“…Moreover, examination timetable is schedule that contain information about examination subject, date, time and venue. Examination timetable is produced by universities and colleges for every semester or year examinations in conducting final examination [7]. Student that take final examination will refer timetable to get the details of the examination.…”

Final examination day is the most distress day to all UiTM students. This is because, their knowledge and understanding on the course taken will be officially tested. Therefore, it is important to the student to be alert on the examination schedule and other related information. So that the student could avoid any difficulties such as overlook on the exact date, identify the wrong location and time. However, in real situation, the final examination schedule and its related information are difficult to be retrieved and extracted. To solve this issue, an alert system is required in order to assist the student by reminding them on the examination schedule. Thus, the project which named as Examination Timetable Alert Mobile Application for UiTM Students has been proposed. It was a mobile application based that will alert the students on the final examination schedule for each subject that has been registered. Specific date, time and location of the examination will be provided to help the student to be prepared mental and physical and also manage their time wisely. This mobile application is developed by using Android Studio that followed the Waterfall methodology through the series of different stages. The performance of the proposed application has been evaluated by using the user acceptance test. The preliminary result of this project has shown that, the proposed project will elevate the way of student accessing, viewing and managing their examination timetable effectively.

“…Formalizing time scheduling process is a complex task that involves different reasoning strategies, structures and elements from multiple languages. Several attempts of formalizing time schedules using classical techniques exist in the literature (simulated annealing [6], genetic algorithm [7], Tabu search [8,9], case-based reasoning [10], and graph coloring approach [11,12,13,14]. However, these approaches lack formalization and are not simple to implement needed semantics during problem solving.…”

Time scheduling as seen in timetabling processes with few and/or competing resources has exposed complex interoperable time scheduling. Attempts to resolving these time scheduling processes has been undertaken, using several classical methods, with difficulty due to inherent complexities, constraints and conflicting issues. The use of ontology-based approaches to resolve time complexity is recently adopted due to its ease in interoperability and reuse of data. The probability weighted ontology provides the various types of complexity as a requirement for the complexity reduction. To determine the optimality of the resulting timetable required the evaluation of its criteria using the analytical hierarchy process. The need for a formal representation to explicate the intelligent behaviour of the ontology-based framework of the temporal scheduler arises. Hence, this work is aimed at providing that formal representation of the logical part of the ontology. The basic rules handling the constraints in the timetabling process are outlined with the corresponding formal representations of the interval-based logic using first-order logic. The semantic model of the temporal scheduler is further described following Guarino's formal ontology model. The unified modeling language (UML) design of a system framework prototype that adopts the formal model is also given. Through the formal ontology-based framework, all constraints that will give optimality are explicated and incorporated into the allocation reasoned, which results in an optimal formal ontology-based model. This will ensure reliability, ease of use and the likelihood of re-usability of the resulting timetable.
