M.Tech Thesis: Performance Evaluation of Speculative Locking Protocol with unlimited
resources in distributed database systems.
Abstract: Under Two-Phase Locking (2PL) protocol, a transaction obtains locks during the
execution and releases them only after the completion of the commit processing. This thesis
improved the proposed speculative locking (SL) protocol (a transaction releases the lock on
the data object whenever it produces corresponding after-image during its execution, and
by accessing both before- and after-images, the waiting transaction carries out speculative
executions and retains one execution based on the termination mode, commit/abort, of the
preceding transactions) and evaluated the performance under variety of conditions:
concurrency control level, transaction size, write probability, version limit, execution level
limit, transmission time between sites, etc.. A distributed lock manager is developed to
handle the lock request made by transactions. Deadlocks are handled using the wait-forgraph.

ASHOKA – An Experimental Distributed Database Management System.
The main aim of this project is to implement a distributed relational database management
system (DRDBMS) with limited functionality and showing its working with a simple example.
The DRDBMS will support fragmentation transparency. Three modules namely, system
catalog, data localization & query optimizer, and executor are developed. Its features are:





Three sites, each with a MySQL DBMS.
Support for horizontal/derived fragmentation based on only one
partitioning attribute, and vertical fragmentation.
No data replication
Support for distributed join queries.
ConfWW – A Database of Conferences World-Wide
As part of the DBMS Course Project, ConfWW is developed to understand practically
normalization and SQL language. ConfWW acts as an interface between the users and
conference organizers. To access this service users are required to register with a user-id.
Organizers can register regular conferences as well as occasional conferences. With this
ConfWW service, users shall able to know about the conferences happening worldwide.

Term Paper on Distributed Query Processing and on Large Databases.
During the winter holidays, studied the basic approach and techniques in distributed query
processing. The emphasis is on two things. Firstly, executions of join queries and their
optimization in client-server database systems. Secondly, aggregation (e.g., group by) and
duplicate removal based on nested loops, sorting and hashing techniques.

DocCluster - Document Clustering using Word Clusters via the Information
Bottleneck Method.
Given a joint empirical distribution of words and documents, p(x, y), we first cluster the
words, Y, so that the obtained word clusters, Y, maximally preserve the information on the
documents. The resulting joint distribution, p(X, Y), contains most of the original
information about the documents, I(X; Y) = I(X; Y). Using the same procedure we then
cluster the documents, X, so that the information about the word-clusters is preserved. This
double clustering method which uses information bottleneck method is tested over several
document collections from the starndard 20Newsgroups corpus.

Other Projects.
Air Flow Controlling with BL1700 for Ramjet Testing, at RPD Department, DRDL,
Hyderabad: Automation of the system for flow control and testing of dynamites (used in
missiles). The developed system is used to automate the sequence of Air, Fuel, Oxygen and
Hydrogen lines of supply into a test bed and facilitate the achievement of various air flow
demand rates.
Minesweeper Game: This standard game is written in C language in which the player is
required to locate all the mines without uncovering any of them. If the player uncovers a
mine, he looses the game.
Freecell Game: This standard game is written in C language in which the player is required
to move all the cards to the home cells, using the free cells as placeholders.
The Igataxx Game: This disc-flipping game is a replication of gataxx game and is written
in C language using Gtk+ GUI library. The object of the game is to have more discs of one
player’s color on the board than one’s opponent does. Game ends when the board is full or
when one player has no discs at all on the board.
MyTetravex Game (tetravex clone, with solution): This game is a simple puzzle where
pieces must be positioned so that the same numbers are touching each other. An option
which itself solves the problem using backtracking technique is also provided in the game.
