WASN and Robotics Lab Online Management System

Our aim is to introduce an effective and efficient system to UCSC WASN and Robotics lab instead of its general procedure which is currently used, in order to manage the lab activities and allocate important resources. Also allocate equipments them who are currently doing projects.

UCSC (University of Colombo School of Computing) was started in 2002 and WASN (Wireless ad-hoc and sensor network) and robotic labs are one of the most important labs in this faculty. This lab supply equipment to group projects and researches, but for do this process it is hard to find out equipments, research & students’ details.

This web application can be accessed through the Internet by user. User can

be different and they can access to the system according to their authorization

levels.

At the very beginning phases we gathered information about the current

functional procedures of the WASN and Robotic lab, work flow of each

procedure, managing lab resources and equipment, collect details about the

lab resources, Facility to store and retrieve Information about researches. And

about the problems the users faced in working with the existing system.

The Goal and Objectives:

·        Managing the activities of WASN and Robotics lab and allocating lab resources methodically

·        To collect the details of the lab equipment and the update the information conveniently

·        Manage group project activities in Lab.

·        Facility to store and retrieve Information about researches

·        Make a good way to communicate with students, past students, etc.

·        Collaborate with past students and getting their ideas support.

·        Make a lab report easily.

Main functionalities of the system:

·        A public interface to introduce the lab and its functions including notices and collaboration opportunities

·        Different user categories having different roles and authorization levels

·        Keep details (including vendors) of equipment and other hardware items in the lab under different categorizations (consumable and inventory, tools, electronic modules, etc.)

     ·        Keep a list of vendors and a wish list of items

·        Track the use and condition of equipment and hardware items

·        Allow users to create blog discussions about certain equipment and hardware items, e.g., how to use the Arduino motor shield

·        Registering students to the lab and handle communication between students and administrators

·        Allow lab administrator to create schedules for lab practical including allocation of hardware items and to inform students about schedules

·        Produce various reports

·        An interface to connect past students to the lab including project ideas, comments, and other support

Overview of the system:

This system will be developed to fulfill user requirements which we

identified. Some requirements which we identified as major requirements are

mentioned below.

 ·        Actor’s and lab details handling.

 ·        Managing and accessing details of resource people.

 ·        Managing clients’ requirements

 ·        This web application can be accessed through the Internet by user

 ·        User can be different and they can access to the system according to their

           authorization levels.

 ·       This lab supply equipment to group projects and researches.
