CLOUDSIS: AN APPLICATION OF CLOUD COMPUTING FOR SMART SCHOOL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Abstract
Cloud computing has emerged as a cost-effective solution. Schools have to maintain information regarding students, admin staff, teachers, finances, and community. They also need to immediately communicate between their branches for sharing of this information and resources that may be in remote and less technological developed or metropolitan areas. Traditional school information systems do not support efficient sharing of information between school branches, students, teachers and parents with cost-effectiveness. In this paper, we propose a Cloud-based School Information System (SIS) to manage and infer school related information and an architecture to associate school head office with its branches.
