CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1. Background Study
The mobile computing and mobile based application processing are
being popular in all environments and it is not exceptional to academic
institution too. The conventional and traditional mode of attendance
management system (AMS) leads lot of paper work and it is hard to
maintain for a long period of time. The mobile attendance system has been built
to eliminate the time and effort wasted in taking attendances in schools and colleges. It also greatly reduces the amount of paper resources needed in attendance data management. This is an android mobile app. It is built to be used for school/college faculty so that they may take student attendance on their phones. The system is divided into following modules:
- Student Attendance List Creation: Once this App is installed on a phone, it allows user to create a student attendance sheet consisting of name, roll number, date, Absent/Present mark and subject. He has to fill student names along with associated roll numbers.
- Attendance Marking: The faculty has the list on his phone now. He may see the list call roll numbers and select absent id the student is absent or select present if student is present.
- Attendance Storage: This data is now stored in the faculty mobile phone. Faculty may also view it anytime on their phone.
- Attendance sheet transfer: The faculty can transfer the file to a server (normal computer) via a bluetooth connection where this data can be stored and maintained by the school or college.
2. Problem Statement
Attendance Management System is software developed for daily student attendance in schools, colleges and institutes. It facilitates to access the attendance information of a particular student in a particular class. This system will also help in evaluating attendance eligibility criteria of a student. By just a click on the mouse, the system will be able to produce the students' attendance report thus reducing the need for manual labor, which is
prone to human errors and time consuming. This application is built for automating the processing of attendance. It also enhances the speed of performing attendance task easily. The Student Attendance will be based on the department and section. According to the department wise and section wise, the attendance will be marked for the students. It includes present, absent and leave column for each student so that they would mark the attendance like period wise. By just a click on the mouse, the system will be able to produce the students' attendance report thus reducing the need for manual labor which is prone to human errors and time consuming. The student and staff have unique user login id and password available. The student can only view the attendance record on weekly, monthly, and whole semester basis. The staff can view as well as modify the attendance record. Printing facility for attendance record is available for both students and staff.
3. Objectives of Study
- To develop and implement mobile based attendance system.
- To take attendance and keep track of the attendance in a mobile device for easy and proper evaluation of attendance.
- To create an android mobile application providing a consistent user interface to interact with system.
- To developed and design the android-based mobile attendance application for the management of attendance records in the educational organization.
- To implement the new technology development system to make it digitalized, authorized, secured one in the given web server to kept it records as many years we want to kept it for its future use as per our needs.
4. Methodology
4.1. Project of framework Project was developed using incremental development model. Incremental Development Model is used widely for e-commerce approach, personal and business based application which provides users to give their suggestions, reviews and comments while building any software or system in order to create a stable and updated version of software/system according to environment need.
4.2. Data and Information
- Contents available in internet Different websites were preferred for getting the proper information, ideas, thoughts, etc. related with the system that were being used by different other colleges. YouTube was preferred to see what others system developer had done while they were developing College Account Management System for many educational institutes too. This had helped a lot while developing System for Nepal Commerce Campus.

TASK AND ACTIVITY PERFORMED
1. Requirement Specification
Requirement analysis is the process of determining user expectation for a new or modified product. Requirements must be quantifiable, relevant and detailed. Requirements analysis involved frequent communication with the system users to determine specific feature expectations, resolution of conflict or ambiguity in requirements as demanded by the various users or groups of users, avoidance of feature creep and documentation of all aspects of the project development process from start to finish. The main objective of requirement analysis is to:
- Identify customer’s needs.
- Evaluate system for feasibility.
- Perform economic and technical analysis.
- Allocate functions to system elements.
- Establish schedule and constraints
- Create system definitions
1.1. Functional Requirement Functional requirement is the statement of services that the system must provide or descriptions of how some computation are carried out. These are statement of services that the system should provide how the system should react to the particular input and how the system should behave in a particular situation. These requirements describe what the system should do and should not do.
- (^) Admin Login
- Manage Students Record
- Manage teachers record
- Manage Program Record
- Manage Subject Record
- Manage Teacher-Subject Record
- User Login
- Take Attendance
- Edit Attendance
- Generate Report
•.2. Non Functional Requirement
- Operational Feasibility The system “AAMS” can be operated by the person who have basic and general knowledge about the computing. This system is operationally feasible since it has simple GUI and easy system interaction, which will, solves the problem, and takes Advantages of the opportunities identified during scope definition and it satisfies the requirements analysis phase of the system development.
2. System Design
The system design consists of one admin/user who first create classes and then add students in the respective classes. Once students are added to their respective classes then the admin can now takes the attendance for each class. If the admin wants to delete class then he/she can do it by just clicking on the delete icon located on the right side of the respective class.
The admin/teacher now can take attendance of any class. After taking attendance he/she click on the submit button. After clicking on the submit button, the attendance information gets save in the database. The admin can retrieve the attendance information of a particular class on a particular date.

3. System Development
System development consists of various development tools, testing tools and some other system development life cycle processes. Different feasibility studies have been done such as technical feasibility, time feasibility, and behavioral feasibility. In this stage an executable software i.e. desktop application using different development tools. The different tools used are listed below:
3.1. Module Description The system is divided into following modules:
