The Software Defined Lighting(SDL) system is an invention patented by Philips which makes use of the Software Defined Network(SDN) paradigm to control dynamically a lighting IP network formed by lights and sensors.
The aim of the project is to build a demonstrator of a SDL system only with software.

- Tasks and responsibilities
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Set up the architecture of the demonstrator.
• Extended mininet (open source network simulator) to make it possible to emulate IP lighting networks. Designed and implemented the new classes with Python.
• Designed and implemented the graphical user interface to control and monitor the SDL system. Used Python , PyQt and QtDesigner.

HORUS is a compact and lightweight X-Band airborne radar system that provides air to air, air to surface and air to ground radar operation in all-weather, night-andday conditions.

- Tasks and responsibilities
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Designed and developed the software for the radar control processor. This is the module that controls every subsystem of the radar, so it must communicate with other software modules through different protocols such as TCP/IP or OpenMPI. The response ot this module is time critical, as it´s the main machine state of the radar system.
• Designed with OOD and UML and developed with C++ on real time linux operating system.
• Managed software configuration using SVN.

The ADS-B ground station is an equipment which brings the benefits of the Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast. Automatic dependent surveillance – broadcast (ADS–B) is a cooperative surveillance technology in which an aircraft determines its position via satellite navigation and periodically broadcasts it, enabling it to be tracked.

Automatic dependent surveillance – broadcast (ADS–B) is a cooperative surveillance technology in which an aircraft determines its position via satellite navigation and periodically broadcasts it, enabling it to be tracked.

- Tasks and responsibilities
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Designed and developed new functionalities for the ground system (which was already implemented) using C++ on linux operating system.
• These new functionalities consisted of an SNMP layer to control and monitor the ADS-B ground system, new interfaces with other subsystems and adapt the existing software to support a more configurable system.
• Made also modifications in an internal tool to visualize the aircrafts position (using visual studio C++) to support these new interfaces.

• Designed and developed the software for the radar receiver and distribution processor. This is the module that receives the samples from the Radar Signal Receiver and controls other parts.
• Designed with OOD and UML and developed with C++ on VxWorks operating system.
• Integrated with Radar Signal Receiver developed by FHR in Germany. Went to Germany to discuss the main problems between the two systems.

Its solid-state low power design allows highly reliable operation with very simple maintenance.

- Tasks and responsibilities
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Wrote the Software Design Document for the new version of the radar (SMR v2). The version v1 was already implemented, but it was obsolete and it was difficult to maintain, mainly because of a wrong previous design.
• Design with OOD aproach to achieve the goal.
• Transfered all the code written in C to C++.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• The radar was being developed since 5 years ago. It was necessary help to finish the project according to the deadlines, so that I joined one of the software teams that is in charge of developing the Signal and Control Process software module.
• Added new interfaces to the software module to interact with other modules, using IPC, TCP/IP and MODBUS communication.
• Designed and developed the Modbus Communication Library to control Modbus devices.

Was my Bachelor Thesis at University of Alcala. Designed and developed the remote control of the Lanza Radar´s spinning system controlling frequency variators through Modbus commands over the TCP/IP layer communication.
The thesis was done in collaboration with Indra Systems.

Mark of 9 points.
