Senior Project - ConfesK

The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) is part of a collaborative community dedicated to understanding the atmosphere -- the air around us -- and the interconnected processes that make up the Earth system, from the ocean floor to the Sun's core. NCAR provides research, facilities, and services for the atmospheric and Earth sciences community and is managed by the nonprofit University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR).

In the process of pursuing NCAR's mission, employees need to schedule the various rooms located at a number of different NCAR sites. An existing room reservation system had been in use for over eight years, but had slowly become difficult to use and maintain and lacked new features desired by the user community. The goal of this project was to provide a more functional, more maintainable and easy-to-use web-based room reservation system.

The system allows users to view and manage reservation and setup information without administrator intervention. Additional features include finding available rooms, repeated reservations, and automatic reservation confirmation. The system was developed in Java and uses the PostgreSQL relational database.
