PROJECTS AND SEMINARS
MTech project - Indexing and searching for Semantic Tasks
May2006 . June2007	Guide - Prof. Soumen Chakrabarti, CSE, IITB.
It includes modifying the graph structure traditionally used to represent the Web, using it to answer personalized queries efficiently with respect to both space and time, using hubset selection strategies with a watch on the space and the pre-processing time required to obtain a hubset.
M.Tech Seminar XML Technologies and applications
July 2005 - November 2005	Supervisor - Prof. N. L. Sarda
Presented an overview of different XML Technologies, an overview of the database features of XML, how XML is used in .NET framework, an insight into the use of XML in collaboration and the use of XML in Web services. Topics discussed included DTD, XML Schema, XML DOM, XHTML, Xlink, XPointer, XPath, XSLFO, XSL, XForms, MLs for Multimedia, music, images; SOAP, WSDL and UDDI.
Seminar at SECNET 2006 - XML Security
March 2006
Presented an overview of technologies for XML security like XML Encryption , XML Signatures , XML Key Management specifies protocols, WS Security, WS-Trust, WS-Policy,WS-SecureConversation, WS-Privacy.
Seminar for Adv Databases course - Data Management in Pervasive Computing Environments
Feb 2006	Supervisor - Prof. S. Sudarshan, CSE, IITB
Covered data management challenges related to the goal of making a mobile device cooperate with other devices in their vicinity in order to pursue their individual and collective tasks. Discussed a framework that is peer based, operates on a best effort basis, is network agnostic and uses both static and dynamic information to allow devices to behave pro-actively.
Seminars for CEP course for NIC officers
September 2006
Dealt with support for XML processing in Oracle. Also discussed and presented a demo of full text search support in packages like Lucene, MG4J, Galatex and in MySQL and PostgreSQL.
B.E. Project - Speech Compression using personalized speech repository
July 2004 - March 2005	http://vox.sf.net
Supervisors - Prof. Sharma(TCET, Mumbai University) and Mrs. C. Vijayalakshmi(KReSIT,IITB) VoX (Voice eXchange) is a nifty command-line based tool that is used to encode speech files using a repository. It involved building a system for exchanging voice messages over mail, using very high speech compression. The sender records his voice message and transforms it into the coded, compressed file using the encoder module. The coded file is transferred as an email attachment. The receiver passes the attached file through the decoder module, which reproduces the original speech. Both the encoder and decoder use a repository of speech segments.
