A case study on the cancer survival data set is done to explore the most common EDA techniques in this project.

Optimizing patient flow in Emergency Departments using Genetic Algorithms

Implemented a Genetic Algorithm for emergency departments to improve patient flow, while minimizing health care delivery costs. Utilized the Discrete Event Simulation (DES) model for the optimal allocation of service providers at each stage.

Diana’s Destiny – A Third Person Action RPG 3D Game

Developed enemy AI for various levels with increasing difficulty where the enemy targets the player and decides when to chase and when to attack depending on the player’s distance.

Script Analyzer

This project focuses on finding security vulnerabilities in the given script (JavaScript, PHP, Java, C++ and C#). For example, if a JavaScript code snippet is given as an input to our application, it will read each line, determine the methods and variables used. According to the flow of execution of the program, application will detect the points where the code is vulnerable to attacks.
