Building a Laboratory management system at Danang College of Information Technology

Abstract

The majority of computer labs at today's academic institutions face a common set of challenges in security, operations management, schedule management and managerial decision support. These challenges cause significant direct losses, which can be attributed to factors such as lack of access control and interaction between lecturer and lab employees. Moreover, there are substantial costs related to workstation downtime, sub-optimal work schedules, poor employee supervision, and inefficient occupancy management. We propose a system which is an integrated Computer Lab Management System that can turn a primarily manual lab management business into a flawless automated and highly efficient operation. Whereas, the system provides different information required about each laboratory such as hardware, software, schedules. It will help both the staff and lecturers managing hardware laboratories and the management process. The system was developed at the Danang College of Information Technology, and according to experiment result, this proposed system meets the lab management system criteria
