Web Service for Academic Information Systems

Abstract

This research has the goal of creating an academic information system based on web service or Application Programming Interface (API). We use API, so that information systems are easily accessed and applied to cross platforms such as websites, desktop applications, mobile applications, and others. The descriptive analysis method was used in this study to analyze the requirements contained in the built system. Other than that, we used the waterfall method as a model approach in software development. The final results of this study can help in the management of academic data. These results can be achieved because all information is processed and presented online and accessed through cross platforms. Besides, if universities are advanced, this system is more comfortable to develop because it uses the API. Hopefully, this research result can contribute to the Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher Education data management regulation.
