CSLA – An application using Android
Capstone Project
This paper presents the class and staff Locator
Application (CSLA) using Android Capstone Project.
Locating staff and class room for the students in school,
colleges or universities is a challenging task. CSLA helps
to locates staff and class room based on the time table
data provided to the application. As such, the application
will save time of students during the study hours.
Currently, this locator application is being tested at Guru
Nanak Dev Engineering College (GNDEC), Ludhiana for
use in future.
With the convergence of traditional computers and
mobile telephony, the new smart devices capable of
running customized applications have been on the rise.
These smart devices uses Android (the first
comprehensive open source operating system)
equipped with Dalvik virtual machine and Linux
kernel. It is a platform that allows developers to
develop and design applications which can turn simple
cell phones into smart phones. https://arudhrainnovations.com/project-center-in-kumbakonam/ Usually, people use
their smart phones for social networking, business
activities and various other purposes.
There is a need
for educational establishments to embrace this new
mode of information dissemination. The developed
system is going to help the students to locate their class
rooms and staff according to the time table. Global
Positioning System (GPS) and Google Maps is also
integrated with CSLA which help users to follow the
exact path to reach their desired destination.
In year 2011, A Gomez-Goiri et al., proposed an
application that reduces mobility of disabled person in
supermarket as it maps all the products with the
supermarket map [1]. In the year 2014, Karan Punjabi
et al., proposed a bus locator via Short Message
Service (SMS) android application which automates all
aspects related to college bus arrival. It uses GPS
receiver to get the current location of the Bus and SMS
to inform the registered students when bus is near their
destination [2]. In the year 2012, Diego Gargallo Tarin
developed an application ‘UJI Smart Campus: the
Place Finder’ which allows users to locate people and
place in the campus. The application provides a base
map with every room that locates rooms and connects
peoples and displays them on a map [3]. In 2013,
M.F.A Abdullah et al., presented a paper which
proposed application ‘GPS and SMS based child
tracking system’. It uses GPS and SMS based services
that help parents to track children, parents need to send
SMS to child phone to get his location [4]. In year
2012, Yizheng Liao et al., in his paper presents a
library automation application that uses image processing algorithm to search for book in the library[5]. In
year 2012, Michael Austin et al., in his paper proposed
navigational instructions for locations on the campus of
‘Elizabeth City State University’, it uses GPS to get the
location and tell the way to be followed to reach
destination in university [6]. In year 2012, Birhanu
Hailemariam developed an application ‘Received
Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) based indoor localization system’ that uses existing wireless facility to
locate a target object in indoor environment. The
sensor reading used for the location estimation is the
RSSI measured from the Access Points (APs) [7].
GNDEC face the challenging task of locating class
rooms according to the new time table with the fall of
new semester. They have to manually write schedule
for their class rooms which is time consuming.
Departments put up notices on the notice board for
time tables. Students need to view map of the campus
to locate class rooms. In manual system single class
room can be allocated to more than one class
simultaneously. Drawbacks of the manual system can
be overcome by the CSLA. The application can be
easily accessed by the user at any time.
