Duration: 1999-2013
Projects : FI_RC, UBLService, ecenter, merimieselakekassa, netmaster, X-change, etc.
Personal roles
Coauthor and also partner that is responsible for programming and technical support of the projects.
4.1. FI_RC (reporting center).
Duration: 2006-2013.
Environment: IIS, C#, MS SQL Server 2005-2008 (Reporting Services and Analysis Services), .NET (VISUAL STUDIO 2008).
Description: An Internet application providing of reporting management for Fatman developers and end users (including of report access management for end users, creation of report models, reports and dashboards, ad hoc reporting, subscription management, etc.). The application is fully integrated with other Fatman applications. It extends essentially of the Reporting Services for users that should not have any direct access to the enterprise database servers.
Personal roles
Designing and creating the application as the whole (including, e.g. tutorials for Fatman developers, multilingual functionality for all kind reports, etc.).
4.2. UBLService.
Duration: 2008-2012.
Environment: IIS, C#, .NET (VISUAL STUDIO 2008), MS SQL Server 2005-2008.
Description:
UBLService was a joint project of several partners-competitors in facility management field that agreed to design and use the same web service interface to manage of end user requests (related to work orders, task assignment, etc.). Each partner had to create his own web service but they share the same WSDL description based on international UBL standard. So, partners could relatively easy to manage of redirection of some work orders to another partner that manage corresponding facility.
Implementation was divided into three parts: two web services and a windows application. One web service serves external calls by partners. Execution of such a call normally changes some database tables that in turn forces some DB triggers to send messages to the windows application. The application in turn calls the second web service that in turn could call foreign web service transferring data to corresponding partner.
Personal roles:
� Designing and creating both web services.
� Solving integration, customization and maintenance problems of the project.
� Idea and implementation of ICT-Mappings � a mapping tool that simplified essentially the web service creation and maintenance comparing known third party tools.
4.3. X-Change.
Duration: 2006-2007.
Environment: external web services made by partners, demo/testing web service located at Fatman, IIS, C#, .NET (VISUAL STUDIO 2008), JavaScript, CSS, XPDL, SVG, AJAX.
Description:
X-Change was an international (EU) project - Flexible Change Management for the Factory of the Future. Fatman part was the Integrated Graphical User Interface (I_GUI).
Main goals of making I_GUI were as follows:
Show and test general design ideas and implementation in progress
Make clear that different kind of applications based on different platform and technologies could be integrated in practice using suggested approaches and tools
Give partners a native tool to debug and test their implementation results as parts of the integrated project
Give potential users and experts a native tool to try and test project results and have their own experience related to the project as the whole
Physically I_GUI consists of
Server-side part
Client-side part
XML part
Component library
I_GUI_AC
Server-side part consists of www-pages (ASP.NET pages), XML/XSL/XSLT pages and client-side scripts (JavaScripts). ASP.NET pages are responsible for primary server component setting, client side scripts setting and run-time managing of XML stuff that is used to customize the I_GUI and manage all communications between I_GUI and application controller (AC). Component library consists of VK_Grid and common visual components providing functionality that should be customized by XML parameters delivered by I_GUI_AC interface functions.
The I_GUI_AC is a Web Service or a collection of Web Services that provides all required functionality to access integrated database as unique information channel between I_GUI and the specific application at run time. Both client and server parts handle secure communication with I_GUI_AC Web Services. Anthem.Net cross-browser open-source library was used to provide a platform independent access (ClientCallback) from client-side script to server-side scripts without redundant round-trips. Server-side scripts call standard Web Services using SOAP protocol to get XML messages described by WSDL.
Description of navigation, application options, alarms and application function keys are provided by appropriate functions of the I_GUI_AC interface, which gets them from X-Change database.
So, I_GUI functionality is the preparation to a call of such a function, the call itself, and then the output of the results of the call on the screen (or doing something else related to the result and the context of the call). A �nearly real-time� interaction with the specific application is implemented by periodical Web Service requests from a client script trough the ClientCallback to X-Change database through I_GUI_AC getting an XML that should describe the current application status, possible needs and SVG-presentations of processes. It is a specific application responsibility to supply appropriate data for integrated X-Change database.
So, all application business logic is hidden by Web Service(s) and the whole application user interface is transformed into XML specifications and X-Change database functionality.
Implementation of the I_GUI prototype answered essential questions like if such an I_GUI could be done in principle using reasonable resources.
It became clear that
I_GUI controls could be added and customized dynamically by appropriate XML instances in a relatively easy way.
.Net could communicate with Java-made web services without problems.
I_GUI could work for all standard browsers.
Alarms and other events could be checked and managed without redundant round trips.
Personal roles:
� Designing (together with partners from Germany, France and Greece) and creating the I_GUI working demo site for the project (except SVG process presentations).
� Designing and creating VK_Grid.
� Solving all integration problems.
� Saved the I_GUI related part of the project that seemed catastrophic until I got involved.
4.4. Ecenter.
Duration: Oct 2007 till 2012.
Environment: IIS, C#, .NET (VISUAL STUDIO 2008), JavaScript, CSS, MS SQL Server.
Description:
Ecenter is an Internet application used for remote facility management, providing all property information in one place, so the data will remain united and up-to-date. It keeps clients informed on corresponding facilities, incomes, expenditure, property life cycle and maintenance. IIS server side is implemented mainly by ASP.NET (C# and VB) but so powerful functionality requires to integrate of new parts with several old parts implemented by classic ASP. JavaScript is used for the client side�s implementation. MS SQL Server 2008 is used as a DB server for customer databases. MS SQL Server Reporting Services are used for reporting.
Personal roles:
� Analysis & solving all integration problems of the project.
� Designing and creating the whole navigation of the project (including both server and client side of it).
� Designing and creating the whole multilingual functionality for the project.
� Optimization of crucial components.
4.5. Fatman_Service web service
Duration: 2008.
Environment: IIS, C#, .NET (VISUAL STUDIO 2008), MS SQL Server 2005-2008.
Description:
Fatman_Service is a web service that creates a business level of abstraction for databases that serve specific customers.
Abstractions use no database specific notions, just business specifics.
Abstractions use no programming language specific notions, just business specifics.
Abstractions use Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) standard notions and naming as close as possible.
The service is in use at least by Merimieskassa site.
Personal roles:
Designing and creating the web service as the whole.
4.6. InfraPass.
Duration: 2003-2004.
Environment: IIS, C#, .NET (VISUAL STUDIO), JavaScript, CSS, MS SQL Server, Access, MySQL, ADO.NET, COM+, ADO, Object Pascal, Borland Delphi.
Description:
InfraPass was an Internet/Intranet application used for real-time remote building security management based on the LonWorks technology. An initial Intranet version of InfraPass was written in Delphi. An Internet/LonWorks real-time interaction and appropriate Internet user interface should be added to the InfraPass updated version. The Internet/LonWorks interaction problem is solved using COM+ Server written in Delphi. The IIS server side is implemented by ASP.NET. JavaScript is used for the client side�s implementation (only IE compatible browsers are allowed). Web Services are used for communication between the client side and the backend (server-side) database, where the information of the data retrieved from every user interface module was stored. XMLHttpRequest is used to access Web Services from the client side. MS Access, MySQL and MS SQL Server are allowed as backend databases. ADO.NET is used to access the backend database.
Personal roles:
� Analysis & solving Internet/LonWorks interaction problem, designing and creating Internet/LonWorks interface based on COM+ Server.
� Designing and creating the whole Internet part of the project (including both server and client side of it).
� Designing and creating a WebControl (based on DBGrid) that used commonly by InfraPass modules.
� Taking part in the development of automatic installation for the InfraPass, testing and fixing the bugs in the whole InfraPass.
� Taking part in the development of backend DB structure and COM+ Server Delphi-made functions.
4.7. Helpdesk, NettiMaster, Infoagent
Duration: 2000-2004.
Environment: IIS, ASP, C#, .NET (ASP.NET Web Matrix), MS SQL Server, ADO.NET.
Description:
Internet applications used for remote building management. Main ideas and solutions were inherited from the Intranet Fatman Infomaster application. Mainly they were initially made by using ASP/ADO. MS SQL Server is used as the backend DB. One of the essential implementation problems was that reports should use graphics intensively but usage of the Crystal Reports was impossible in this environment.
Personal roles:
� Analysis & solving the graphics problem by ASP.NET/ADO.NET usage instead of just ASP/ADO.
� Converting many of intensively used Delphi-made reports into ASP.NET.
� Designing and creating many new reports, requested by Fatman corporate customers (including electricity/water/fuel usage statistics and estimation, billing, flat reservation information, etc.).
� Taking part in testing and fixing bugs in different modules of Intranet/Internet applications.
4.8. Infomaster.
Duration: 1999 - 2003.
Environment: IIS, MS SQL Server, ADO, Active-X, Object Pascal, Borland Delphi.
Description:
Intranet/Internet applications used for remote building management. The original Fatman Intranet version of Infomaster was made by Delphi and was based on BDE. Some corporate customers requested the Internet access to Infomaster functionality they are familiar. The problem was how to make an Internet user interface preserving all convenient functionality with minimal original code changing (in other words, how to make an appropriate legacy transformation of Infomaster). The problem was solved by using Active-X technology. The original version was converted into the first Internet version of Infomaster (called Infonetmaster). Infonetmaster was an n-tier Internet application that used the Active-X technology to manage the client-side, ASP for the IIS-based server-side, MS SQL Server as a backend DB and ADO instead of BDE to access the DB. Infonetmaster was in use several years and then it was replaced by the new Citrix�based Internet version of Infomaster.
Personal roles:
� Analysis & solving the conversion problem. Idea of using the Active-X approach.
� Designing & implementation & testing & maintenance the whole Infonetmaster � the first Internet version of Infomaster (industrial usage by big corporate customers for years).
� Designing & implementation the Infonetmaster version that was DLL-free (Delphi packages used instead) to avoid some maintenance problems.
� Designing & implementation some Infonetmaster components and instrumentation packages.
� Improving dramatically (up to 100 times) some crucial modules performance.
� Taking part in Infomaster/Infonetmaster security improvement (e.g... using https instead of http).
� Taking part in testing and fixing bugs in different modules of Infomaster/Infonetmaster.
4.9. Tyonhallinta.
Duration: 2001 - 2002.
Environment: Paradox, MS SQL Server, BDE, ADO, Object Pascal, Borland Delphi.
Description:
A legacy transformation of an Intranet application used for internal enterprise management. The original Fatman Tyonhallinta application was made by Delphi and was based on Paradox DB and BDE. The application should be moved to MS SQL Server and ADO preserving all convenient functionality and with minimal troubles for the enterprise stuff using the application.
Personal roles:
Planning & implementation & testing & maintenance the whole Tyonhallinta � (industrial usage by the enterprise for years).
Improving dramatically (up to 10 times) some modules performance.
