MAJOR IMPLEMENTATION PROJECTS:
-----------------------------
* Developed a GUI using Visual Basic3.0 for a Plant management system
to visually show the results of various new methods of monitoring
the growth and development of plants and interfaced with ACCESS
using ODBC drivers.
* Designed & Developed a electronic personal assistant using Visual
Basic 2.0. This system handles Schedules, Things to do, Calendar,
monitors daily and weekly assignments.
* Developed an interactive CAD package in C++ for designing sheet metal
components using Motif widget set in X-windows. In this one tabs are
attached and holes are drilled on a base and these can be of different
shapes. The same is ported to MS-Windows using SDK.
* Designed and developed a Rigid Body Dynamics package in MS Win/SDK
which displays the response to a force applied at any point on a
kinematic system made up of polygonal bodies connected by rotational
and translational joints. It also analyzes the corresponding force,
accleration, velocity and momentum experienced by the system as a
result of the applied force.
* Developed a tool in C++ using OOSD for calculating different software
properties like Specificity, Monotonicity using McCabes measures.
* Designed & implemented (in C) a file transfer Protocol (FTP) using
UNIX UDP primitives for reliable delivery of packets over an
unreliable network. Error control and congestion control are
considered.
* Implemented a data dictionary for a distributed database in Unix
environment using IPC and networking (TCP/IP) primitives. This is
an implementation for data transmission across different machines
without sacrificing serializibility in a fault tolerant network.
* Developed a card game (like poker) on ISIS operating system using
abcast and cbcast primitives. In this game each player is
implemented as a concurrent process and involves reaching consensus
among these distributed entities.
* Designed and implemented a traffic controller for 4 way inter-
section in Concurrent C.
* Designed and implemented a Database System for payroll and
inventory using INGRES using SQL/forms. The database was designed
in fourth normal form without any update anomalies. A menu driven
user interface was provided.
* Developed a graphics package using Think Pascal 4.0 on Macintosh
with pushbuttons, dialogboxes, and Hypercard figures.
* Modified MINIX OS kernel to make context switching more efficient
and to implement memory compaction, a new RAM disk device driver,
and system calls to implement semaphores.
* Designed and Implemented a two pass compiler for a subset of
modula2 language.
