Mobile Networks Security
Mobile networking has witnessed a tremendous growth in recent years. Mobile networks offer attractive flexibility and coverage to network operators and users.
As the mobile communications systems have evolved, successive improvements
have not been addressed with security and privacy in mind because of their small size, memory
capability, and the case with which information can be downloaded and removed from
a facility, mobile devices pose a risk to organizations when used and transported
outside physical boundaries. Therefore, a novel low cost security mechanism on mobile networks
should be developed and used for secure mobile communication without affecting the performance.

Secure Wireless Sensor Networks
Security in sensor networks is complicated by the broadcast nature of the wireless
communication and the lack of tamper-resistant hardware (to keep per-node costs
low). In addition, sensor nodes have limited storage and computational resources,
rendering public key cryptography impractical. In this project, we investigate the
Sybil attack, a particularly harmful attack in sensor networks. In the Sybil attack,
a malicious node behaves as if it was a larger number of nodes, for example by
impersonating other nodes or simply by claiming false identities. The goal of this
project is to develop practical security solutions for Sybil attack and defense against
other malicious attacks in wireless sensor network environments.

TechGrid Project
TechGrid is the union of over 600 networked Texas Tech University desktop WindowsXP lab machines and Windows XP office machines, and Linux server machines.
TechGrid is a campus-wide grid. A campus grid is defined as a distributed computing
system composed of desktop class and server class computers bound together with
grid middleware to provide computational resources from unused computing cycles
that would normally go unused during non-peak hours of operation.

Condor Research Project
The goal of the Condor Project is to develop, implement, deploy, and evaluate mechanisms and policies that support High Throughput Computing (HTC) on large collections of distributive owned computing resources. Guided by both the technological
and sociological challenges of such a computing environment, the Condor Team has
been building software tools that enable scientists and engineers to increase their
computing throughput

Education System Planner (ESP)
It helps students manage finances and time in order to achieve their academic objectives and improve their study habits. It predicts a GPA based upon statistical norms
and empirical evidence and allows a student to see the consequences and benefits of
their actions, as it pertains to their academic career

Building a Basic Real Time Web Server
- File system I/O - Reads access to les under the web root directory and writes access to the log file that saves a summary of every request made
- Networking - Since HTTP is a network protocol, the web server needs access to the network communication layer using the socket library
- Multithreading Capabilities -Efficient web server architectures use a multi-thread approach, where each thread takes care of a particular task
- Time Functions - HTTP responses are time-stamped, so the server can realize whether a newer version of the file must be sent to the client or the actual version is still valid
- Synchronization Objects -This project makes use of Events, which are used to communicate threads among them |
