Abstract:
Universities throughout the world operate with large amounts of data, typically scattered across multiple, noncentralized
information systems and applications. Support of administrative decision-making and knowledge discovery from
such decentralized data flows requires a system designed with close eye on the specific needs of the academic and market
domains. A model-based approach is needed to plan recruitment efforts and activities, optimally allocate resources, maximize
enrolments and meet universities recruitment, etc. Such an approach should be based on appropriate Operations Research
or modeling techniques allowing decision makers to meet institutional goals by managing the recruitment and enrolment of
students at universities or any educational institution. The admissions process must admit students in such a manner as to
achieve an efficient utilization of university resources. This paper introduces visual model of gap analysis and students
admissions in an Egyptian universities.
