Project work

Academic projects include:

§    My MTech project was Filter object framework for MICO. MICO is an open source CORBA implementation. Filter object framework allows dynamic evolution of OO systems. It accomplishes this by transparently intercepting messages sent to server objects and redirecting them as necessary without any change in client side calling semantics. The project involved modifying MICO kernel to integrate filter object framework, outlining development process for filter objects and providing tools to accomplish the same. Development was done in C++ on Linux.

§    Other course projects include Distributed file system (C/Linux), Scalable workflow management using mobile agents (Java/Voyager mobile agent framework), C interpreter (C++/Windows), Network simulator (C/Windows), Virtual memory & multiprocessing in NACHOS (C++/Linux).
