Abstract
The existing conventional attendance system requires students to manually provide their signature on the attendance sheet. The drawback of this conventional method is the loss of time in jotting down the attendance, leading to human error and cheating issues and the inability of capturing and storing the attendance record for other essential university activities. In this project, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)-enabled Smart Attendance Management System (RFID-SAMS) will be designed to cater to the limitation of the conventional attendance system. The RFID-SAMS system function to enrolled students and staff data and course related information, record and monitor students’ attendance and their movement during any courses attended. Its ability to uniquely identify each person based on their RFID tag type of ID card make the process of taking the attendance easier, faster and secure as compared to conventional method. The uniqueness of RFID-SAMS is the capability to detect any duplication RFID event readings and miss readings. In addition, this system has been enhanced to cater the latest ubiquitous technology such as the mobile devices, which are Window Phone and Windows Surface RT. The overall system provides an efficient, accurate and portability solution and work well for the real-life attendance environment within the university.
