Final Year Project Intelligent Scheduling System (FISS)

Final Year Project (FYP) Intelligent Scheduling System (FISS) is an online web-based
system developed to ease and assist an FYP coordinator in Universiti Teknologi Petronas
(UTP) to schedule the presentations for both FYP1 and FYP2. FISS provides a one stop
centre for the FYP coordinators, lecturers, examiners as well as the FYP students to enter
FISS from office/home and anywhere as long as there is an internet connection. FISS proven
to greatly reduce the paper usage and time saving as the FYP coordinators can use FISS to
resolve any FYP schedules creation. For many years, FYP coordinators have been struggled
to schedule FYP presentations due to the need to refer to various data (i.e lecturers’ data,
students’ data and etc) manually. Therefore, the coordinators have to allocate extra time and
if error occurs somehow they have to delay the releasing of FYP presentations’ schedule. To
add more, it is difficult to identify an immediate and reliable solution to any sudden request
to modify the schedule as there is no database system that stores an updated students and
lecturers’ information. FISS has been developed to alleviate the problems mentioned and
coordinator now can arrange the presentation schedule in a much shorter time and stored the
data and information in a new database system. FISS provides an excellent interface which
make the creation of a presentation’s scheduling a whole lot easier and intelligently provide
solution by automatically compile various resources for the best scheduling time according to
the various presentation in an FYP course.
