shopping portal get credit associated to the account. The customers register with a fixed amount of credit.
This reduces as they continue to shop online. They have to pay a minimum amount of money to their account

his account is suspended and he has to pay an activating fee to reactivate the account.

ACADEMIC PROJECTS
Agent Development Framework
The project involved building a working model of a Bee Hive Environment using the concept of
Swarm Intelligence. The model includes a certain degree of competitiveness among two hives.
The bees of each hive are assumed to be individual agents who show coordination among the
peers of their respective hives and compete with the bees of the other hive to achieve a common
task. Using the concept of Game Theory and Negotiation models, I evolved a technique which
when employed resulted in a comprehensive and precise working model. This project was
completed by the end of the course work and was implemented using JAVA as backend and
JADE as the front end for agent framework.
Independent Study (Databases)
The Project involved creating a database of engineering institutes in Mumbai. The database
created using ORACLE provided means for searching for a candidate studying in a particular
college, the information regarding the colleges i.e. the college capacity, the various branches and
courses offered and general information about the college.
