6CHAPTER IIREVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIESThis chapter contains the researched review done by the proponents about therelated ideas regarding the proposed system. It includes the differences and similaritiesfound among other Computerized Enrollment System. This chapter constitutes more on thestudy of the System Literature Side. It also covers the related view and ideas presentingother enrollment system made possible by other proponents and programmers. To reviewencompasses the critical aspect of all enrollment system study. Foreign StudiesThe on-line student enrollment system by M.Smith (2005), enables students to enrollinto their subjects prior to the commencement of their semesters. This enrollment systemnot only allows international students to enroll through internet without traveling tothecampus but also incorporate the business rules. These business rules cover a wide range ofregulations and policy such as subject pre-requisite, student’s payment status, coursecoordinator’s decision and the correspondence of students’ seniority to the intendedenrolling subjects. Besides business rules, the system also incorporates various notificationmechanisms like Short Messaging Service (SMS) and E-mail. XML is used to store businessrules and this allows the portability of the system interface to wider range of devices such asPersonal Device Assistant (PDA). The interface auto-detects the user’s device either PC/laptop or much smaller screen device such as PDA. In short, the enrolment systembackend engine runs based on the business rules and front-end engine runs to provide highsatisfaction user experience. With the business and user interface, the system is able to runthe workflow of the student enrolment from the online enrolment form to approval workflowcycle running in parallel with the notification capability.
