Role: Senior Developer

Athena is leveraging price server technology for the entitlement systems.

It is repository of financial data of different Organizations. Athena

System as a whole encompasses Entitlements and Billing system. Each system

spans across several technologies namely PowerBuilder, Java, C, Sybase,

shell scripts etc. Athena provides a complete solution for administering

Users and Entitlements. Athena System as a whole comprises of lot of

subsystems with various technologies.

All the Athena systems store the user and entitlement details in Sybase

database. There are several backend processes, which process these

entitlements, produce bitmaps, and send it to Price Server at a regular

half an hour interval. A price server is a system, which has its own

database to maintain and serve the entitlements to a particular company. In

Athena, Users are hierarchically grouped under office and company. A

company can have multiple offices. An office can have many users. An office

is attached to one price server. The users in the office are automatically

attached to the price server of the respective office. A user can be

attached to more than one Price Server.

In Athena, Products are arranged as Packages, Groups, exchanges and

features. Packages and groups are logical grouping of products. A company

can have its own set of products defined in a package. Groups are defined

by Thomson and common to all the companies. A feature Product is a window

used to show exchange data. Exchange is nothing but a datafeed.

Role: Developer

Guardian is a versatile repository of corporate product entitlements.

Guardian is widely regarded as one of Thomson Financials most complex

entitlements environments. Out of necessity and with an eye toward greater

corporate adoption, the Guardian system was developed with maximum

flexibility, accessibility and security in mind. Having established these

strong characteristics in Guardian, an entitlements system now exists to

enable the businesses to leverage their diverse product population.

Financial research data is very diverse in nature and financial analysts

like to present that data in so many different ways that it becomes a

challenging task to control entitlements for that data. This is where

First Call's legacy entitlements system, Source, fell short. There is the

need arise to consolidate all legacy system into guardian.

An entitlements system should be the common denominator for an

organization's diverse product offerings and, therefore, should enable the

company to provide its information in the most flexible and efficient

manner possible. Guardian provides that flexibility.

Limited)

Role: Developer

PSCT - MPG

Nov-2003 to July-2004

Project Synopsis:

PDR Pocket Pharmacopoeia is a quick reference dosage guide intended for use

by Physicians and other prescribes. The format will consist of a

standardized chart with columns that contains information arranged in a

standardized format and hierarchy. The book will be arranged at the highest

level by major therapeutic categories e.g. Analgesics, Anti-infective,

Endocrinology. Within each section there will be a series of charts that

will cover specific areas within that higher level therapeutic. For

instance, Analgesics will have a chart for anti-rheumatics, narcotic

analgesics, NSAIDS etc.; Anti-infectives will have a chart for anti-

fungals, anti-malarials, anti-virals etc. The charts may contain sub-

categories. For instance, the chart for AIDS treatment may have

subcategories of Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors, Protease

Inhibitors, Non-nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors, etc. The book

may run to more than 1000 pages.

The main objective of the project is to generate this Pharmacopoeia. The

users of this project will be the healthcare experts and editors who

decide, how the Pharmacopoeia should appear and what matter it should

contains. The user will use this project to construct the book right from

the scratch. This project has a set of User Interface from which user will

select what has to appear in the book. The book can include advertisements

from the sponsors. The advertisements can be a small bit map file to two or

three full pages adds. The editors have given set of rules that should be

satisfied in final book. The information for the sections will come from

different tables. This is just a very small explanation about the project

6. Concept Search System April

2002 - March 2003

Employeer: HCL Technologies Ltd, India

Designation: Member Technical Staff

Role: Developer

In the existing computing world a query is treated as a list of words. By

treating query as list of words we will be able to retrieve the documents,

which has the matching words. But if we treat query to represent concept

instead of just words, then we can retrieve relevant information even if

they do not contain the specific words used in the query. The goal of the

CSS (Concept search system) is intelligent, concept-based information

representation and retrieval.

Concept Search System (CSS) is a search engine where the search is based on

concepts instead of keywords. It is a concept based search engine, an R&D

product of HCL Technologies Ltd is developed in Java. It takes a user query

and produces results based on the concept involved in the query. This in

future can replace the normal keyword based search engines.
