In response to education regulations for quality assurance (QA), universities in Indonesia strongly require an integrated management information system (MIS), such as Academic MIS (AMIS). In developing AMIS, the main issues that must be addressed are the urgent need for implementing university QA standards (even though departments have already implemented their best practices for years and show reluctance to change), changing requirements, and the need for a quick delivery system despite the fact that AMIS is very large in scope. This paper contributes to modeling AMIS, which is suitable for universities in Indonesia. This research has been conducted at one of the best private universities, Parahyangan Catholic University. Having measured the quality of AMIS using several key business measures, results indicated that the proposed model successfully resolved the issues at stake.

Developing Academic IS (AIS) for HEIs is a highly complex task as many issues need to be resolved, such as how to provide course registration transaction function that provide speedy access for thousands of students. This paper discusses the function design to resolve the issue, which involves database physical, algorithm of data pre-processing for course eligibility computation and personalized user interface design. The design has been implemented in the AIS and used in Parahyangan Catholic University Indonesia successfully.Keywords-academic information systems, speedy course registration function, physical database design. I. INTRODUCTIONThe use of online Academic Information System (AIS) in the higher education institutions (HEIs) has been becoming necessity in order to provide better services for the students (to access information 24/7 online) as well as to increase the institutions efficiencies. However, developing AIS for HEIs is a highly complex task as many issues need to be resolved (see our previous research result [1] in order to obtain a high quality product. As stated in [2], to manage IS quality, quality checklist and metrics must be defined, which could be stated as critical success factors (CFS), where must be defined in the requirement stage and then resolved in the next stages. We have formulated CFS for AIS where it states that AIS must provide speedy course registration transaction (with elapsed time is at most 1 second) and easy-user friendly interface for the students [1].To achieve the performance standard, the main challenge is: While the function might be executed by hundreds of concurrent students, it must also perform complex computation in determining the course eligibility for each student with lots of access to the SIA database tables (as the eligibility would be determined based on their past grades, courses enrolled, etc.). Therefore, the research is aimed to find the function design that meets the performance standard. Although AIS has been widely needed, through literature study, there are only very limited research results, such as presented in [3]. We find no research result discussing such function design that must be resolved by specific approaches.
