Implementation of novel faculty e-services for workflow automatization

Abstract

This paper presents a brief overview of the concepts for collaboration between various systems developed for the Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering in Skopje. Web technologies such as the HTTP, originally designed for human-tomachine communication, is utilized for machine-to-machine communication, more specifically for transferring machine-readable data in web service formats such as JSON. By using this kind of web technology and communication we can create various software applications suitable for various needs.This kind of web based software applications enable automatization and drastically eased and accelerated the entire procedure whose initial steps in the past was manually. This paper gives a brief overview of two novel systems which are integrated in the faculty software architecture. Software’s for master thesis submission and student surveys are integrated as a part of the core systems. The system’s network is collaborating using web services, central authentication services and data sharing which is based on cross-platform interfaces.
