Grouping Categorical Values in Decision Trees (M.S Project ) (Sept 2002 – Present)

A greedy approach for grouping values of categorical attributes is being analysed to build efficient decision trees. This is

being implemented in C and will be compared to the methods in C4.5

Text Retrieval Engine (Sept 2002 – Dec 2002)

Design and development of a text retrieval engine in Perl and Java. This system indexes a GB collection and

uses the vector space model for retrieving the relevant documents. Various differential weighting schemes are

explored while assigning weights to terms appearing within the HTML tags and anchor text

X-TALKS Project (Jun 2002- Aug 2002)

Modification of the behaviour of X-TALKS Personal Agent and development of a system that allows an agent to

query other agents using DAML and Jess.This is built on JADE platform and is FIPA compliant

Kernel Programming and Linux Intrusion Detection (Jun 2002-Jul 2002)

Modification of the Linux kernel to incorporate two new system calls and installation/configuration of Linux Intrusion Detection Software which protects the system even from the root

Simulation of DLX pipeline (Apr 2002-May 2002)

Design and development of a simulator for simplified DLX pipeline, using C and STL, with data forwarding and

delayed branching. It is optimised using loop unrolling and computes the number of stalls involved

Competitive Bot Development (Apr 2002-May 2002)

Development of a bot using Gamebots, in Java, that competes with other bots in a Multi-Agent environment

Web Caching Proxy Server (Oct 2001-Dec 2001)

Design and Development of Client side Proxy Server with caching to reduce page fetch delay. Implementation

involved Client-Server Networking concepts of Java

Cryptography – Digital Signature Algorithm (Sept 2000 – May 2001)

Implementation of the Digital Signature Algorithm in C++ for encrypting the data sent from one port to anothers
