Smart information dissemination system

Abstract

Campus-wide networks are prevalent in all major educational institutions today. Essentially pervasive intranet, a typical campus network interconnects hundreds of departments across dozens of buildings, providing high-speed access for both students and staff. SIDS application is designed as a cost effective system for keeping the members of computer science department informed about the latest department news while achieving a paperless culture in the administration area of the department. The project aims at establishing communication and collaboration, which is vital to the success of building a strong knowledge culture and facilitating collaborative research for any educational institute. The project incorporates both wired and wireless communication to allow the students to have access of the administration updates. These updates include event notifications, scheduling information and attendance alerts. A prototype system has been developed which can be tailored for real world applications with a little effort. Key benefits of the application include ease of integration in the existing network at negligible cost and seamless integration into the campus environment. The educational institutes can be better equipped to achieve their primary objective of providing the best knowledge experience for its students and staff.
