CHAPTER 3
METHODOLOGY
The general course scheduling problem, objectives and scope of our study were
presented in chapter 1. This chapter presents the plan and the phases of analyzing,
designing and implementing the proposed course scheduling system.
3.1 System Development
In order to obtain the expected objectives, we will follow the six phases below:
3.1.1 Phase 1: Systems Analysis
a) To verify the requirements and the objectives of the study.
b) To choose the tools and software to be used to develop the system.
3.1.2 Phase 2: Design
a) To study the genetic algorithms and grid computing environment.
b) To specify the proposed system.
c) To design the interfaces and the module’s functions.
d) To design the database.
e) To design a prototype for connecting between users and the system.
3.1.3 Phase 3: Implementation
a) To study the genetic algorithms and grid computing environment.
b) To install the correct software to develop the system.
c) To install the database.
d) To implement the prototype for connecting between users and the
system.
e) To implement the designed modules.
3.1.4 Phase 4: Testing
a) To test the system.
b) To run a demonstration.
c) To do some evaluations on the effectiveness of the system.
