segmentation techniques used by major corporations. The result of the project was to
creation of a taxonomy of Customer segmentation, also included the use of data mining for
CRM.
Design of a Supply Chain Management System using UML
January 2003 – March 2003
The project was to design a successful Supply Management System for a Soda giant from
the step of acquiring raw materials to the production of finished product. The development of
the project was based on use of Unified Processes.
Challenges in Data Integration of Gene Expression DBMS
September 2003 – December 2003
The data integration challenges involved in building a system for managing gene expression
data were discussed, these challenges have been addressed in our system and in the
context of several system integration projects.
A data warehouse approach and tools were used in developing the system and were found to
provide an effective environment for developing a system to support the integration and
management of data from diverse sources, in which data was imprecise and was in the
process of evolving over time.
