Master's Thesis

"Formalizing Verifiable & Reusable Enterprise Design Components"

Layering is a concept widely used in computer and software modeling. Many

modern information systems are designed and built using a layered model

where the function of each layer is specified and well defined. In this

thesis, we discuss the different layers whose responsibilities include data

presentation, service findings, data extraction, manipulation and provision

of data to the rest of the application. Common design problems that

designers face while designing object oriented system can be resolved by

using design patterns. These patterns are reusable solutions used heavily

in application framework design. Formal methods are mathematical techniques

used to construct models that can be proved for consistency, completeness

and correctness of computerized systems. We have applied formal methods to

layer patterns which has resulted a verifiable recipes for solving design

problems. Our formal models are described using Z specification language

and are analyzed and validated using the Z-EVES Toolbox.

Bachelors in Computer Sciences (Hons.)

Final Year Project

"Virtual Remote Computing"

It's a ultra peer java based application having two major components

Desktop sharing

Admin can view any of the computer's Desktop in the domain and can perform

any task according to his specified rights. User can work any workstation

by sitting its own Pc.

Distributed file system

Files management with load balancing among the computers. Client can save

his files in the network if the file is large in its size it is divided

into smaller size and placed into different places for load balancing. A

replication is always up in the application for the Fault Tolerance.
