Abstract:
Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly changing the way we interact and gain
information about ourselves and external world. Smart Transportation, Smart
Energy, Smart Healthcare and Smart Waste Management are few of the
areas where IoT has been proven to be cost-effective and efficient in tackling
the inherent problems and weaknesses. Based on the IoT paradigm, a
prototype of a cloud-based end-to-end Smart Attendance System has been
developed which attempts to solve the problems of manual attendance
system prevalent in school and colleges by performing automated attendance
record generation, reporting, monitoring and alert generation for different
stakeholders of the educational institute. To reduce the overall time required
to take the attendance in the class the attendance device is made portable, so
that it can be easily circulated among students to mark their attendance. The
system has been tested and results are encouraging to catapult further study
and research in this area.
Due to a decrease in the cost of computing devices, sensors and internet there has been a
constant growth and interest in the area of Internet of Things. Internet of Things at its core
tries to address the real-world problems by adding sensing, processing and networking
capability to the things which ordinarily do not have these capabilities. By adding these
capabilities, a Thing becomes an IoT device, which makes it capable of communicating
information with external devices and sending data to outside world which enables smart
processing of data and autonomous decisions. Consequently, IoT plays a key role in the
development of different useful application in areas like transportation, environment, health
etc. [1]
