RESERVARUSSAS: uma solução em software para alocação e gerenciamento de reservas de salas e equipamentos

Abstract

This work presents the development of the ReservaRussas system, a software solution aimed at the allocation and management of room and equipment reservations at the Federal University of Ceará - Campus of Russas. The system was conceived based on the identification of operational difficulties in the current processes, which are characterized by the use of different tools such as spreadsheets, adapted systems, and multiple communication channels, resulting in an increased administrative workload and a higher proneness for human errors. The development of this work was based on consolidated practices in Software Engineering, adopting an incremental approach. Requirements elicitation was carried out through semi-structured interviews with the main stakeholders responsible for managing campus facilities, enabling an understanding of administrative routines, sector-specific rules, and the limitations of the systems currently in use. Based on this information, functional and non-functional requirements were defined, as well as business rules, organized according to priority levels. The system was modeled using the Domain-Driven Design (DDD) approach, combined with the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architectural pattern, aiming at a clear separation of responsibilities and the maintenance of domain consistency. Class structures were developed to contain different user profiles, physical environments, equipments, single reservations, recurring allocations, and exceptions, ensuring flexibility and alignment with institutional needs. The selected technologies include the C# programming language, the .NET framework, the PostgreSQL database management system, and the Angular framework for the user interface. As a result, ReservaRussas provides the centralization and standardization of the reservation process, promoting greater transparency, traceability, and efficiency in the management of the campus’s physical resources. Although the system was not deployed in a production environment during the period of this work, the developed solution establishes a solid foundation for future stages of validation, deployment, and continuous evolution according to institutional demands.
