Project 1: Enhancements to OAMP Events and Alarms Website
Events, Alarms and Fault subsystem is a workflow based system used to log various faults, events
that occur in the BTS 10200 softswitch. Subsystem also includes features to define billing and
TMM definitions. Each event/alarm or billing/TMM follows a lifecycle where it starts off with the definition,
validated, then sent for approval/decline and finally closure. Responsibilities were to understand the system
and add new enhancements to the Events, Alarms and TMM subsystem
Project 2: Designing Website for BTS Engineering and BTS Platform Team
 As a college intern I was given the responsibility of designing website for BTS Engineering and BTS
     10200 Platform Team using Wiki.
 Migration had to be made from already existing website designed on the engineering server to the wiki
     server and care had to taken so that no information is missing.
 One of the challenges was to learn wiki tool and markup language within a short period and design the
     website within given timeframe.

ACADEMIC PROJECTS
Implementation of MAP protocol and Friedemann Mattern’s Termination Detection
Algorithm : Application and control messages were used for communication between nodes in a distributed
system. Nodes exchanged messages depending on the state (Active or Passive). Termination was detected
once all nodes became passive and number of messages sent is less than maximum.
Language: java Platform: UNIX

Implementation of Juang and Venkatesan’s asynchronous checkpointing and recovery
Protocol : The project implemented crash and subsequent recovery in distributed system. A node on failing
simply stops sending messages to neighbors and rolls back to some previous state selected at random. It then
initiates the recovery protocol.
Language: java Platform: UNIX

Implementation of Ad-hoc On Demand Distance Vector (AODV) protocol : Files being used as
the means of communication between nodes. Route error handling was done to show the dynamic nature of
the protocol. Simulated the protocol to work for number of nodes greater than eight. Designed the protocol
to handle link breakages and dynamic movement of nodes.
Technologies: Java, Eclipse IDE Platform: UNIX

Branch and Bound Algorithm: Implementation of heuristic Branch and Bound algorithm for
developing minimum spanning tree with minimum degree and maximum diameter constraints. Comparison
analysis was done varying the number of nodes to test the efficiency of the algorithm. Used Dijkstra’s
algorithm to satisfy the degree and diameter constraints.
Language: Java, JFrame, JPanel Platform: Windows XP
