PROJECTS

Location Discovery & Query Processing in Sensor Networks for Warehousing (B.Tech Thesis) [PDF]
Developed efficient and distributed algorithms for:
  o Localization : Compute best possible coordinates of a sensor mote given the location information
   available at its neighbors and distances estimated from strength of the radio signals (RSSI) received
   from them
  o Spatial Query Processing : Efficient mechanism of querying the information contained within a spatial
   subset of the sensor network

Dynamic Code Instrumentation
Techniques of instrumenting a binary to implement security policies

Modeling System Behavior Based on Performance Data [PPT]
Develop a heuristics based model of the behavior of a windows desktop computer from performance logs
collected over time

A Multi Agent Framework Based on Communication and Concurrency
Develop a model checking system for a new programming language ECCS (Extended CCS) used for describing multi-agent systems

Representational and Aesthetic Character in Music [PDF]
 o How can we characterize the musically beautiful? Are there any objective aesthetic criteria possible for music?
    If so what are they and on what factors these are based?
 o Are musical works representational? If so is that representation relevant to the understanding and appreciation of the musical work?
 o Can music convey emotions and feelings? If so then whose emotions are we talking about and how are they aroused in the listener?
