Small professional organizations: An artificially intelligent layered architecture of Human Resources Automation

The paper presents an architecture of automatic, intelligent and self-sustaining Attendance/Human Resources Automation system, which can be deployed anywhere including schools, colleges, offices etc. It is composed of four layers namely Real Time Identification Layer (R.T.I. layer), Real Time Data Communication Layer (R.T.D.C Layer), Human Computer Interaction Layer (H.C.I Layer), Database Management and Processing Layer (D.M.P Layer). The automation system is cost-effective and easily maintainable. It combines RFID (based on IEEE 802.15.4 protocol, 2.4 GHz ISM band), GSM and wireless Zigbee (802.15.4) technologies along with MATLAB and Excel. This paper tries to establish a general architecture and a basic overview of how automation of human management in a professional organization can be done. The proposed system's major advantage over the existing systems is wireless communication, its Real Time Data Acquisition and Processing and MATLAB software-hardware interface. The system contains an integrated Real Time Clock chip interfaced to microcontroller from which time of attendance is taken.
