• Database related applications:
  • "Cyberbook - on line bookselling system": With JDBC API and Oracle database, developing an online book and DVD selling system. Data in XML format is loaded into the database first. Various queries such as "daily sale by a region (represented by zip code), daily sale by a city, etc." can be performed through the GUI. The results of queries are also exported in XML formats.
  • SQL application: Creating a page that allows a user to select one from given countries and then calling a script that will display the table entries: company and the orders shipped to that chosen country
• Data collection application with Perl: Creating a demo data-collection system which enables collecting data from students and displaying the results
• Client side automation with Javascript: Creating a prototype application to do the client-side automation portion of a peer review data collection application, including validation of appropriate data in the fields and generation of the text that is appropriate for an email message
• Server side scripting with Php: Creating a PHP page that receives data from a form and displaying a confirmation as well as printing a pseudo e-mail message that would be sent to the author
• Parallel programming:
  • On Unix platform and with C language, computing the area of a given shape via Monte Carlo method with POSIX threads, PVM and both
• Networking/Distributed computing:
  • "Instant Messenger" project: Under Windows with Java (Swing for the GUI), providing channels that allow two clients to communicate. A client can initiate a conversation channel or wait for another client to initiate one. The server is responsible for receiving service requests from clients and creating channels (in threads) to relay messages between two clients. TCP is chosen as communications between clients and the server is stream-oriented
  • On Unix platform and with C language, conducting applications of sockets, multi-threaded servers, UDP, RPC etc.
• Graphic applications:
  • With OpenGL: Produce images with DXF formatted input files / "Merry Christmas" project: Creating a scene with rotating stars and falling snows. Features include: control menu, toggle function, cull backface etc.
  • With Vtk: Under both Windows and Unix, volume rendering and iso-surfacing medical data from CT and MRI, etc. in C and Tcl
• Application of grid generation by Delaunay Triangulation: Applying the Delaunay algorithm based on the in-circle criterion to generate mesh on simple geometries
