Written a technical book titled "Game Programming" under the guidance of Dr. Ragade whose most recent book is on Theory Of Computing. I am in the process of publishing my own book with Pearson's India. The book is primarily aimed for a C programmer who wishes to understand the semantics and issues regarding programming games. Using the experience I got from programming 4 games as part of my project, I wished to share the knowledge I gained so that fellow programmers too could use my technique to simply game programming. Written
an article on Current Anti-Piracy systems which appeared in a newsletter
of PIIT-Affiliated to Mumbai University. Written
an informal review of the game "Splinter Cell" from UBISOFT
which would be published in a future newsletter of PIIT. Written
an article on how MP3 works. The
target audience was the average reader who is interested in technology. This
was sent to all those who had subscribed to eduinfoline.com newsletter. Written

invention of an Anti-Piracy system which I named e-Police. e-Police
aims to stop software piracy without intruding on user privacy. Under the guidance
of Dr. Sharad Wagle, I completed the paper and am in the process of patenting
it. The invention's main focus is to stop piracy of all possible software systems
including software that is distributed online. The system could also be then
used to prevent the piracy of digital /analog media especially video. The system
is a combination of hardware/software and that's what makes it unique. The system
has been completely documented in the form of a book. The synopsis of this invention
can be viewed by clicking here. For further queries, you can
refer to my publication on current Anti-piracy systems given in the "PUBLICATIONS" section or you may drop in an email. An informative paper on Graphic Processing Units. This paper explains the principles of graphic generation and how the GPU's boost performance of the graphics. The emphasis of the paper was on the underlying technology of GPU's and also differentiated GPU's and traditional CPUs. While traditional CPUs can perform complex computations, the main goal of GPU's is to be able to work on huge amount of data by implementing a many stage pipeline and parallelism. Although GPU's today are used to only power graphics, due to their capabilities with working on huge volumes of data, their applications is almost infinite in the world of future computing. An informative paper on Game Engines. This paper explains the role of a game engine in the form of a graphics engine in the look and feel of a game. Its primary emphasis is on the physics engine used along with other routines that it must support. Also, certain fallacies with respect to current gaming engines, along with a case study on the Rag-Doll physics engine has also been covered. An informative paper on Playstation 3. This paper focuses on the technological advances that Playstation 3 hopes to incorporate. The primary focus is on the novel distributed computing feature that the new playstation will have along with a explanation of the technology that they have patented for the same. The paper also shows light on current gaming consoles and how they are very much similar to normal computers. A
research paper on Ubiquitous Computing. Ubiquitous Computing is an
innovation of AT&T which promises to be the future of networking. The key
device being the "bat", it shows how traditional networks can be abstracted
from the user. Some of these concepts, I used in my final year project with
Lucent Technologies, (hence I named it Ubiquitous Communicator). The paper first
shows ubiquitous computing and then I developed a software model for it using
"time-lined" based software. Although the software is purely hypothetical,
it fits the requirements of ubiquitous computing. An
informative paper on Quantum Computing. This paper first throws light
at the computing roadmap a few years from now and how possibly, mainly due to
the "binary" characteristic of digital data, we could reach computation
saturation with respect to VLSI. Then, it explains the theory behind Quantum computing and
throws light on how it would hypothetically work. Although not proven, quantum
computing if made possible could take computing to a new era. |
