A Smart Market for Study-Room Allocation at Reykjavik University

Prentuð skýrsla og fylgigögn á CD eru á bókasafni HR. Reykjavik University has eight study rooms for approximately 3000 undergraduate students. These study rooms are very popular and most often in use. Utilization of the study rooms could be better because there are often only 1 or 2 students in a r...
