rious banks (IBM customers).
Internship, IBM T. J. Watson, Hawthorne, NY, USA June 95 to Sep 95
Formalized the semantics of various transaction models using ECA rules. The tra
nsaction models which were formalized include the traditional model, nested tran
sactions, split transactions and Sagas.
Demonstrated how ECA (event-condition-action) rules, defined at the system leve
l on significant operations of a transaction and/or data structures such as a lo
ck table, allow the database implementor/customizer to support: i) currently pro
posed extended transaction models, and ii) new transaction models as they become
available.
Customized transaction (or application) semantics in arbitrary ways using the s
ame underlying mechanism. A prototype was built which shows how to realize the s
emantics of Sagas using ECA rules. The variant of Sagas used in this prototype r
equires the serial execution of component transactions with a backward recovery
policy. Implementation in C++ on RS6000 AIX platforms.
Research Assistant, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL Jan 95 May 95
Designed and developed a rule based system for an object oriented Graphical Inf
ormation System. This rule based system allows users to define rules in the form
of Event-Condition-Action (ECA rules). These rules prohibit violations such as
construction of buildings on water. Implementation in Smalltalk on Macintosh Wor
kstation environment.
Teaching Assistant, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL Aug 91 Dec 94
Duties involved teaching the course CAP 3802: An Introduction to Computer Softw
are. The class material covered DOS and the software packages WordPerfect 6.0, L
otus 123 version 2.3 and dBase III plus. The class size varied from semester to
semester with an average of 110 students, both undergraduate and graduate. Respo
nsibilities also included writing exams and quizzes, grading and holding office
hours.
Computer Programmer, Institute of Banking Studies, Kuwait Feb 90 July 90
Implemented a library system using C.

____________________________EDUCATION_______________________________
Ph.D. in Computer Engineering May 1996, University of Florida, Gainesville.
Dissertation topic: Realizing Transaction Models: An Extensible Approach using
ECA Rules. This work demonstrates the utility of the active database paradigm fo
r achieving an extensible system. In particular, the active database paradigm is
used to realize the semantics of various transaction models on the same underly
ing DBMS. This is achieved by expressing the semantics of transaction models usi
ng ECA rules defined at the system level, i.e., the rules are defined on the sig
nificant operations performed by a transaction (e.g., commit-transaction, get-re
ad-lock) and on data structures such as the lock table. The implementation uses
an active OODBMS, Sentinel, developed at the University of Florida. Sentinel was
developed by incorporating active capability to Zeitgeist, an OODBMS developed
at Texas Instruments. Zeitgeist is implemented in C++ and uses Oracle version 7.
1.3 as a storage manager. Implementation is on Sun4 SunOS 4.1.3 platforms.
