Abstract
The process of final project research consultations is now often done by making a
schedule to meet with supervisors within the time set by students and supervisors. It
is known that the consultation process by the way it is done now still has problems
from the effectiveness of student research time and the distance between the research
center and the location of the supervisor. With these problems resulted in students
not being timely in conducting research consultations with their supervisors.
Therefore, a system is needed that can provide a system of research consultations
remotely using internet facilities that are integrated with the consultation notification
system via the SMS Gateway. The methodology is built using the phases of context
diagrams, data flow diagrams and entity relationships. The system is built using PHP
programming, mySQL database and Gammu. The results of the final project
consultation information system research integrated with the notification system
using the SMS Gateway have produced several tables and forms, namely student
forms, lecturer forms, consultation forms and document forms. The form has been
able to provide a remote consultation system using web media and has been able to
provide notification to students and lecturers regarding the consultation status using
the SMS gateway service. It is expected that this information system can facilitate
students and lecturers in conducting more effective and efficient consultations.

Abstrak
Proses konsultasi penelitian proyek akhir saat ini sering dilakukan dengan cara
membuat jadwal bertemu dengan supervisor dalam waktu yang telah ditetapkan oleh
mahasiswa dan supervisor. Diketahui bahwa proses konsultasi dengan cara seperti
yang dilakukan saat ini masih mempunyai permasalahan dari efektifitas waktu
penelitian mahasiswa dan jarak antara pusat penelitian dan lokasi supervisor.
Akibatnya mahasiswa tidak tepat waktu dalam melakukan konsultasi penelitian
dengan supervisornya. Maka diperlukan sebuah sistem yang dapat memberikan
sistem konsultasi penelitian secara jarak jauh menggunakan internet yang
diintegrasikan sistem notifikasi konsultasi melalui SMS Gateway. Metodelogi yang
dibangun menggunakan tahapan diagram kontek, data flow diagram dan entity
relationship. Sistem dibangun menggunakan pemrograman PHP, database mySQL
dan Gammu. Hasil penelitian ini telah menghasilkan beberapa tabel dan form yaitu
form mahasiswa, form dosen, form konsultasi dan form dokumen. Dari form tersebut
telah memberikan sistem konsultasi jarak jauh menggunakan media web dan telah
dapat memberikan notifikasi pemberitahuan kepada mahasiswa dan dosen mengenai
status konsultasi menggunakan layanan SMS gateway dan dapat mempermudah
mahasiswa dan dosen dalam melakukan konsultasi yang lebih efektif dan efesien.

1. Introduction
The final project is one of the tasks aimed at final year students who have completed
all courses provided by the campus. Besides that, the final project aims to demonstrate
the ability of students to implement courses that have been studied in the form of research.
With this research, students can build analysis and design in a case in real activities in the
world of work.
In carrying out the final project, one or two supervisors are needed who can direct
students to work on the research. A student in carrying out this final project research is
required to conduct consultations frequently until the research is completed with his
supervisor.
The process of final project research consultations is now often done by making a
schedule to meet with supervisors within the time set by students and supervisors. It is
known that the consultation process by the way it is done now still has problems from the
effectiveness of student research time and the distance between the research center and
the location of the supervisor. With these problems resulted in students not being timely
in conducting research consultations with their supervisors. Therefore, a system is needed
that can provide a system of research consultations remotely using internet facilities that
are integrated with the consultation notification system via the SMS Gateway.
Based on the problems faced above, this paper aims to explain the making of the final
project consultation information system integrated notification system using the SMS
Gateway.

2. Literature Review
The use of information technology today has provided many benefits to the
community. With information technology, data obtained from the public can be processed
into information in a short time. Information technology cannot produce fast decision
information without the presence of optimal hardware systems and software systems [1].
The final stage of processing data into information that is distributed to the public is the
interface. The web is a popular information system interface that is easily accessible to
the public today [2].
Several studies related to information technology such as information systems have
been developed by previous researchers. Among several studies there are information
systems related to business such as business management information systems in terms
of buying and selling community-generated plantation commodities [3]. Besides that,
information systems not only in business information systems will management
information systems have been applied to health clinic information systems such as
patient medical record information systems integrated with queuing systems. [4]. And
information systems that are applied to schools such as scheduling systems and study
hours change notifications [5]. And the application to the education system in campus
environments such as information systems proposing final project supervisors for
students [6]. From some research that has been done, the dominant interface used is the
web. This is because the web is an interface that can be used in various platforms to make
it easier for users of various information systems [7].
In addition to web media as an information system interface, to build an information
system, as will be built in this paper, a notification of the latest data updates from
information using GSM technology is required, namely the SMS Gateway service.
The use of the SMS Gateway system has been carried out in the application of
information systems that aim to provide information remotely such as a house fire

NOTIFICATION SYSTEM BASED ON SMS GATEWAY

information system that provides notification of symptoms of fire through SMS [8] and
some of them are SMS gateway applications on home security systems [9][10]. On the
other hand there is an SMS Gateway application that notifies inventory of goods that have
run out [11].

3. Method
The methodology carried out on the construction of this system uses two stages,
namely system analysis and system design. In system analysis there are context diagrams
and in system design using data flow diagrams (DFD).

3.1 Analysis System

System analysis built can be described in the context diagram Figure 1. Context
diagram explains that there are three users who access the information system with a
specific task, namely the admin is tasked to input data of students and lecturers. Students
make uploads of final project revision data and access correction data from lecturers along
with SMS notification upload correction data from lecturers. Whereas lecturers can
upload final project correction data along with accessing revised data and receive
notification SMS uploading data from students.

3.2 Design System

System design built on this information system in the form of data flow diagrams
(DFD) seen in Figure 2 where the admin inputs student data and stores it in D1 - student.
admin input lecturer data and save it to D2 - lecturer. Students enter consultation data by
accessing lecturer and student data and save to D3 - consultation. And lecturers enter
consultation data by accessing student and lecturer data and save it on D4-document.

Gateway has produced several tables and forms, namely student forms, lecturer forms,
consultation forms and document forms. The form has been able to provide a remote
consultation system using web media and has been able to provide notification
notifications to students and lecturers regarding the consultation status using the SMS
gateway service. It is expected that this information system can facilitate students and
lecturers in conducting more effective and efficient consultations.
