University RFID-Enabled Event Management Information System (URFID-EEMIS)

This dissertation focuses on the research and development phase of University RFID
(Radio Frequency Identification)-Enabled Event Management Information System,
which aims to automate the current method of conveying information such as venue of
class changed, class postponed/cancelled, date of quiz and tests, due date of assignment
or project, and event update to the students ofUniversiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP).
The key objectives for this University RFID-Enabled Event Management Information
System (URFID - EEMIS) includes capturing the unique ID stored in each RFID tags
from the registered students, then validate the information with the database from backend
system and display information to the students. Based on the author research, RFID
technology is suitable to be used in the system due to its unique characteristics
compared to other available technology nowadays. It is hope that this system can be
used as an alternative tool to convey the information or messages to the UTP students in
future.
Methodology that will be used in developing University RFID-Enabled Event
Management Information System is prototyping-based methodology. The author
chooses this methodology because it can provides a system for the users to interact with
very quickly, even if it is not ready for widespread yet. In addition to that, prototypingbased
methodology helps to more quickly refine real requirements.
