We have already developed the necessary database system using algorithm written by us. It can unite in terms of, for example, lecturers preference, the distance between the audiences , the type of audience, the possibility of having a free hour between classes”, Aram Tovmasyan said.

Archimedes system’s pilot version is being used in Armenian National Agrarian University.
