AVAILABILITY LINUX SERVERS CLUSTER For
further information Contact: Ali Raza Butt,
,Farhan-ud-din Mirza , Kamran Khalid Department of Electrical
Engineering, University of Engineering &
Technology, Lahore. The past decade or so has seen the evolution
of Computer Networks as a merger of the Communications
and Computing Worlds. This revolution has made the dream
of global connectivity possible. And as more and more
people turn to networks for increasingly important tasks,
there is an ever-growing need for highly reliable
systems: Systems that have the capability of detecting
and successfully tackling the failures of certain vital
network components. Many such fault tolerant systems capitalize
on redundant replication of data and elimination of any
single-points-of-failure. This replication makes possible
the availability of important information and services in
the event of failure of any key component, by a virtual
replacement of the failed component by its exact replica:
A process that is often referred to as High
Availability. It is important that the switch
over is transparent to the remote user for optimum fault
tolerance. Generic solutions for this are available, but
require expensive hot-switch-over equipment, major system
reconfigurations and often, external communication links,
other than the existing network link. In an attempt to
overcome this challenge, we have devised a software
solution to achieve fault tolerance without the need of
additional hardware and reconfiguration. Our solution
bases itself on an array of Identical Linux Servers,
providing various network services to a Linux LAN. No
additional link other than the standard Ethernet is
employed. Project 2 Study and implementation of a general purpose DSP processor based controller. Project mates:
Project Advisor: Prof. Dr. Tahir Izhar Aim of Project : The aim of our project is to study various techniques of DSP (Digital Signal Processing) so that we can apply those techniques to implement a specific application of real life. Most probably we shall be implementing sound recognition algorithm using DSP techniques. At present our projected application is to control lights, fans and various home appliances through human voice commands. For example if one wants to turn ON a light then he does not need to turn the button ON but he will just say "Sara! turn ON light" (Sara being the name given to the computer) and the light will be turned ON automatically. How far we succeed in this application depends upon the time we devote to the project and after all on the courage given by GOD. Time available to us: Start of project : 16.8.1999 Expected end : 16.2.2000 What are we doing now? At present Mr. Mueen is studying about the architecture of DSP processor to be used. Its particulars are as follows Name of Processor: TMS 320C31 (Floating point DSP processor) Manufacturer : Texas Instrument USA Experimentation Board : DSP starter kit developed by Texas Instrument Kit Price : $100 Unfortunately we haven't yet started our experimentation due to some mailing problems with our board.( We are facing custom duties Rs.4200 imposed by our government but we want to save this, declaring to the government that this is for educational purposes). This board connects with the parallel port of the IBM PC and we can run our code on the DSP processor through a debugger program. This is helpful in developing a DSP application. Later on, we can use a separate processor to make a stand alone system. Mr. Asim is currently working on the voice recognition techniques and algorithms. He is already an efficient software programmer in Visual Basic and is currently working on Turbo C++. He is not much interested in developing application for DSP processor rather he wants to implement the application using sound recognition libraries provided by Microsoft using MMX technology on Pentium family of Microprocessors. Mr. Abdul Hafeez is currently studying the work done in this field by our senior students. How to contact us? For any kind of suggestions, study and/or development aids (for us and for you) and questions please send E-mail to us at following addresses : Mr. Mueen Sajjad mnuet@hotmail.com Mr. Asim asim_electro@hotmail.com Mr. Abdul Hafeez Room no. 51 Mumtaz Hall U.E.T Lahore

Project 5: Automation
of saline mixing plant using PLC's Group:
Description :
Objective
is to automate a saline mixing plant (which converts sugar-cane juice into
raw sugar). Our objective is to automate this
plant.Equipment & installation guide in being provided by a
multi-national firm ,responsible for this project. We will have to study &
operate on 3-phi drives. PLC's hardware and software. As each firm was some
specific software for programming the PLC's we have been directed to program in
Adva-Soft (A language much similar in syntax to C++) Contact: shah_uet@hotmail.com Project Advisor:

Project 4: Distributed
Control System (DCS) implementation in Ammonia Plant. Mates:
Description:
Distributed
Control System is modern technique adopted to make the system reliable and more
efficient in control engineering. In this technique, as the name suggests, the
control of the parameters to be dealt with is basically distributed using
different processors for individual observation .All the subsequent processor
are then controlled by a central processor that is responsible for optimizing
control, decision making in case of emerging and managerial needs.
DCS is basically an advanced version of PLC (Programmable Logic Control)
in which each parameter is controlled by one processor only. This technique,
although less expensive is more troublesome. DCS, on the other hand, caters for
all the control parameters individually, as well as collectively. Hence, in case
one of the systems boggs down, the central control even then keeps on providing
optimum results. Hence, reliability and also the efficiency of the system is
enhanced. Contact: |
