...CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Background of the Study Student absences jeopardize student and school success. Academic achievement scores are correlated with school attendance. Students who are not at school cannot receive instruction. Excessive school absence is a precursor of school dropout and is related to juvenile delinquency. And, because average daily attendance rates are a common determiner of school funding, absences mean that schools have less resources to do the job. Given all this, it is not surprising that reducing school absences is a top priority for many schools. (http://smhp.psych.ucla.edu) Now-a-days intelligent automation has stepped its presence in every field all over the world. This project has a stepping in the attendance and power management of the classrooms in the colleges/schools. The use of low cost technologies for highly reliable applications with the help of newly innovated algorithms makes the automation process to reach the consumers at cheaper and reliable cost. (http://www.muxtronics.com) The widespread of embedded computer networks as part of everyday peoples’ lives is leading the current research towards smart environments and Ambient Intelligence (AmI). AmI is a new information paradigm where people are empowered through a digital environment that is “aware” of their presence and context and is sensitive, adaptive and responsive to their needs. Mark Weiser, described the smart environments as physical worlds that invisibly interact...

...Topic: “The effects of road traffic congestion on residential decision- making of inhabitants of the city of Accra- A case study of communities along three congested routes” Transportation is essentially a response to the mobility needs of people, and this must be done in a timely fashion in order for people to realize its full benefits. Consequently, transportation plays a crucial role in the socio-economic and politico-cultural development of people and their communities. However, there are some related problems (such as congestion, mobility gaps, urban sprawl, and emissions amongst others) that come with it. In Ghana, transportation is almost synonymous with road transport as it is the major means by which peoples’ mobility needs are answered on daily basis. Road traffic congestion in the city of Accra has almost become an’ acceptable norm’ since residents have to live with this phenomenon every passing day of their lives. The factors responsible for this trend are as follows: growth in the population of Accra over the last 15 years (and this has been estimated to double in the next 20 years) associated with a continuing trend of reduction in population density; expansion in built-up area; growth in per capital income (which has also been estimated to have increased five folds over the last 15 years) with a concomitant increase in car ownership. Currently over 70% of major roads in Accra and Kumasi-the two biggest cities in the country- are said to be congested and should the...

...for an upgrade to the system. After researching ways to do this, I ran across software that works with Oracle which allows product to be entered through verbally. Baker & Taylor began binding and publishing books in 1828. They made sure their books made it onto library and store shelves and into readers' hands. Baker & Taylor has been in business for over 180 years and is the world's largest distributor of books and entertainment. They are a well known supplier of paper and digital books to libraries and they primarily serve two types of markets. The first market involves the core business of distributing books, videos, and music, as well as providing value services to thousands of school, public, and specialty libraries worldwide. The second market is the firm's retail unit supplies storefront and Internet book and music retailers, as well as independent booksellers, with a million book titles and about 385,000 DVD and CD titles. Voice technology also answers the need to increase worker productivity. This technology—in which a computer is able to identify speech as well as give "spoken" instructions—is muscling its way into the warehouse because it frees up workers' hands so their workflow is uninterrupted while they communicate with a computer. This technology improves such operations as parts inspection, putaway and order selection. Typically, it's used with an order management or warehouse management system (WMS). It takes data from these systems, synthesizes it into...

...Summary Automated vs. Manual Warehouses: A Different Way of Thinking About ROI This summary illustrates the differences between an automated warehouse and a manual warehouse by giving the advantages and disadvantages of both methods. Automated warehouses use sortation devices, retrieval systems and several other automated solutions. In contrast, Physical employees play a bigger part in a manual warehouse, by picking locations and goods and moving them to the delivery dock. Automated solutions are generally more popular in Germany and Japan than in America and the UK, mainly because America and the UK tend to focus more on the shorter payback period of a manual system. The payback period of an automated warehouse, on the other hand, is commonly around five years. Although an automated system increases (market) risks, the costs to perform logistic tasks decrease significantly. However, automated warehouses are not as flexible as manual warehouses because manual solutions make it easier to add or remove new services. In contrast, adding or removing new services is more difficult and more costly in an automated system. Moreover, manual systems can recover quicker from a poor supply chain design than the automated counterpart. This risk concerning supply chain design is important to keep in mind when one wants an automated system with a high throughput flow. When a company builds an automated warehouse, they should make sure they have good overall visibility to deliveries. This...

...Foreign Literature According to Thomas Primer on his article “Automated computerize Process”, in Readers Digest Magazine, May 2005, Page 45, for many businesses automating the collecting of employee attendance data when employees begin their shifts is still a manual process. Even business that has automated or computerized processes such as scheduling, time cards sheets to collect time and attendance data. NOVA time a group system developer, on last May 2007, the system that will give management the power to not only utilize the tools we have available to us today, but will continue to grow and evolve, giving it the capability to incorporate and utilize the tools the new millennium promises to bring us. NOVA time has brought a system designed for growth while maintaining the maximum in flexibility. Where the sophistication lies within the programmed mechanism of the system, allowing for a quick and simple implementation and employee training cycle, after all the true test of a system is not only in the production and wealth of reporting, but in the simplicity and ease of its operation in conjunction with a simple and accommodating implementation program.

...Thesis Automated Attendance Tracking System A card reader is an automated system that collects class attendance by students swiping their DeVry ID cards for every scheduled lecture and lab session. The card readers are conveniently located in each classroom and lab. Additional individual instructor policies for determining tardiness and absence are outlined in course syllabi. Remember to swipe your card for every class you attend. Many students have shown absences (especially in labs) for classes that they have been attending because they have forgotten to swipe. Please remember to swipe your card for lecture and lab attendance. If you forget to swipe your card, you may request that your instructor submit an 'Attendance Revision Form' to update your attendance. Check with your instructors (or course syllabus) to find out whether or not their attendance recording policy will allow for modifications after the class session has been conducted. Please do not get into the habit of swiping more than one card. It is in your own best interest to be the one in control of your ID card and your attendance record. Swiping your classmates' cards can be considered a violation of Article III of the student code of conduct and is subject to the disciplinary actions outlined in Article V of the Student Handbook. Students are not allowed to use an instructor's ID code or card to record attendance for a class. This is for your protection. If the instructor is running late, please wait for...

...(IJCSIS) International Journal of Computer Science and Information Security, Vol. 10, No. 3, March 2012 An Efficient Automatic Attendance System Using Fingerprint Reconstruction Technique Josphineleela.R Dr.M.Ramakrishnan Research scholar Department of Computer Science and Engineering Sathyabamauniversity Chennai,India ilanleela@yahoo.com Professor/HOD-IT Velammal Engineering College Chennai,India ramkrishod@gmail.com Abstract— Biometric time and attendance system is one of the most successful applications of biometric technology. One of the main advantage of a biometric time and attendance system is it avoids "buddy-punching". Buddy punching was a major loophole which will be exploiting in the traditional time attendance systems. Fingerprint recognition is an established field today, but still identifying individual from a set of enrolled fingerprints is a time taking process. Most fingerprint-based biometric systems store the minutiae template of a user in the database. It has been traditionally assumed that the minutiae template of a user does not reveal any information about the original fingerprint. This belief has now been shown to be false; several algorithms have been proposed that can reconstruct fingerprint images from minutiae templates. In this paper, a novel fingerprint reconstruction algorithm is proposed to reconstruct the phase image, which is then converted into the grayscale image. The proposed reconstruction algorithm ...

...records of attendance from falling out of popularity. Not that people are afraid of going through changes, and certainly not because there aren’t any other alternatives, but only because no one has cared. In reality, this method is fast becoming obsolete; in fact that time is already now. So in contrast with this modern day and age, when most tasks have long since been automated, many may even call this approach still being used in school today as history. The paper method was convenient for a while until it became such a clutter just keeping them. Also, this type of record-keeping is not the most reliable as they are in constant danger of being damaged and being lost in passage or in handling. Records in paper can be cheated too –and trees could have been spared for more reasonable purposes especially when their numbers are thinning down. Manufacturing is more efficient and faster than ever. Not so long ago the components needed for automating the most common systems were being produced in a much slower pace than in today’s standards, which explains too why the cost was higher back then. But nowadays the production shows no sign of slowing down; it is even increasing exponentially. On the other hand, the prices drop down and the demand grows in scale. Thus the same will be true for automating an access and attendance monitoring system: it is not as expensive as one might think. Also it is appropriate in this generation of students that attendance keeping is...

...Performance Support System is “an optimized body of integrated on-line and off-line methods and resources providing what performers need, when they need it, in the form they need it in, so that they can perform in ways that meet organizational objectives” ( Villachica and Stone, 1999) The goal of using a performance support system is expert-like performance from day 1 with little or no training. With the issues facing Brown County in regards to employee time card fraud, the Brown County Board of Commissioners consulted a group of external change agents to do a cost benefit analysis and needs assessment on if a performance system would eliminate the problems facing the Brown County and if so, which system would fit best with the workforce. After extensive research, Brown County decided to implement the Kronos System. The Kronos System is a business process integration tool, that is a completely automated time and attendance solution to reduce labor costs by enforcing pay and work rules; consistently and accurately across the organization. It provides labor-intensive timecard tracking, data entry, and approval processing is simplified. Which will reduce the administrative time associated with attendance exceptions and employee inquiries, all while minimizing overpayments and compliance risk. Having a time clock solution that simply tracks employee punches is only the first step, not the final destination, for reducing payroll inflation and manual errors. Kronos® iSeries®...
