Novel Component Based Development Model For Sip-Based Mobile Application
This addresses the need for faster examination processes in educational institutions due to increasing student enrollment, though it appears incremental as it builds on existing mobile and web technologies.
The paper tackles the problem of efficiently assessing large numbers of students in universities by proposing a novel hybrid component-based development model for a SIP-based mobile examination system, which automates activities like exam paper setting and auto-grading to expedite the process.
Universities and Institutions these days' deals with issues related to with assessment of large number of students. Various evaluation methods have been adopted by examiners in different institutions to examining the ability of an individual, starting from manual means of using paper and pencil to electronic, from oral to written, practical to theoretical and many others. There is a need to expedite the process of examination in order to meet the increasing enrolment of students at the universities and institutes. Sip Based Mass Mobile Examination System (SiBMMES) expedites the examination process by automating various activities in an examination such as exam paper setting, Scheduling and allocating examination time and evaluation (auto-grading for objective questions) etc. SiBMMES uses the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) that is an IP communications framework providing an environment for the rapid development of innovative and reusable services Session Initial Protocol (SIP) is a signalling (request-response) protocol for this architecture and it is used for establishing sessions in an IP network, making it an ideal candidate for supporting terminal mobility in the IMS to deliver the services, with the extended services available in IMS like open APIs, common network services, Quality of Services (QoS) like multiple sessions per call, Push to Talk etc often requiring multiple types of media (including voice, video, pictures, and text). SiBMMES is an effective solution for mass education evaluation using mobile and web technology. In this paper, a novel hybrid component based development (CBD) model is proposed for SiBMMES.
