Smart Agent Based Search For Admission In Institutions of higher learning

Abstract

Early admission systems saw people applying to universities by filling out applications forms and placing them in suitable envelopes and sending them through the local postal agency. This was not considered to be cost or time effective, and this method was also not efficient. This system however needed some improvement due to the huge workload on administrators. So researchers a nd software developers improved the system so that between 1999 and 2008 application and admission was done via the Internet. Also many Ranking system like ARWU, shanghai etc. been used for ranking the universities and colleges around the world which wouldenable people choosing the universities and colleges for education on factors like publication, funding, infrastructure and so. The Internet has already brought the humans together in a new, exciting, and unexpected ways, and the same is also happening toour prevalent adoption of digital mobile devices that has paved the way for the development of many innovative applications in the commercial domain. While considering such mobile devices for an application towards higher education in an educational insti tution, there has been some amount of work done using intelligent agents. But still those agent based systems got some drawbacks which motivated towards developing the present Agent based system to provide Smart agent based system for higher Learning search not in Jamaican context alone but also elsewhere with these drawbacks alleviated. The agents developed will be based on using fuzzy preference rules and heuristics, to make accurate decisions based on the user’s criteria or specifications using JADE-LEAP on Android handset. The system got Google map feature, intelligence in admission system and also warning for universities with low rating. These findings of this research will be presented as screenshots.
