By Shahabuddin Amerudin Abstract This paper presents the development of a web-based application designed to automate the matching process between students and supervisors. The application leverages a weighted scoring algorithm to evaluate compatibility based on various academic and professional criteria. The system aims to improve the efficiency and fairness of assigning supervisors by using a data-driven approach. The implementation involves PHP for server-side logic, JavaScript for client-side interaction, and JSON for data storage. This paper provides an overview of the development process, details of the algorithm, and examples demonstrating the application’s functionality. Introduction The process of assigning students to supervisors […]

Developing an Automated Student-Supervisor Matching System for Academic Institutions: A Case Study

By Shahabuddin Amerudin Abstract The allocation of supervisors to students for research guidance is a critical process in academic institutions, particularly at the undergraduate level. This paper presents the development of an automated matching system designed to streamline the process of assigning students to supervisors based on their research interests and competencies. The system leverages JSON-based data storage and a weighted matching algorithm implemented in PHP, ensuring that the matching process is efficient, transparent, and data-driven. The study discusses the system’s design, implementation, and potential impact on academic administration. 1. Introduction The process of matching students with supervisors is often
