SMS Voting System
Chapter I
Introduction
A computer is a device or machine for making calculations or controlling operations that are explainable in numerical or logical terms. Computers are constructed from components that perform simple well-define functions. The complex interactions of these components provide computers with the ability to process information. If correctly configured, a computer can be made to represent some aspect of a problem or part of a system. If a computer configured in this way is given appropriate input data, then it can automatically solve the problem. The development of technology, (in terms of computing), have unexpectedly alter the means of making the world a better place to live into something far greater. From old to modern computing systems, things have become more convenient and accurate of tracking progress, communication, etc. and are still unceasingly discovering new innovations, being more distinct and better than the previous systems made. If you have ever heard the phrase, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” then you know by judging a beauty pageant must be quiet subjective. There is no exact science in judging a beauty competition. There are some vague guidelines judges follow that are commonly unique to each pageant system depending on the different criteria the contestants must meet. A beauty pageant or beauty contest is a competition that mainly focuses on the physical beauty of its contestants, although such contest also incorporate personality, intelligence, talent, and answers to judges; questions as judged criteria. Tabulating and voting system with SMS gateway is an effective way for scoring a contestant, voting a contestant through text, calculating of votes, and delivering an exact calculation of over-all votes. However in some school, the scoring of the contestants is done manually by the judges. Students also don’t have the chance to vote for their desired contestants. And who ever gets the high rank will be the
