1.4 Technical Description

1.4.1 Front End

Hyper Text Mark-up Language (HTML)

 HTML stands for Hyper Text Mark-up Language. It is used to design webpages
using a mark-up language.

 HTML is the combination of Hypertext and Mark-up language. Hypertext defines

thelink between the web pages.
 This language is used to annotate (make notes for the computer) text so that a machine
canunderstand it and manipulate text accordingly. 
 Web Browser receives HTML documents from a web server or from local storage

Atmiya Institute of Technology and science for Diploma Studies Page 8

 System Analysis
andrenders, the documents into multimedia web pages.HTML describes the
structure of a webpage semantically and originally include dues for the appearance of the
document.

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)

 A CSS Framework is a library allowing for easier, more standards-compliant web design using
theCascading Style Sheets language.
 Most of these frameworks contain at least a grid. More functional frameworks also come
withmore features and additional JavaScript-based functions, but are mostly design-oriented
and focused around interactive UI patterns.
 This detail differentiates CSS frame works from other JavaScript frameworks.

Java Script
 JavaScript is a cross-platform, object-oriented scripting language used to
makewebpages interactive.
 There are also more advanced server-side versions of JavaScript such as Node.js,
whichallow you to add more functionality to a website than simply downloading
files (such as real time collaboration between multiple computers.)
 Inside a host environment (for example, a web browser), JavaScript can be connected to
the objects of its environment to provide programmatic control over them.
 Client-side JavaScript extends the core language by supplying objects to control a
browser and its Document Object Model (DOM).
 Server-side JavaScript extends the core language by supplying objects relevant
torunning JavaScript on a server.

Bootstrap

 Bootstrap is an HTML, CSS, and JavaScript Framework and it is useful to

developresponsive websites without rewriting the code for each device or
screen.
 If your code once, it just works for any browser, device, and screen.
 Bootstrap has not only HTML/CSS components but also JS components.
 With Bootstrap, you get to use common HTML elements but with a
beautifulrepresentation of items.

 System Analysis

Advantages
1. Not Reinventing the Wheel. We don’t have to write more code.
2. Extensive UI with Bootstrap themes.
3. Open Source. You get to know the source code and change it.

Font Awesome
 Font Awesome is a font and icon toolkit based on CSS and Less. It was made by
DaveGandy for use with Bootstrap and later was incorporated in to the Bootstrap
CDN.

Python 3.8.2
 Python is an interpreted, high-level, general-purpose programming language.
 Object-oriented programming and structured programming are fully supported, and
many of its features support functional programming and aspect-oriented
programming.
 Python's design philosophy emphasizes code readability with its not able use of
significant whitespace.

Django 3.0.8 Frame Work

 Django is a Python-based free and open-source web framework that follows the model- template-
view (MVC) architectural pattern.
 It is maintained by the Django Software Foundation (DSF), an American independent
organization established as a non-profit.
 Django's primary goal is to ease the creation of complex, database-driven websites.
 The framework emphasizes reusability and "plug ability" of components, less code; low coupling,
rapid development, and the principle of don't repeat yourself.
 Python is used throughout, even for settings files and data models. Django also provides an
optional administrative create, read, update, and delete interface that is generated dynamically
through introspection and configured via admin models. Back End

SQLite
 Django officially supports the SQLite Database.
 SQLite is a relational database management system (RDBMS) contained in a C library.
 However, SQLite uses a dynamically and weakly typed SQL syntax that does not
guarantee the domain integrity.

 System Analysis

2.1 Study of Current System

 Nowadays, very few applications can generate automatic time-tables; most of

theapplications can only manage the time-table.
 Application is available for automatic time-table generation and features are
listedbelow :
 First, we have to enter our college or school details then we need to answer
thequestion about our time-table requirement.
 After that, we have to enter subjects, classes, classrooms, and teachers for a
time-table. 
 It provides a feature like as how tutorial for the first or new users about
theapplication path and how the feature works.
 The application which manages time-tables gives a reminder for lectures.
 Currently, timetables can import data and export stored information.
 It also gives the function to set the time-table layout as per the school or
collegerequirement.
 It gives the feature to add a class name, number, faculty name, and lecture time. 

2.2 Weakness of Current System

 Currently the websites are not available to generate time-table and

availableapplications are not user friendly and attractive. 
 It takes too much time to collect information because of complicated structure.
 It does not contain student and faculty personal information, so it could not
provide a feature to see student and faculty profiles.
 Faculty cannot update their status so it could not make immediate required
changes intime-table, faculty status and class location.
 Faculties cannot see all generated time-tables so they are not able to see faculty
live locations. 

 Applications are not connected with online cloud or server so it could not be
possibleto take online attendance. 
 Students are not integrated with the systems or they are not able to see immediate
changes in time-table and their attendance.

 System Analysis

2.3 Introduction to New System

 Firstly, the institute needs to purchase the product key the only the Coordinator
cansign up.
 After signup, the Coordinator can create and edit their profile and generate a
facultykey. 
 The coordinator must enter the department, class details for all the semester
andgenerate student keys.
 The coordinator can edit the time- table layout, slot allocation, apply
requiredconstraints and generate the student key. 
 The coordinator can enter all subjects separately in each department which will be
taken by all the faculties of the department with subject code and credits.
 The coordinator can generate time-tables and examine the class time table,
student information, faculty information and faculty status.
 When faculty want to sign up, they need to enter their faculty key. 
 After login, the faculty can create and edit a profile and select the subject which
istaken throughout the semester.
 Faculty must have to update the absent status regularly so that will be helpful to
allocate a proxy faculty or lecture.
 Faculty can take online attendance during lectures which will be shown in
student login. 
 When a student wants to sign up, the student needs to enter the student key.
 Students can see the details and regularly updated time-table which consists of
thesubject name, faculty name, and class number.

 In the project model, the flow of the project is described.

Iterative Model
 It executes one or more activities repetitively to get accuracy before starting the
next activity. 

 As we use the Iterative Model, the features released to the end-users may be altered
inaphase-wise manner and new features can be released and implemented based on
the feedback. Similarly, the feedback from each stage would also modify the
product features. 

2.5 Iterative Model

Consider an iterative life cycle model, which consists of repeating the following
five, phases in sequence:

 Requirement Elaboration Phase EVRY’s team reviews the current requirements

document thoroughly with the client and validates the same. In some cases, the team
jointly works towards expanding on the requirements or revising them to obtain
betterclarity. 

 High-Level Design Phase The design aspects of the application are completed in
the High-
Level Design Phase, which includes Software Design Architecture, Logical
Database Design, Prototype Concept of Design, and Test Strategy.

 Development Phase This phase is based on the approved requirements from

the Requirement Elaboration Phase and a design frozen in the High- Level
Design Phase. It includes low- level design, user interface, coding, unit testing,
integration, and system testing. Prefers to follow shorter development and testing
cycles, and provide workingdeliverables as opposed to a single long cycle and a
final deliverable. 

 System Analysis

 Final UAT Phase UAT means User acceptance testing. In this final phase, the
application will be released and the client will test the application to ascertain that
allthefeaturesareworkingasdefinedintherequirementsdocument.Anyissuesreported
are fixed and other enhancements provided are considered as a 'Change Request'.

 Conclusion

Conclusions

The project is developed in such way that, no slot clashes occur and providing features to
tailor the time-table as of wish. This type of automation system is very useful for
faculties, students and, coordinators to get their work very easy. An additional feature that
is included in the project is that faculty replacement is also made possible by listing out the
available faculty assigned as temporary faculty. Thus, we can produce a timetable for any
number of courses and multiple semesters. It helps to design whole day activities and also
gives a path and initial point to students and faculty.
