Purpose
“How many people here actually know where they’re going?”
Purpose
“Are you making the most of your time at the career fair?”
PurposeTo develop a pervasive system to help
students manage their time better while at the job fair by picking out the best booth to go to based onLine length/CongestionEmployer/Student requirements
SolutionCreate a system where students can “check
in” at booths to inform system that he/she is waiting in that booth’s respective queue
Inform students in which order they should visit booths based on set algorithm
How do we go about this?Students query the server through swipe of
RFID card
Students are informed via text message, screen display, or printout
SoftwareClient/Server system for check-in/out and text
messagingBest fit algorithm for deciding employer visit orderEmployer’s interface for use on their laptops
On-board programWeb-interface
Terminal printing
*Note not all of these will necessarily be implemented in the system

What We’ve Done So FarTested components of our system
Prototype PHP codeWeb interface prototypeMySQL initial database prototype
Bought Components and tested themLaptopsRFID Readers
What we are planning to doCreating Web Interfaces
Finish design of database tables
Purchase/obtain more RFID readers
Setup Communications
Implement fully functional matching algorithm
Using RFID technology, PHP, and a MySQL database the system will help students visit more prospective employers by keeping track of how many people are in the various employer’s lines and sending students to the shortest line based on set criteria.
