Curriculum Vitae - The University of Texas at Dallas

Biometrics18. Implementation of Fingerprinting Algorithms, 2006 – 2007Abinanthan, Bhavani ThuraisinghamImplemented a novel fingerprinting matching algorithm and associated system.19. Face Detection Algorithms, 2006 – 2007Parveen Pallabi and Bhavani ThuraisinghamDeveloped a system that detects facial features using neural networks. The algorithm combines SVMand ANN and uses Dempster-Shafer theory for fusing the results.Social Networks and Security20. Design and Implementation of a Secure Social Network System, 2005 – 2006Ryan Layfield, Bhavani Thuraisingham, Latifur KhanDeveloped a prototype secure social network system and analyzed the properties using the Enron dataset.21. Access Control Model for Social Networks, 2009 – 2010Raymond Weatherly, Murat Kantarcioglu, Barbara Carminati, Elena FerrariPrototype developed for a system of a secure social network using a novel access control model.22. TweetHood, 2010 – PresentSatyen Abrol, Latifur Khan, Bhavani ThuraisinghamLocation-aware tweet mining.Cloud Data Management and Security23. Federated Query Processing in Clouds, 2008 – 2009Farhan Husain, Pankil Doshi, Latifur Khan, Bhavani ThuraisinghamDeveloped a cloud computing platform with Hadoop and MapReduce and implemented securefederated query processing and optimization algorithms on top of this platform.24. Secure Query Processing in Cloud with HIVE, 2009 – 2010Vaibhav Khadilkar, Murat Kantarcioglu, Bhavani ThuraisinghamThis system is a query rewriting system that will examine the XACML policies and implement queryprocessing in a cloud using Hadoop/MapReduce framework.25. SPARQL Query Optimizer, 2009 – 2010Farhan Husain, Latifur Khan, Bhavani ThuraisinghamThis system is developing a SPARQL query optimizer for the Hadoop/MapReduce framework.26. Secure Query Processing in Cloud with Semantic Web Data, 2009 – 2010Farhan Husain, Latifur Khan, Bhavani ThuraisinghamThis system is a query rewriting system that will examine the XACML policies and implement queryprocessing in a cloud with SPARQL, Hadoop/MapReduce framework. It uses the framework we havebuilt in the system discussed under the previous project. Two versions of the prototype have beendeveloped.27. Secure XACML Implementation with Hadoop, 2009 – PresentIn progress. This system essentially explores the Hadoop software and incorporates XACML policybasedaccess control. It will be offered as open source.Blackbook Enhancements and GOTS (Government Off the Shelf)96
