Projects

---

- Parallel Matrix Addition
a program that adds two matrices using two computer. it is an application of parallel computation.


- Interactive Dijikstra
This project was developed using VB.Net. a GUI based software to find the shortest path between a specified node in the user created graph and each node in the graph. The user can create any graph with weighted edges and the software can find the number of cycles and shortest path between any nodes




- Peer to Peer Chat Program
a simple chat between two computers that was programmed using VB.Net

- Google Search Downloader
this project was programmed using VB.Net. This software uses the Google API, to search for the key provided by the user and stores the result on the local computer. Each time the program is run, a collection of web pages which represent the result of searching for the user specified keyword in Google is stored, and an index file for the web pages is created and stored on the local disk.





- FP-Growth Association Rule Mining
This project was developed using Java NetBeans. This is an implementation of the famous ealgorithm FP-Growth in data mining for finding frequent item sets. It’s a very easy to use GUI application. The user can provide the algorithm parameter through textboxes



- Arabic Errors Checker Office Add-in
I developed this project when I was in my master degree for the NLP course. it was programmed using C#. It is a toolbar for word 2003 and word 2007, which gives the user the ability to check for errors in Arabic text. The errors are marked with a blue wavy line which is quit similar to the one used in the English Spell Checker Transportation



- Vehicle Routing Problem Solution a project that we did as part of the Biomorphic Systems course. it was implemented using Matlap
