Major Academic Projects

August 2005
XML Web Services & Smart Clients (Thesis Project) http://www.isk.kth.se/~alnoor/thesis.pdf
Technologies & Tools : C#, .NET Framework, Java2ME, MS SQL Server 2000, MS Visual Studio, NetBeans
Designed & developed Web Services on .NET Platform that provided locations of all Auto Teller Machines (ATMs)
in Pakistan in addition to real time exchange rates for all currencies. These services were consumed by Smart
Clients running on a mobile phone. The project artefacts, XML Web Services coded in C# running on Microsoft
Windows based Servers and J2ME Smart Clients running on a CLDC1.0/MIDP 1.0 mobile phone, demonstrated
that XML Web Services facilitate sharing of logic and data among applications irrespective of the programming
language they were written in and the operating system and device configuration they are running on.

August 2004
JXTA Messenger (Term Project)
Technologies & Tools : Java2SE, JXTA Framework, NetBeans
Implemented peer discovery and messaging with JXTA, an IP Address independent P2P technology.

June 2004
Video on Demand - VoD (Semester Report) http://www.isk.kth.se/~alnoor/vod.pdf
The report identified characteristic features of various Interactive VoD (IVoD) systems. MPEG was discussed to
aid in better comprehension of implementation of various IVoD system features. Further, several alternatives for
an IVoD system structure were discussed. In addition, QoS guarantees expected from an IVoD system were
presented. Also, the role of ATM in supporting IVoD over packet networks was presented and several proposed
ways of supporting interactive functions were outlined. Lastly, factors influencing takeup of IVoD over packet
networks, future of IVoD in the residential market and outcomes of VoD trails were elaborated upon.
