ASA HUB

Abstract

ASA is the democratic body of Quaid-i-Azam University, which works for the betterment of the academic staff community. To achieve the basic objective of the association is very difficult to do in a manual way. The work of the association is currently being done manually. The basic problem faced by the association is managing the notifications. Different notifications are to be sent by President, Secretary and other office holders of the association. It is difficult to maintain the record of ASA and account details. The ASA members have no proper platform for discussing the topics related to ASA. No such system exists to reduce the burden of managing the whole workflow of the association. Therefore system has been designed and develops which provides services, namely, notification management, a discussion forum for discussing topics related to ASA, members account management facility, and online or virtual meeting service. This system is a web-based application, therefore, the system has been implemented in ASP.NET 4.5 along with MS SQL Server Management server database. In order to access the system, users should have specific usernames and passwords. No external hardware is required to maintain the value of the system. The possible outcomes of the system that is would be time-saving and reduce the burden of manual work. Notification of ASA will be well managed and overcomes the burden of keep records. Yearly expenditure report of ASA will be managed and it also overcomes the meeting problem through online meeting facility and members will have a proper forum for discussing issues related to the association. The system has a feature of maintainability in order to meet the future works. This system is for only for QAU limited to one organization and in future work, it can be extended to other organizations as well.
