Research Projects
July 1998–Present: Neural Networks for ATM Traffic Control, Master Degree’s project in NTU.
The main objective of this research project is to develop an adaptive traffic control algorithm, which is simple, robust and effective for the Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network. The ATM traffic modeling is carried out using the well-known network simulation package- Optimized Network Engineering Tools (OPNET) for bursty, variable bit rate (VBR) and multiplexed traffic (combining both speech and video signals) where scenarios have been created for heavy traffic situations. Here, an adaptive control scheme using a newly developed Minimal Resource Allocation Network (MRAN) to solve heavy traffic congestion problems in ATM networks has been compared with a Back-Propagation (BP) neural network controller and also Explicit Rate Indication with Congestion Avoidance (ERICA) congestion controller. The fast learning and accurate predictions obtained with MRAN is shown to gain best Quality of Service (QoS).

May 1997-March 1998: Development of an Educational Tool-Kit Servomotor System using PC and Microcontroller (Intel 80C196), Bachelor Degree of Electrical Engineering Project in UTM.
In this project, a dc servomotor system is developed for educational purpose that uses a Proportional, Integral, Differential (PID) controller and also a Fuzzy Logic Controller.
