According to the secretariat of the 54th World Physics Olympiad, the holding of this event is followed by various committees such as support, scientific, information and international, cultural, procurement, welfare, extra-curricular, test execution and media, and one of the most important issues is establishing easy communication and It is a quick transfer of information and status among the members of different committees.
A group of graduates of Isfahan University of Technology, at the request of the executive committee of this event, designed and presented the "Kaaj" software in the shortest time to facilitate the necessary communication and coordination, which will be used by various committees in IPhO2024.
Regarding the idea of ​​designing this software, Dr. Maryam Hassanvand, the person in charge of the admissions and management committee of executive forces, said: The idea of ​​designing the software was proposed due to the amount of work, the variety of tasks, and the performance of different tasks in different places and in order to manage human resources.
She continued: We also wanted a software whose database and server were inside the university and which could perform the necessary tasks in a personalized manner.
The official of the management committee of the executive forces of the Olympiad added: the usual market software used for project management was also reviewed for this, but it did not have the necessary flexibility for the goals of this event.
Pointing out that the "Pine" software can be used in other events as well, she said: This software is designed to be very flexible and not only for the Olympiad, but in its design, it has been tried to define different roles and tasks that According to the needs, it has the ability to change and develop.
Hasanvand added: This software can be used by any of the executive committees, and the managers of the committees can enter the tasks of different people in the software in specific time frames, and in addition to organizing and dividing tasks, they can fully monitor the activities.
In relation to the ability to announce the alarm status in the software, she said: one of the positive features of the software is that in case of any emergency problem, people can announce the current situation to their supervisor and all their upstream managers by just sending a warning signal. And the problem can be solved in the shortest possible time, also the location of people can be seen in the software.
