Problem Statement

The process of thesis writing can play a significant role to a student’s life. So much consideration is required during this process, from the topic selection to final submission. Hard work, proper research and writing skills are obligatory for a successful outcome. The existing bureaucracy adds more complexity to thesis procedure, since thesis topics are not gathered in a specific website. Therefore each student have to contact every professor separately to learn his available thesis or in best case to visit professor’s website if he has uploaded them there. Moreover, every professor has many thesis topics assigned to supervised students and the tracking of their progress is difficult.

Abstract

I propose the development of a web application that will support the whole lifecycle of a thesis creation, namely, a Thesis Management System(TMS) that will benefit the students as well as the professors. This proposed system aims at eliminating the time consuming procedures and paper work at the very basic level by encapsulating and automating them with in the web app. MoreoverTMS will provide the functionality of an open source digital repository of completed theses, where the student authors can share their work to a wide audience and may be cited more easily by companies and researchers in their academic community.
