RELEVANT PROJECTS

       Operating Systems:

·    Implemented a XINU-like OS kernel, including process management, IPC, process synchronization, time management and transparent distributed IPC, distributed terminal device driver – C

         Distributed Systems:

·    Designed and developed a highly available and fault tolerant web proxy, including extra features like IP filtering and blocking – C++

·    Developed client and server program implementing the HTTP/1.0 application-level protocol using internet stream sockets on a FreeBSD system - C

Multimedia Systems:

·    Implemented TCP-Friendly Rate Control (TFRC) protocol in C (RFC 3448). TRFC is a congestion control mechanism, which is fair when competing for bandwidth with TCP flows. However, it has lower variation of throughput over time, making it more suitable for streaming media.

Unix Programming:

·    Designed and implemented a basic shell capable of executing a comprehensive set of built-in commands - C

·    Implemented a highway synchronization model based on threads and UNIX system calls – C

Software Engineering:

·    Designed and implemented a resource production and consumption model, part of the MAGNET market architecture that provides support for complex agents’ interactions. Refer to the publication: “Design of supplier agents for an auction-based market”. – Java

·    Developed a “Hospital Computer System” using the Waterfall Lifecycle Model with Rapid Prototype. It included the creation of SRS, SDD and SPMP Documentation. – C++

Database Design:

·    Designed and implemented a database application for a virtual hospital – Oracle and PostgreSQL

Web Programming:

·    Created a WebMail application – Perl and JavaScript

Various:

·    Designed and implemented a freeway event-driven simulation using statistics gathered from a previous study – Java and Lisp

·    Developed a stand-alone multithreaded card computer game application - Java  

·    Implemented a multi-threaded Chat application – Java and Perl

·    Implemented the IP Datagram Delivery model based on ARP – C
