1. FYP Project LYU0301: Secure and Reliable PDA-Based Communication System

2. Secure and Reliable PDA-Based Communication System  Abstract Design and develop a PDA-based communication system for a group of workforce (e.g. Police) The communication content should be secured. The system can be executed over 72 hrs (at least) without crash. Fault tolerant measures on both the client and server sides. All the information should still be consistent after failure. Unauthorized users cannot access the content

9. FYP Project LYU0302: PVCAIS – Personal VideoConference Archives Indexing System

10. LYU0302: PVCAIS-Personal Video- Conference Archive Indexing System Background –Videoconference is becoming popular –Participants wish to keep videoconference archives for the later reference –Normal video and audio files are neither searchable nor helpful to recall their contents –Indexing of videoconference archives has not been investigated till now

11. LYU0302: PVCAIS Objective: develop an experimental system with the following architecture.

12. LYU0302: PVCAIS Project tasks 1. Study the mechanism and media format of a videoconferencing client to receive data.

13. LYU0302: PVCAIS Project tasks 2. Select a group of algorithms to implement the multimedia-indexing functions. 3. Integrate these functions to generate an XML index file for each videoconference. 4. Create and manage the file system of indexed archives.

14. LYU0302: PVCAIS Project tasks 5. Implement a GUI of PVCAIS to provide the searching and browsing functions of indexed videoconference archives. Searching Browsing Figure 4. An example GUI of PVCAIS
