Achievements
subsystem of the pipelined test Tool for the new Product that Microsoft is going to ship
with Windows 8.
RVF was a multithreaded reliable image comparison tool which compared the rendering of
Microsofts Software with other similar Third party Software. The tool was executed on a
test bench for 10 days on more than 10 Machines.
PROJECTS
Development of a Video Conferencing Framework over Cloud Environment

August 2011- ongoing

Guide Prof Arun Kumar Majumdar (Department of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT Kharagpur)
Overview
Achievements

As my B. Tech Project, I have to develop a Video Conferencing Framework using Red5

Streaming Server and Cloud Computing Tools.

Single Node Video Conferencing for 3 users has been developed using Red 5 Server.
We have developed a small cloud of Red5 Servers and the central Tomcat Server is able to
distribute the incoming load of conferences among them.
As the project is in its initial stage we are still experimenting with Hadoop and Eucalyptus
Cloud Environment.

Mesh Decimation by reduction of coplanar and contiguous triangles

Feb 2010- April 2010

Guide Prof Partha Bhowmick (Department of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT Kharagpur)
Overview

Achievements

To design and implement an algorithm in order to minimize the size of .ply and .obj files by
applying the principles of Mesh Decimation.
An algorithm was designed and implemented using OpenGL in C language in order
to minimize the size of .ply files that hold large descriptions of 3D objects. This
involved removal of vertices determined by the algorithm and polygonization of the
resulting broken triangles.
We were able to reduce the number of faces and vertices by an amount proportionate to the
decimation degree entered by user, thereby reducing file size by a significant amount (by
almost half for decimation degree 0.5).

BlueNet - Development of a music file sharing P2P system for Symbian OS.

March 2010

Guide Prof Niloy Ganguly (Department of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT Kharagpur)

Overview

A server-client system was to be developed in which a client can search for available users
