1. DataPath System

This is my current research project. It is cache-conscious, data-centric (rather than compute-centric) database. I am working on its query optimizer.

2. Table Analysis Tools (TAT) for Cloud (Summer 2008 Internship Project @ SQL Server Data Mining)

TAT Cloud is a set of canned data mining tasks that you can use without having SQL Server installed on your machine.  It consists of encapsulations of some common data mining problems, such as detecting key influencers, forecasting, generating predictive scorecards or doing market basket analysis. The tasks can be executed from browser as well as Excel 2007 (after installing TAT add-in). 

If you had attended KDD 2008, you must have got opportunity to see its demo (given by Raman and Bogdan).

 

3. Single-user database

Implemented a simple database (using C++) that performs basic inserts (low-level read/write), indexing (using B+ tree) and query processing. It conforms to TPC-H standard and works efficiently on 1 GB data load. However, issues such as concurrency control, failure recovery, etc are not addressed.

4. Embedded Web Server using VxWorks Real Time Operating System

Acts as a standalone web server with remote file system. Since it is booted via RS-232 (serial port), it does not require a hard disk.

5. Sure Serve (Server Monitoring Utility)

Allows the administrator to monitor server performance based on the specified parameters. It comprises of modules (TCP, HTTP, Database and Application) that monitors major functional areas of a commonplace web server. It plots the parameter at real time using Multi Router Traffic Grapher.

6. Usage Reporting of Hotmail data (Data warehouse)

Gathers data directly from product teams, transform and load into data warehouse for aggregation, and generates reports for partners.

 

7. Disassembler and Simulator for MIPS32 processor

Implemented Tomasulo algorithm along with Branch predictor (using Branch Target Buffer) and Load Store Queue (LSQ) for the pipelined processor which executes MIPS32 instructions.

Note: If you are taking Computer Architecture course in UF, I won't mail you the code.

 

8. Numbrix Solver in Lisp

Implemented an AI based program in Lisp that finds a solution to given numbrix grid, in auto mode. It allows the user to play and produces the answer when game is over.

Note: If you are taking a course under Dr. Dankel, I won't mail you the code.

9. ERM (Employee Resource Management) website

An Ajax based web application by the means of which MAQSoftware manages its employee timesheet details, project resource allocation and report generation.

10. Crystal (for Swedish Sleep Institute)

To improve existing 14 legacy applications and migrate them to ASP.NET and SQL Server (so that they are accessible and housed under a single dashboard with a single sign-on).

 

11. GatorMemo

It is a note management system based on spaced learning (Supermemo) algorithm and mindmaps.

Download version 3.0 code or setup (WPF application)

Download version 2.0 (Windows Form application)

 

12. Online Examination using JSP & Servlets

(Similar project - Assignment Assistant)
It uses open source products, therefore is available free of cost. It uses Apache Tomcat Web Server and MySQL database. Since it uses JSP & Servlet, it is portable, therefore can be used on Linux as well as Windows. Using Linux provides University a free testing software.
Responsiblity:
Administrator - managing the account (professor an students)
Professor - Entering/Changing Test Questions, Getting Score Report
Student - Give test and at the end get score report.

Implemented a group management protocol using multicast udp messages. The protocol will allow individuals to join a particular group based on simple majority voting and will also deal with members leaving the group. The leader election algorithm is a simple "bully algorithm". For futher details, see report in the project folder.

 

14. Span Online
ASP.NET/Ajax (and SQL Server) based implementation of Online Examination.

 

15. Distributed C/S application (Concurrent Reader/ Exclusive Writer - CREW)

CREW expects following assertions:
1. No 2 writer can access critical region at a time (ie write) - Exclusive Write.
2. Reader cannot read if writer is writing.
3. Multiple readers can access critical region if they dont violate assertion 2. - Concurrent Read.
4. Writers cannot write if there are readers reading.
Also, Writers are allowed FIFO access after they are waiting. For futher details, see report in the project folder.

 

16. Synchronizing Multithreaded Application

Achieve synchronization between threads for accessing a resource (i.e. entering critical region) in a multithreaded application. It is also expected that this doesnot lead to starvation or deadlock.
