ASA Hub

Abstract

Academic Staff Association Hub (ASA Hub) is an association for academic faculty of Quaid e Azam University Islamabad. In ASA, academic faculty is member of association. The working of association is to conduct meetings to discuss the different issues related to their services, send notifications to members about meeting, and keep records of meetings and members. ASA annually organize voting for president, vice president, secretary and general secretary to elect new committee of association. All members cast their vote to elect the committee. All members of organization give some amount for the working process of organization. All these activities are performed manually because the organization has no any online forum or system. Therefore, in our project, we have implemented an online system for the association named as ASA Hub. This system performs all the activities for ASA in which members of the organization can discuss different matters online related to their services with each other. General Secretary of organization can add new notifications about meetings, keep the whole record of members and meeting records of the association. General Secretary creates the account for new members of the organization and sends them username and password through email. After receiving username and password members can manage their profiles according to their choice and can edit their profile. President, vice president, secretary and general secretary of organization can be elected by the online voting system, in which members of the organization can cast their vote by online voting poll according to their choice. Librarian handles all the polling system and at the end announces the voting results. President of organization can preside the meetings online and members can join the meetings online. Meeting records about meeting topics can be saved for future. As this project is large and has many modules so this project is divided into two groups. In my part, the modules are Profile management of users, E Voting, and meeting records, login, signup, password reset and in my partner’s part; the modules are Discussion Forum, Notification Management, Virtual Meetings and Account Treasures. To implement this project freely available tools Visual studio for asp.net framework and sql server to store database are used. As this project is a web-based project, the framework used is ASP.Net with c# programming language. The server used is windows default server IIS (Internet Information Services) Manger to run the asp.net code. This project is implemented in professional way according to rules of software engineering and it is covering all the features required to ASA.
