Project Works Undertaken

Semantic Web Research Project

Duration: Feb 2003 - May 2003

Skills Required/Acquired: Java, XML, RDF, SOAP, Jena and TAP API architectures

Team Size: 2

Abstract: The project, acquired from the student project listing for the year 2003, posted on the HP Labs, Bristol website, was a research initiative in the field of Semantic Web. It involved the inculcation of functionality of TAP into Jena - 2 renowned open-source APIs in the field of Semantic Web for remote querying and inferring local data respectively. Final deliverables included enhanced Jena API with remote querying ability, a technical paper on the effort, various demo programs.

Embedding Linux into a PDA

Duration: Feb 2003 - May 2003

Skills Required/Acquired: cross-compiling, kernel porting, Linux development APIs

Team Size: 2

Abstract: The initial phase of this project involved the porting of the Linux kernel and other important libraries into a StrongARM processor based Compaq iPAQ. The next phase involved development of a suite of small, test programs based on the standard Linux development APIs and demonstrating the breadth of functionalities provided like threads, signals, semaphores, mutexes, Curses, message queue and pipes. The central objective of this phase was to test the stability and proper functioning of the ported libraries.
