Recommender and Supporting System of Project study in Information Technology According to Students Proficiency and Market Demand Using Ontology and Existing Project Works

Abstract

The study on a supporting and advising system for the topic of information technology project aimed to collect data on the system and process of project development as preparedness for Open Data. This system enabled university students to identify an individual study/thesis/project’s topic in the area of information technology that would meet their interests and labour market. The system also provides a source of information for lecturers and advisors who can ensure the topic’s duplication with others. The system has been designed into 3 parts, including 1) all sources of reports and projects on information technology were compiled and developed for a database together with all references, 2) systematic and universal storage for data structure was created for the future artificial intelligence, and 3) a data system was designed to help support teaching and learning in information technology projects by using ontology. The results from the test showed that the system had high accuracy and the users were able to make use of the system in searching for previous projects for appropriate references, seeking the right advisor, and applying for jobs. Moreover, the satisfaction of users was at good levels.
