Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Web Services offer significant
improvements to the management of Microsoft's DHCP server. The web
services utilize Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), providing an open and
standardized interface for DHCP server management, and implement the Web
Service Interoperability (WS-I) Basic Profile 1.1, a set of non-proprietary
web service specifications. This standardized communication protocol
allows network administrators and developers to manage Microsoft's DHCP
server, in ways not achievable with previous management tools provided by
Microsoft, or other outside sources, chiefly because the malleable nature of
the open framework allows users to form their own management tools, as they
see fit. The DHCP Web Services include two features innovative to
Microsoft's DHCP Server: an authorization model to control access of DHCP
server objects, and a search to query the DHCP server for client lease
information using regular expressions. Open management, authorization,
and search create a flexible and adaptable tool set for managing a DHCP
server, thus making it more appealing to large network environments with
complex needs. [More]
My approach to symbol recognition of Chinese numerals uses techniques well
established in digital image processing, including black/white conversion,
digital binary morphology, pixel histograms for line counting, Zhang-Suen
thinning for skeletonization, and other simple techniques such as median
filtering. These techniques are combined to form a feature extraction
algorithm. Once features are identified simple table lookups are
preformed for number recognition. The table is constructed from known
features in each of the non-complex and common Chinese numerals.
This project also implements basic image processing algorithms, including point and neighborhood operations. [More]
Ray tracing is an essential subject when it comes to computer graphics.
It combines issues of efficiency and realism, thus finding a favorable balance
of the time and effort involved to make realistic three dimensional images. In
the process of researching the many different ways of implementing a ray
tracer, the study began with local illumination and graduated to global
illumination, using some pre-established techniques and the development of new
techniques. [More]
Marklar is built around three basic types: Marklars, strings and
numbers. A Marklar is a set with methods and has four basic subtypes:
Ordered Marklars, Ordered Conformist Marklars, Unordered Marklars and
Unordered Conformist Marklars. Ordered Marklars have arrays and Unordered
Marklars have hash tables. Extended Marklars override or add methods to
the base Marklar types. Furthermore, Marklar has purely procedural
methods, including the main() method which is the default entry point. [More]
This is my implementation of an SQL engine during an undergraduate direct
independent study, spring 2003. I used Flex and Bison to define the SQL
grammar and parser generation. Inner joins were implemented with
conditional predicates. I called my engine Object Oriented because I
envisioned the engine storing and manipulating objects: images, sound, graphs,
etc. The internal API was extensible to allow for other objects and
manipulation algorithms. For example, store and manipulated images files
with an image processing algorithm. In one semester's time I was only
able to implement the base SQL engine, image viewing, and graph generation
based on table data. [More]
