Research Works
January 2005 – Present
Working in a group of four under the supervision of Mohammad Sohel Rahman, Assistant Professor, CSE, BUET to submit a project in the Computer Society International Design Competition. The project is titled 'Home for Tomorrow'. Here is the abstract we submitted:
If you have ever thought of your television to be self monitored, self secured and remotely controllable from anywhere of the world, then Home for Tomorrow (HfT) is the solution. HfT is a network place where every electronic device is an entity with its own unique identity. Based on this idea, a system will be designed in which every electronic device will act as a node in a global network. The system will consist of three parts: a central server, local servers at home and electronic devices. When a device is turned on, it will register itself with the local server at home which in turn will inform the central server of its (device) coming into being virtually. No device can be usable without authentication from the central server. This gives the important feature of self security. Why should a refrigerator be stolen if it can't be used? The start and end times of the devices recorded by the central server will provide the benefit of self power consumption metering of the devices. As the total system will be under a network, one can easily monitor and control the electronic appliances from anywhere of the world. So, the time is not so far when you would be able to adjust the temperature of your home to a favorable condition before returning from office and would never need to go to police with a complaint of, "Officer, my washing machine has been stolen!!." Just give us a little time.
March 2004 – Present
Working with Dr. Md. Mostofa Akbar on various aspects of Ubiquitous Computing. We are studying various Ubiquitous Computing Projects like Gaia (UIUC), Oxygen (MIT), AURA (CMU) and trying to build a Software Architecture with emphasis on Security.

February 2004 – Present
Working with Dr. Ralph Johnson, Professor, UIUC and Munawar Hafiz, Graduate Student, UIUC on the Security Architecture of Apache HTTP Server.
September 2003 – March 2004
Developed 'Virtual University' using Jakarta Struts Framework with MySQL Database at the back-end. This software is currently being used in Department of CSE, BUET for Course Management and Online Student-Teacher Interaction.
September 2003 – November 2003
Developed 'Telephone Controlled Voting System'. It makes use of the DTMF feature of the telephone digits. Primarily based on hardware it is interfaced to the PC via Parallel Port. The driver program is based on G++ and MySQL is used as Database Server.
