Supervisor Matching System

Client: ???, Computer Lab <???@cl.cam.ac.uk>

Finding supervisors for courses is difficult. The CL runs a wiki where supervisors can indicate their interest for specific courses, but the information quickly becomes stale. The CL would like a web-based system that allows potential supervisors to mark all courses they are able to supervise along with preferences for numbers (and perhaps college), and which indicates their remaining capacity for the relevant period. It should provide easy data entry and a convenient view for DoSes to see who is supervising what and when. When the core is complete, there are a variety of extensions envisaged.
