Abstract
Taking attendance in schools is an important daily activity which is directly related to students’ academic performance. Traditional roll-call-based or signature-based approaches for attendance keeping are cumbersome, time consuming, and susceptible to manual errors and fraudulent maneuvers. With a view to digitalizing the process of taking and maintaining attendance record, in this paper, we present a distributed approach to attendance management using smartphones and cloud computing web services that offer high degree security and scalability. The main objective in developing the proposed attendance management system has been an implementation that does not rely on any dedicated infrastructure, and hence reduces cost as much as possible, enabling a wide range of organizations regardless of size and budgetary constraints to adopt such a system. It goes without saying that such cost reduction is inherently associated with some trade-offs which are also discussed in the paper.
