Software Development Experiences

• co-developer of the Open Source Project XORM, (http://xorm.sourceforge.net),it allows to map abstract classes and interfaces to RDBMS entities like rows • developed an mobile agent system based on IBM's Aglet technology. My system comprised a library of classes for remote agent control and the building of a distributed community of agent platforms with robust capabilities. Language use:

• Development of a Software Agenda with natural language input feature. Language used:C++ with the use of STL and RTTI, designed with UML.

• Development of an amatorial video game, a platform one like Super Mario, SW&HW used: Turbo Pascal e Assembly for a 80286 VGA system.

• Development of a distributed university book store managing system. Along the project I've developed an MVC middle layer. I've used XORM to realize Object Relational Mapping. The system supported PointBase, MySQL and Access. The application was designed using UML, Patterns and Refactoring techniques.

• Development of FIC-U-BOT, a soft-bot that won (with the lowest score of 22-7!!!) the 2003 edition of the tournament of Capture the flag for soft-bot(based on TeamBots) of the Computer Engineering Course of University of Palermo. Language: JAVA
