To Whom It May Concern: I am looking for an intern position in summer 2008. I currently pursue my PhD program at University of Nevada, Reno in Computer Science. I have experience in several areas, i.e., computer networks, Visual Studio 2008, SQL Server, C++ programming, PHP, MySQL, JAVA...etc. Sincerely, Bilal Gonen Ph.D. student in Computer Science University of Nevada, Reno http://www.bilalgonen.com ------------------------------------------------------ EDUCATION Ph.D. in Computer Science, University of Nevada, Reno, NV, USA Aug 2006 - May 2009 (expected graduation) M.S. in Computer Science, University of Georgia, Athens, GA, USA Aug 2003 - Aug 2006 (GPA: 3.14) B.E. in Computer Engineering, Sakarya University, Sakarya, Turkey 1998 - 2002 TECHNICAL SKILLS Keywords: MS Visual studio 2008, SQL Server 2005, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, AJAX, JSP, PHP, MySQL, Eclipse, Ant&Tomcat, XMLDOM, DHTML, PhotoShop PROJECTS * Summer Intern, 2007 (Yourally Project): In Summer 2007, I worked as an intern in the on Aclick inc. company. I worked on a project, called YourAlly. YourAlly is a membership program where they sell several packages to the customers which makes them member. My responsibilities were; - Web programming (HTML, JavaScript, CSS, PHP, AJAX) - Database (Database design with more than 50 tables in MySQL) - Integrating the website with a shopping cart feature, and Google Checkout. Yourally website: http://www.yourally.com . * Semantic Browser (The project for my master thesis) Semantic Browser is a tool that enables the users to traverse among the semantically connected documents easily. The documents are connected by using the relationships, such as "causes", "adjacent to", "produces"...etc. Implemented by using HTML, DHTML, Ant & Tomcat, AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript And XML), JSP (Java Server Page), Java Script, XMLDOM, DHTML, Ontology in RDF format, Lucene indexing (Pure Java code), Eclipse WTP (All-In-One) for Java coding. Details: http://lsdis.cs.uga.edu/projects/semdis/SemanticBrowser * SemDis (Semantic Discovery: Discovering Complex Relationships in Semantic Web) SemDis is a collaborative project between Kno.e.sis Center at Wright State University (SemDis at Kno.e.sis), LSDIS lab at UGA, and eBiquity at University of Maryland, Baltimore County (SemDis at UMBC). A second generation of the Web, "Semantic Web", will be built by adding semantic annotations that software can understand and from which humans can benefit. Modeling, discovering and reasoning about complex relationships on the Semantic Web will enable this vision and transform the hunt for documents into a more automated analysis enabled by semantic technology. Details: http://lsdis.cs.uga.edu/projects/semdis * Bioinformatics in distributed database The goal of this assignment is to create distributed mini database functionality. The communication between the client and server is through a named pipe. By using the MFC dialog, the client sends commands to server. Server takes the command, parses it. It creates database, initialize it. Then user inserts Genes sequence (A, C, T, G) into the database. User also searches a substring of gene. Once the substring is found in the database, the information about the gene sequence (name of gene, species found in, date of discovery, name of discoverer) is returned to the MFC dialog box. This project is done by using Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0. Details: http://www.bilalgonen.com/courses/database * Link Annotation In the current web, people are using links blindly without knowing what these links point to, or what kind of relationship this link represents. With the advent of the semantic web, concepts and relationships among them are represented in an ontology. This can be utilized to make links more meaningful. Web pages can be searched, browsed or even reorganized based on their concept and relationship labels. Links in a webpage can render useful information about the page it is pointing to. We can annotate webpage & its links with appropriate concepts from ontology. This project presents new idea of propagating concept from a webpage to the links pointing to that page or from the links to the webpage. Details: http://www.bilalgonen.com/courses/fall2004/8350 * Peer-to-peer Infrastructure Visualization P2P system is a internet scale technology which every end system is part of the system. For such system, the infrastructure should be dynamic rather than static. So it is useful to know the run time overlay network at particular time and from particular node. This information could help to local other end host, resources over the network, clustering status, etc. User could benefit from this to better utilize the system, while researchers and designers could learn the status of the system and make necessary improves. As to our project, we choose to use JXTA platform to build and investigate the current P2P network. The work begins with creating peers and groups using myJXTA, sharing and chatting are also experimented. Than we invoke JXTA APIs to discover the infrastructure dynamically, and output the result as specific XML format which is processed and visualized by TouchGraph as a topology of the overlay network.

And communicate the other students visual or voiced during lecture. The Lessons are translations of first two semester of Cisco Networking Academy Program (CCNA) which is about 669 pages overall. Those Turkish Cisco Networking documents are included in the web page. This site is built by using ASP, HTML, Flash, Database, PhotoShop.
