ABSTRACT
Currently, the practice cloud services usage has become significant and essential for all. Cloud services are not
like a webpage it become a wide survive for all kind of people in the world. Computation, storage and services are the
main theme of cloud computing. Cloud services capable of select the best resource, matchmaking, scheduling, fault
tolerance, load balancing and real time applications. This research work employ about real time application in simulation
method. The simulation work does the Job Organization Method using Resource Management Techniques in Cloud
Computing. Nowadays, the Final year project works of worldwide institutions are not maintained in common portal. So the
young researchers’ ideas are not exposing to the world. Some of the researchers are publishing as papers with limited
pages. This service use to make a common unique cloud portal for all kind of peoples in the world. It is support by all
government to maintain a unique portal for project management. Here project as a job. This research work initiates an
application called Unique Cloud Service for project management system for final year project students. The outcome of the
service is capable to perform many operations such as operations of user authentication, reservations systems Final Year
Project, showing the title of projects, download the previous reports, also the application can offers many services as link
for searching engines, also connect to library searches engines. Therefore instructors, staff, students and visitors can get
helpful, easy and fast services based on cloud computing techniques. Resource Management Technique of cloud computing
is to solve this applications and evaluate its performance.

Keywords: final year project management, cloud service, resource management technique, cloud computing, scheduling, advance

previous report in Figure-9. FYP requests that were sent by the students. Through this
page the supervisor can accept or reject the request.

CONCLUSION AND FUTURE DIRECTION

This cloud application was which makes use of
internet services to computerize and schedule some
department tasks such as booking FYP and many other
tasks. Based on this work, learners will learn many things:
about the tasks we considered in our proposed work, such
as: how the processes actually are done. Regarding the
web development environments, we gained a good
experience in many areas of the field, and we learned
many new techniques and skills. Finally we hope this
application will really serve the department to simplify the
Figure-8. FYP booking page. handling of the targeted tasks. We hope it helps
coordinators to manage their works, helps student in
booking process, also helps to get department news easily
which will be displayed in Slides Viewer. For future work,
Implemented as real time service & add more features to
each section.
