BOOKAZOR - an Online Appointment Booking System

Abstract

Bookazor is an appointment booking and scheduling web-based application which is used for booking appointments in the streams of parlor, hospitals and architects within a defined geographic area. This application is streamlined in an ionic basis. It is an open source SDK for hybrid mobile application development. It uses technologies like CSS, HTML, and JavaScript. Firebase plays a vital role in fetching data for appointment scheduling that helps to enhance application development effectively. It provides functionalities like analytics, database, messaging, and crash reporting which helps in focusing the users. The system includes NodeJS for storing the number of requests, each of which specifies a sequence of regions to be visited by a particular user. NodeJS server is used for offering appointments at specified times, using the table to check for availability of operatives in specified regions at specified times, and for inserting new jobs in the routes to reflect booked appointments. A scheduler periodically updates the routes e.g. by means of a simulated annealing process, to generate a new set of appointments and prevents duplication.
