@article{Mohd Hussin_Azlan_2017, place={Arau, Malaysia}, title={Matching Final Year Project Topics with Students using Stable Marriage Model}, volume={2}, url={https://jcrinn.com/index.php/jcrinn/article/view/27}, abstractNote={<div><em>Every semester, a new</em></div> <div><em>batch of final year students needs to find a topic and a supervisor to</em></div> <div><em>complete their final year project requirement. The problem with the current approach is that</em></div> <div><em>it is based on first come first serve. So, the pairing between student and supervisor is not</em></div> <div><em>the</em></div> <div><em>optimal ones, i.e. some students may not get their preferred topic or supervisor. Plus, it is also</em></div> <div><em>time consuming for both students and supervisors. The researcher is motivated to solve this</em></div> <div><em>long overdue problem by applying a stable marriage model tha</em></div> <div><em>t is introduced by Gale and</em></div> <div><em>Shapley hence the name Gale</em></div> <div><em>-</em></div> <div><em>Shapley Algorithm. To determine the functionality of this</em></div> <div><em>approach, a system prototype has been constructed and a random dataset is used. The result,</em></div> <div><em>60% of the students get their first choice topics</em></div> <div><em>while the remaining students get their second</em></div> <div><em>or third choice. This is a remarkable outcome considering the time and effort saved compared</em></div> <div><em>to the current process. Therefore, stable marriage model is applicable in solving student</em></div> <div><em>-</em></div> <div><em>topic</em></div> <div><em>pairing.</em></div>}, number={1}, journal={Journal of Computing Research and Innovation}, author={Mohd Hussin, Naimah and Azlan, Ammar}, year={2017}, month={Mar.}, pages={29–35} }
