REVIEWS FOR PROFESSIONAL SUBMITTALS
ACADEMIC PROJECTS (Selected)
j-- Compiler, Fall 2008
- Worked with Prof. William Campbell and Swami Iyer on their compiler project as an independent study for two semesters. j-- is a considerably large subset of the Java language. This project will be included in our book on compilers (see Publications section).
- Used javacc and Java to construct parser, lexical analyzer, semantics analyzer, and code generator for a subset of Java language.
- Used CVS to manage the project files.
- Learned about JIT compilers, different compiler frameworks and optimization.
EyeVision, Spring 2007
- Developed a multiple-object tracking experiment tool, which presents dynamic displays, records the subject's eye movements and the moving objects' positions on the screen, and reenacts the trials in video format by superimposing the subject's gaze on the screen.
- It was a large, two-semester project that is specified, designed, implemented, and documented by a team of five students, including me.
- Used C, C++ and C# as programming languages, Eyelink II System for binocular real-time eye-movement recording, and SVN for the file version control.
Parking System, Fall 2006
- Developed a Parking System and its simulator by taking the Umass Boston's current parking system and the garages as basis.
- Used Reverse Engineering and XP, in periodically changing teams of two, to develop the system in Java.
- Used CVS to manage the project files.
A Neural Network for Recognizing Mushrooms, Spring 2005
- I built an artificial neural network in Java for mushroom classification that is trained with a given database of 7559 North American species, and 22 features to compare for each species.
- Learned to develop both "Counterpropagation Network" and "Backpropagation Network".
ArrangeFour Game, Spring 2005
- Developed a static evaluation function that yields high values if a game configuration is advantageous for Player1 and low values if the configuration favors Player2.
- Developed a Java Program that plays the game by using the static evaluation function I created before, Minimax and Alpha-Beta mechanisms. When the program starts, it asks the user about the type of Players 1 and 2. Each player can be one of eight different types:
- Human Player
- Computer making random moves
- Computer with n-move look-ahead (n: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6)
Information Visualization with E-market (a.k.a SIBA Project -SIbel BAhar-, B.S. Thesis), 2004
- Information Visualization helps data to be transformed into meaningful information and be perceived by human brain. E-market transactions like stock views, cost, income, profit calculations and evaluations become much more comprehensible. This project is prepared for the purpose of expeditation of e-commerce between factory managers and marketplace managers.
- Used Php, Javascript, MySQL and Apache Web Server.
- The system consists of three modules; System Administrator, Factory Manager and Marketplace Manager. System Administrator can add new manager, factory and markets as well as s/he can list, update and delete the existing records. Also, system enables Factory Managers to view production costs, comparison of the products in stock, and profit with graphics, while enabling Marketplace Managers to order products by viewing different offers of factories calculate and view stocks, sale and profit with graphics again.
- SIBA provides the managers to see which products are available in the market, which group of product has what percentage of the total profit and income. The property of painting the same product category at the same color provides the manager to compare multiple graphics at the same page.
