Abstract
The Hostel space allocation system is a system developed for use by the Dean of Students. It was developed to be a prototype and was analyzing few major constraints characterizing Students. The system considers males independent from females; allocates bed spaces to students using a number of criteria like students health, the year they are in, the date they applied if they are in first year. The handicapped are given a higher priority than the physically fit. Students in the final year are given a higher priority over the other years because they have to concentrate on their projects. Tliose who applied early are given a higher priority over those who applied late. The other constraint is school performance, students are grouped into three categories. Those who perform highly or students recommended or those students who have B+'s and above in all the courses. Those who perform good but lower than the commended and tliuse who perform low. These constraints are all added up for each student and the final sum of their weights arc ranked from the highest to the lowest. The student having the greatest score gets the ruorn first and so on. The handicapped are allocated on the floor level because of their peculiar health. All these Categories are summed up into: -Health -Year of a student -School Performance -And Time of Application for first years
