  • Applying Mobile Technology to Portal-Based Course Management Systems

    Indiana University

    Portal-based course management system is becoming more and more popular. However, how to use mobile device to access portal-based course management system is still a challenge. In this paper, we propose an approach to apply mobile technology to portal-based course management system. A prototype is implemented to prove that most of the functions in portal web pages can be transferred to PDA screens. Although we built our prototype based on Chef project, we believe it is a generic approach that…

  • Enterprise Ebook Distribution System

    This project focuses on the creation of a scalable and easily configurable ebook distribution platform. The objective is to automate the process of taking raw ebooks files and injecting appropriate metadata, applying appropriate structure and then distributing them out to the various vendors that we partner with. The solution will combine Service Oriented Architecture with a sophisticated configuration engine stored in a SQL Server Database. Leveraging .Net 4.5, Entity Framework 6 and…

    This project focuses on the creation of a scalable and easily configurable ebook distribution platform. The objective is to automate the process of taking raw ebooks files and injecting appropriate metadata, applying appropriate structure and then distributing them out to the various vendors that we partner with. The solution will combine Service Oriented Architecture with a sophisticated configuration engine stored in a SQL Server Database. Leveraging .Net 4.5, Entity Framework 6 and ASP.Net MVC, our Dev team will build out a series of various plug-in services that will be available to the managing service. The manager will take each project through its recommended steps applying each plugin as necessary. At the end, the project related files will be submitted to their respective destinations and through various methods including FTP or Web Services. Once delivered, a monitoring service will watch for the projects to become available on the vendors storefronts. Once available, the service will update the status in our system. Overall this project should reduce the rejection rate from our distributors and therefore reduce the time to market for our ebooks. The solution reduces a number of manual steps involved in the process and improves tracking and monitoring of all projects from start to finish.

  • International Sanctions Monitoring Project

    - Present

    This project involves leveraging some new technology for me, that being SOLR search technology. The objective is to design and build a solution that monitors our customer data for individuals that have been identified as sanctioned by the federal government. Combining a WCF service that performs a search against a SOLR core built using the SDN List, we will be instituting an SSIS package that routinely scans through our various data stores to make sure that no customers have been tagged as…
