Web-based Ticket Vending Application: |
Implemented as a prominent feature of the upcoming www.subkuch.com web-site, the on-line Ticket booking web application provides a convenient and user-friendly way for an Internet user to book tickets for plays running at various theatres in metropolitan Mumbai area. The front-end is a Java applet which provides a GUI-view of the theatre with actual seat locations and classifications. The user can then click on the seats that he/she wants to buy and on-confirmation the ticket information is displayed back alongwith an email message confirmation to the user and the webmaster. The back-end has been developed in Perl-CGI using mSQL as the database. Perl::DBI module has been used for the database connectivity. The membership database for the site was also developed by us for the above site. Scripts for maintaining the database of theatre-venues, plays, shows, seat classifications were developed to ease and facilicate the management of the database. Duration: approx 6 man months. Capacity: Complete development at The Software Workshop. |

SCL to C compiler: |
SCL2C is a project under implementation for EBE Computing, South Africa, allows existing SCL-scripts to be compiled into Ansi-C Code. SCL (System Control Language) is a Job Control Language used on VME-based mainframes from ICL. This C code can then be compiled on a variety of operating systems like DOS/UNIX to give the same functionality. This allows the user to retain his/her tested SCL job control languages scripts from old legacy systems on newer systems, without the need for the user to unlearn and learn new shell/batch programming techniques. Standard UNIX utilities Lex and Yacc have been used for the lexical analysis and parsing. We have also developed an Interpreter for providing the same run-time support to interpret SCL-scripts on the fly. Duration: under implementation. Capacity: Complete development at The Software Workshop. |
IVRS Solutions: |
We have developed IVRS (Interactive Voice-Response System) solutions using voice modems (GVC, Lanbit, DLINK modems with Rockwell and Cirrus-Logic chipsets) to provide cost effective PC-based IVRS solutions. These have been successfully deployed for providing unattended round-the-clock bookings and status feedback. The client's database system was integrated with the IVRS solution to provide complete online support. Telebanking application using voice-modems with fax-back features have also been developed. |
TransAct Transport Information System: |
TransAct is a complete information system on PC/LAN environment for a medium sized Transport Operations company. It provides a comprehensive and complete solution providing functionality from making bookings right upto the balance-sheet. All standard documents like Lorry Receipt, Lorry Hire Receipt, Bills and Registers are generated. Care has been taken to detect data-corruption and auto-fixing the database file headers. The application has been tuned to minimize the time taken for data-entry keeping in mind the large volume of data that needs to be entered. Duration: approx. 18 man months. Capacity: Complete development at The Software Workshop. |
Real-time Interface to Stock Exchange Data Feed: |
Feasibilty study, Systems Analysis and design of the Stock Exchange Value-Added-Services project for a prominent Telecommunications company. This project involves real-time acquisition of stock-market information and the storage of this information is a database for subsequent retrieval. This information can then be distributed to the customers using various media like IVRS, fax, dial-up access, pagers, etc. Duration: approx. 1.5 man months. Capacity: Complete development at The Software Workshop. |
Windows Socket - Winsock DLL: |
Design and implementation of Windows Sockets compliant Dynamic-Link Library (DLL) for a US-based company. This project was a proof-of-concept project, to demonstrate the feasibility of accessing Internet services over low-speed dial-up lines. This was demonstrated by means of a Winsock DLL used to transfer requests between Winsock applications (the clients) running on a PC to a UNIX-based host computer (the server), running the corresponding server, using serial communication. Applications that were shown to be supported were Netscape Navigator, Eudora Mail, and various Telnet applications. TCP/IP services that were supported were echo, chargen and discard. It also supported the spoofing of TCP/IP based services like HTTP, SMTP, POP2 and POP3. Duration: approx 8 man months. Capacity: Business Associate at the Temporal Systems and Computer Networks. |
Datapro's Electronic Mail System: |
Design and implementation of the XeeMail Electronic Messaging Software for Datapro
Electronics Private Limited (India)'s proposed nation-wide e-mail service. A complete
hybrid e-mail system, based on X.400 functionality, was implemented, which consisted of
the following main modules:
Role involved liaison with the clients, extensive on-site testing and leading a team of five software professionals. Duration: approx 7 man years. Capacity: Business Associate at the Temporal Systems and Computer Networks. |
Singapore Telecom's COMRADE System: |
Design and implementation of the Communication subsystem for Singapore Telecom's COMRADE project at Singapore as a consultant to Digital Equipment Corporation, Singapore. COMRADE is an automated on-line solution to the maintenance of the radio exchanges in Singapore Telecom's Public Switched Network comprising of its Pager, Mobile Phone, Voice Mail and Callzone exchanges. The Communication Subsystem interacts with the exchanges using the Computer-to-Computer (CTC) protocol specific to that exchange. As the setup consisted of wide range of machines from different vendors, viz. NEC, Motorola, Glenayre, etc., each having a different protocol, an important requirement for the Communication Subsystem was to provide a generic solution to handle this diversity. This was accomplished by devising a method of storing the protocol in a Communications Database which are accessed by the communication Subsystem depending on the exchange to be interacted with. This also enables easy integration of new exchanges, as was demonstrated by the addition of the Glenayre Paging exchange which required minimal effort. The project was successfully commissioned on time despite a very aggressive time schedule and exacting technical expertise required. Duration of the Communications subsystem: approx 8 man months. Capacity: Consultant to Digital Equipment India Limited on deputation to Singapore Telecom/Digital Equipment, Singapore. |
Intel's High Integration Desktop: |
Design and implementation of ROM based diagnostics for Intel's High Integration
Desktop (HID) workstations. The diagnostics and Power-On-Self-Test implemented were:
The off-shore project was executed successfully meeting all time schedules, technical specifications and documentation requirements specified by Intel. Role involved leading a team of three software professionals. Duration: approx 2 man years. Capacity: Senior Software Engineer at Tera Informatics, India. |
Intel's C Code Builder: |
Design and implementation of the DOS, BIOS and Graphics components of the runtime
Library for Intel's '386/486 C Code Builder' product. This involved implementation of the 130-odd functions that comprised the library ensuring full compatibility to Microsoft C 6.0. This product allows building of DOS applications using Extended memory and increased performance as it runs in 32-bit Protected Mode, Extended-DOS environment. The library developed facilitates porting of existing software to the high-performance 32-bit environment. The off-shore project was executed successfully meeting all time schedules, technical specifications and documentation requirements specified by Intel. Duration: approx 2 man years.
