University Projects

i. Healthy Office Plus

This project is based on a smart IOT product which is used to monitor the sitting pattern of office based employees. In order to detect the presence of the employees at the desk area, two sensors are permanently fixed beneath the work table of the employee. The values generated from these two sensors are logically "and" operated to activate the trigger pin, use of triggers along with mail and SMS integration, as soon as the pin is triggered an email is sent and once the sitting pattern of the user is detected it sends notification to the android based application. The mobile application integrates the current healthiness of the user via an avatar. To keep the avatar healthy, user must be in a good healthy condition. Furthermore, we are planning to monitor the user and create a pattern of the behavior, and get more flexible according to each user.

Publication - ISSN 2478-1010 - International Conference on Innovations in Info-business and Technology-2017 (ICIIT-2017)

ii. Drotch - Wearable Quadcopter

Drotch is a wearable device which can be used as a quadcopter and at the same time as a wrist watch. The prototype was submitted to Cutting Edge exhibition on 2016 which was held at IIT. The project was an Arduino based voice controlled device connected with bluetooth with an android application.

  1. What was your primary contribution to/role in the group? https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/score-community/tp8I2WKtiHg

Fixing the footer section of the SCoRe website to turn years automatically without updating each year but the project seems to be private now, therefore pull request it is not visible.

  1. Do you have work experience in programming? Tell us about it.

Yes. I'm a 3rd year undergraduate of IIT, Sri Lanka which is affiliated with University of Westminster. Also doing my one year internship (7 months completed). I have been working on 3 client projects and working directly with the customers. Mainly involved with a tourism platform. Also I'm engaged in an undergraduate startup which carries out various innovative projects. In the startup I have been involved with local organizations/customers who needed web solutions as well. And also participated Hacktoberfest 2017 as well.

  1. Do you have previous open source experience? Briefly describe what you have done.

Yes. I have contributed to nortable projects such as Serverless dynamodb local - writing unit tests and integrating travis ci. Also I have mentored GCI 2017 with SCoRe and participated in Hacktoberfest 2017.

  1. Tell one interesting fact about yourself.

Code to eat ;)

SCoRe GSoC Proposal - CLocal Azure

Project Introduction

CLocal Azure will be an easy to use emulation engine for the users of azure cloud services. In this project the users will be able to test/mock the cloud applications locally before running on the azure platform. And will be able to save costings.

Project Goals

  • Implementing the skeleton on the project using NodeJS express server
  • Implementing the cosmoDB and azure functions using azure sdk locally
  • Writing unit tests for each service
  • Delivering the architecture and the documentation with wikis and a gh-page

Implementation

CLocal Azure is an emulation engine for the azure services to be mocked or test locally before deploying the cloud applications directly to the azure cloud. Therefore, the features of this project will be mainly focusing on the key features of a cloud app. Starting from the local emulation of documentDB, the phase will be focusing on the azure functions and with the time, other functions will be implemented which is in the azure sdk and will be using existing local emulations such as azure emulation for storage.

This will benefit users without using their credits in azure accounts to test or mock their apps or functionalities. Following are the proposed implementations for the three months.

  • Azure storage emulation

  • Azure functions emulation

  • Azure CDN emulation

  • Azure API Management

  • Building an architecture which can be scalable for other azure services in future

Under storage emulation engine following commands will be added.

  • --Storage install - install storage emulation
  • --Storage start - start the documentDB
  • --Storage stop - stop the documentDB
  • --Storage status - print the status of storage emulator
  • --Storage clear - Clears the data in all services specified on the command line.

Under azure functions emulation

  • --Func init - Initiate the function
  • --Func run - Run the azure function
  • --Func deploy - Deploying the function in azure cloud

Under azure CDN endpoints emulation

  • --CDN create - Create a new CDN endpoint
  • --CDN delete - Delete an existing CDN endpoint
  • --CDN start - Start an existing CDN endpoint that is on a stopped state
  • --CDN stop - Stop an existing running CDN

Under azure API management emulation

  • --API create - Create a new operation in the API or updates an existing one
  • --API delete - Delete the specified operation in the API
  • --API get - Gets the details of the API operation by its identifier

Proposed architecture of CLocal Azure
