WILP Website Link Has Changed!

Hi MSSS Aspirants,

From few days, one might have faced difficulty in opening the WILP website. It is because the website link has been changed.

Old Link: http://www.bits-pilani.ac.in/WILP/
New Link: http://www.bits-pilani.ac.in/university/wilp/wilpoverview

Those who had bookmarked the above website link, have to modify the URL.

When Are The First Semester Exam Results Coming Out??!?

Hi MSSS Aspirants!

From past one week I am feeling an urge to resume the studies for the MSSS. After the comprehensive exams were over on 30th October 2011, it has been 26 days today :O :O :O. I almost forgot that I am student a of the WILP, BITS, Pilani and am enrolled in the MSSS program :).


When are the results coming out?

Best Wishes for the results!

Anticipation Of First Semester Results!

Hi MSSS Aspirants,

Though BITS-Pilani WILP-division is proactive enough to declare the schedule for all sorts of exams to be held during the Semester, it refrains from declaring the same for the results of them!!!

The Second Semester Subjects

Hi MSSS Aspirants,

The Second Semester will be more challenging for the non-Computer Science Engineering Graduates as compared to the First one because the subjects in the first semester there were many subjects which were also a part of non-Computer Science streams of Engineering like Electronics and Communication, Instrumentation and Control and others. On the other hand, the second semester subjects are purely related to the Computer Science field without any overlap with other streams of Engineering!

The subjects chosen for the Second Semester are:

1. Software for Embedded Systems
• Real-time and Embedded Systems; Software issues in Embedded Systems; Software Development Process; Requirements Analysis – Use Cases, Identification and Analysis of use cases, Use Case Diagrams. Design – Architectural Design, Design Patterns, Detailed Design. Implementation – Languages, Compilers, Runtime Environments and Operating Systems for embedded software. Testing – Methodologies, Test Cases.
2. Network Security
• This course examines issues related to network and information security. Topics include security concepts, security attacks and risks, security architectures, security policy management, security mechanisms, cryptography algorithms, security standards, security system interoperation and case studies of the current major security systems.
3. Advanced Operating Systems
• Overview of advanced operating systems: motivation for their design, and various types of advanced operating systems; Distributed operating systems: architecture of distributed systems, theoretical foundation of distributed systems, deadlock detection/resolution, agreement protocols, file systems, distributed shared memory, scheduling, fault tolerance and recovery; Multiprocessor operating systems: multiprocessor system architectures, multiprocessor operating system design issues, threads, process synchronization, process scheduling and memory management; Data base operating systems: introduction, concurrency control: theoretical and algorithmic aspects; Case Study: Amoeba and Mach.
4. Database Systems & Applications
• Introduction to Database Management Systems; File organization; Data Independence in databases; Data Models; Query processing systems; Database Design techniques; Concepts of security and integrity in databases; Distributed Databases; Applications using DBMS.

Best Wishes!!

The First Semester Is Over!

Hi MSSS Aspirants!

The First Semester is over! How it passed away is still a mystery to be solved! The semester started on August 2011. I blinked for a second and the mid-semesters arrived in the next month, September. I again blinked another time and this time it was assignment time and another blink brought the end-semester exams in the month of October just after the festival of Diwali!!! The entire semester ended in 3 months!! What was that?

I know, firstly this question is to be asked to ourself, since all the schedules were pre-declared and there was a total transparency of the pattern and conduct. Secondly, it seems that for a better utilization of the course and preparation for the exam it is necessary to adopt the Tortoise's strategy! Slow and steady!

As this program is only for the working professionals and therefore it seems that the duration of the semesters have been kept short and sweet! So that, in the entire duration of the course, almost half of time, a student is involved in the academic activities. Needless to say that the program is very flexible and therefore the right to choose most of the semester subjects were in the hands of the student and that too before the MS course started. So a student can adjust the study time either by spreading it across the year or by going hand in hand with the Lectures held on-line.

For example for the second semester, the subjects for my candidature will be as below:

1. Software for Embedded Systems
2. Network Security
3. Advanced Operating Systems
4. Database Systems & Applications

So I am free to go ahead with the studies and research in this direction right from the time the first semester exams ended on 30th October 2011.

Awesome!!!

Best wishes for the results for the first semester and for the upcoming second semester!!

ACM/IEEE Code of Ethics for Software Engineers

Hi MSSS Aspirants!!

Tough times! Only a week for the main exams! And Oh, the festival of Deepavali just in the middle!! What a mix!

While revising the Subject: Software Engineering and Management, a part of the 1st Semester, I came across an interesting topic. I exclaimed, Oh! so there exists a code of ethics for the Software Engineers!! :)

I am sharing the links where we can peruse them.

For the main website of the ACM/IEEE(Association of Computing Machinery/Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), please click here! For downloading a PDF, click here!
For reading more stuff at wikipedia, please click here!

Work Integrated Learning Program vs Distance Learning

Hi MSSS Aspirants,

I am sure we all must have been enquired by many of our peers and elders that "oh! so you have joined an distance learning course".

COMPOSITION IN PROGRESS.

Using VLC Media Player To Your Advantage

Hi MSSS Aspirants,

Unfortunately, even though all of us joined this program with the noblest of intentions of strictly following the lecture schedule and rigidly sticking to the study plan but then the age of Robots has not arrived! Right! It is human nature to get deviated, lose focus and then lag behind the schedule!

But then one must do what needs to be done!

Those who have attended the lectures by downloading the Lecture-Video offline must have observed that there are a lot of advantages of doing the same:

1. First is the most obvious one that the Lecture can paused and played according to the comforts of the student. Also parts can be skipped if already undertaken.
2. Second needs a bit of elaboration with examples. Suppose the student is attending the lecture online {real-time}. Now, if the speed of dissemination of the Lecture is a bit slower than the usual, the student loses focus as the input capability surpasses the real-time input. Or it can happen vice-versa too.

1. Now the same Lecture, if, attended offline {after downloading the WMV video  from Taxila}the above short-coming can be overcome by using the play-speed-tuner facility of the media player like the VLC {VideoLAN Client} Media player.

2. If the instructor is delivering the lecture slow paced and with pauses, the media player can be be tuned to play the video with hyper-Unity speeds like 1.5x. Since the video content is more or less static except for the body-movements of the instructor in the small window located at the upper-right corner, it does not distort the experience of the Lecture. Also an hour long lecture will be reduced by a factor.
3. Similar treatment can be applied if the delivery of the lecture is a bit hasty and student faces loss of comprehension. Then the tuning should be done at sub-Unity speeds like 0.75x.

We have been utilizing this feature and enjoying the benefits of it.

Best wishes!!

It's Back Up Time!

Hi MSSS Aspirants!

How are you? Hope you all are doing good and studying just as hard! Just a month away from the main comprehensive exams and a couple of days for the Assignment Quiz to be taken!

During this semester there has been regular uploads of the Lecture PPTs/PDFs and the Video recordings of the Lectures for those who could not attend the online Classes which were held at the day time, when most of us are at our workplace.

As of today, most of the planned Lectures for all the 4 subjects have been held and the contents of the same have been published at Taxila.

It is now, a necessary action, to back up the files uploaded for the purpose of data back-up in case of a local hardware failure at the student's end or a sudden unavailability of Taxila and therefore leading to complete loss of the all the materials stored for the future references and exam preparation.

A Lecture's Windows Media Video File's size ranges from 50 MB to 60 MB. The related Lecture PDF/PPT File's size ranges from a MB to 2 MB. So considering an average of 20 Lectures/Subject, the total archive comes to about 4 GB worth of data.

Use of a DVD is suggested!! Also a proper directory structure is to be maintained while backing up on the DVD as the DVD data does not store recent opened file history or related meta-info.

Example of a proper directory structure is given below:

• MSSS-Semester_Number
• Subject_Name_1
• Lecture_Videos
• Lecture_PPTs
• Subject_Name_2
• ...
• Subject_Name_3
• ...
• Subject_Name_4
• ...

Best wishes! 

Have you completed the Survey?

Hi MSSS Aspirants,

On 14th September, 2011 an e-mail communication was sent to all the MSSS students by the WILP Administrator on behalf of the Dean, WILP Division for providing the feedback on the overall course material and the instructor of the course programs one has opted for the current semester through a survey.

The duration of the availability of the web link at which one needs to take the feedback survey is from 16th September to 30th September. Which means a student has only 5 days to complete so!

Reminder mails were sent at regular intervals at the Sandesh e-mail account for the same and a SMS notification was also received by the registered students.

From the experience of the same, it took only 10-15 minutes for completing the survey for all the four subjects and was fairly simple and well navigated through-out the survey!

If one has not completed it, please do so by the given time!! Please provide the appropriate and necessary comments for the improvement, if any, required under any aspect of the program/course material!

Best Wishes!
