Automated Academic Query Management System

Description

The Automated Academic Query Management System is a comprehensive solution designed to streamline the management of academic queries using an automated rule-based reasoning engine. Developed using Java Swing for the user interface and JDBC for database interactions, the system helps automate query processing with Drools for efficient rule-based reasoning, providing fast and accurate responses to academic-related inquiries.

Key Features

• Automated Query Handling: Automatically processes academic queries with predefined rules using Drools.
• User-Friendly Interface: Built with Java Swing to provide an intuitive interface for both students and administrators.
• Rule-Based Reasoning Engine: Leverages Drools for automated reasoning and decision-making based on academic query patterns.
• Database Connectivity: Uses JDBC for secure and efficient interaction with the backend database.
• Scalable & Customizable: Supports additional rules and easy modifications for future enhancements.

Technology Stack

• Frontend: Java Swing
• Backend: Java, JDBC
• Database: MySQL (or any relational database)
• Rule Engine: Drools (for rule-based reasoning)
• Version Control: Git

Prerequisites

To run this project, you will need:

• Java Development Kit (JDK 8 or higher)
• MySQL Database (or any other RDBMS)
• Drools Rule Engine
• Maven (for managing dependencies)

Installation and Setup

Clone the Repository:

git clone cd automated-academic-query-system

Configure the Database:

• Set up a MySQL database and update the database configuration in the project files.
• You may need to configure the connection details (username, password) in the JDBC connection file.

Install Drools:

• Download and install the Drools engine by adding the Drools dependencies to the pom.xml file (Maven):

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.kie</groupId>
    <artifactId>drools-core</artifactId>
    <version>7.48.0.Final</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.kie</groupId>
    <artifactId>drools-compiler</artifactId>
    <version>7.48.0.Final</version>
</dependency>

Build the Project:

Use Maven to install the necessary dependencies and build the project:

mvn clean install

Run the Application:

Once the dependencies are set up and the database is configured, you can run the project through your IDE or via the command line:

java -jar target/automated-academic-query-system.jar

Usage

• Student Interface: Allows students to submit academic queries, check responses.
• Admin Interface: Enables admins to manage incoming queries, monitor responses, and define rules in the Drools-based system for automated query handling.
• Automated Query Processing: The system processes and resolves queries based on predefined rules, providing quick and accurate responses without manual intervention.
