces involved in the system areLOGINUser logs in the system by entering user name and password.

CONCLUSIONThis study has examined the possibility of implementing the concept of assignment of lectures for the class scheduling process. The advantage of this system is that it would be able to applied not only to similar scheduling problems and be extended to various types of problem sharing the same concept. The model has to be able to reduce the number of activities in the scheduling process.
