ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Many people have contributed to the success of this. Although a single sentence hardly suffices, I would like to thank Almighty God for blessing us with His grace. I extend my sincere and heartfelt thanks to Dr. K N Honwadkar (HOD), Information Technology, for providing us the right ambience for carrying out this work. I sincerely express my gratitude to Madhuri Kumbhar, without his tutorials and articles this report wouldnt have been completed.

I express my immense pleasure and thankfulness to all the teachers and staff of the Department of Information Technology, for their cooperation and support.

Last but not the least, I thank all others, and especially my friends who in one way or another helped me in the successful completion of this work.
