Abstract

vBullletin Calendar API is built on calendar feature of vBulletin, a commercial Internet forum software produced by Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd. It acts as a remote agent for client applications intended to be developed by third party software developers. Such applications can be Facebook application, desktop application, IRC-bot and mobile applications for instant event notification and reminder. Important notices, announcements posted from departments of educational institutions often do not reach to target people, in time, due to various reasons. In this paper, we have proposed to develop an interface through which individual client applications monitor a common source of notice service center and notify users instantly.
