A REUSABLE BALINESE CALENDAR ENGINE

Most of the Balinese digital calendar development begins with creating an engine, which becomes an inefficient development process. In this study, a reusable engine of the Balinese calendar was designed. This study used DSRM methodology to identify problems and produce an engine as the solution. The engine was a combination of Python and PLSQL, which makes it flexible to be customized and embedded. The engine has several algorithms to calculate Balinese calendars attributes (wuku, dewa, wewaran from ekawara to dasawara, ingkel, jejepan, lintang, watek, urip or neptu, ekajala rsi, zodiak, pengalantaka, sasih and year of Saka Calendar, full moon or new moon) and adjusted with the Saka and Pawukon calendar system. The engine consists of a web service that served as data parser and a database to store the attributes. Results of the experiment showed that the engine was able to generate appropriate Balinese calendar attributes of one day up to one-month or one-year Gregorian calendar, compared to the other existing Balinese digital calendar.
