A sensor interface device is necessary for collecting the sensor data of industrial wireless sensor networks (WSN) in IoT environments. However, the current connect number, sampling rate, and signal types of sensors are generally restricted by the device. Meanwhile, in the Internet of Things (IoT) environment, sensor connected to the interface device needs to write complicated data collection program code. Attendance is one of the important factors that determine the students rendering. An

... tive information system needs to support a set of activities, which enable human beings to achieve effectively the objectives of the organization, supported by computer-based information (CBI) technology. Traditional styles of attendance management include handwritten signatures, magnetic card etc. Apart from traditional attendance systems or paper based attendance system, there is a necessity to build a smart system that decrease load in managing the attendance and improves the performance of colleges, universities and any educational institute. The most common actions in educational organizations involve identification of student, maintenance of student attendance, security of attendance and electrical power conservation at the place where the attendance is taken. In this report, the mentioned topics are covered and it represents how evolving technologies of radio frequency identification (RFID) and wireless sensor network (WSN) can be used for building a smart university. Prototype is developed considering main concerns of a smart university. The system provides effectiveness and efficiency in administering and managing the attendance procedure, hence improving productivity and staff development.
