An automated fuel-optimal air traffic management system for airport ATC (Air Traffic Control) is proposed in this paper. The paper proposes a novel methodology for routing and management of aircraft within the airspace managed by the ATC (Air Traffic Control) of an airport. The proposed system will allocate the most fuel efficient combination of runways at the airport to specifically cater to the flights currently being served by the airport. The system examines various parameters such as current wind conditions, air time, taxi time, type of aircraft, etc. to determine the most efficient combination of runways in terms of overall fuel consumption. It will use a dynamic programming methodology to determine most efficient combination of runways to cater to the current flights under management by the Air Traffic Control. Also, it will automatically design a schedule that will maintain the necessary separation between two aircraft so as to avoid wake turbulence vortices. It will conclusively demonstrate, with experimental results, the magnitude of the economic and environmental impact of the proposed system.

An automated fuel-optimal air traffic management system for airport ATC (Air Traffic Control)
is proposed in this paper. The paper proposes a novel methodology for routing and management
of aircraft within the airspace managed by the ATC (Air Traffic Control) of an airport. The
present system relies on a static methodology that serves flights on a first come first serve basis
and determines runway combination solely based on wind conditions.
The proposed system will allocate the most fuel efficient combination of runways at the airport
to specifically cater to the flights currently being served by the airport. The system examines
various parameters such as current wind conditions, air time, taxi time, type of aircraft, etc. to
determine the most efficient combination of runways in terms of overall fuel consumption. It
uses a combination of greedy and dynamic programming methodologies for optimizing routes
for take-off and landing sequences at major airports resulting in potentially massive savings in
fuel burn and air time of flights.
It will use a dynamic programming methodology to determine most efficient combination of
runways to cater to the current flights under management by the Air Traffic Control. Also, it
will automatically design a schedule that will maintain the necessary separation between two
aircraft so as to avoid wake turbulence vortices. The latter part of this paper will focus on
simulations of real life airport operations for a particular time slot.
It will offer a comparative study of fuel-burn when current procedures are followed vis-a-vis a
simulation of operations using our system. It will conclusively demonstrate, with experimental
results, the magnitude of the economic and environmental impact of the proposed system.

SQL injection is a code injection technique, used to attack data-driven applications, in which malicious SQL statements are inserted into an entry field for execution (e.g. to dump the database contents to the attacker). SQL injection must exploit a security vulnerability in an application's software, for example, when user input is either incorrectly filtered for string literal escape characters embedded in SQL statements or user input is not strongly typed and unexpectedly executed. SQL injection is mostly known as an attack vector for websites but can be used to attack any type of SQL database.
This project is designed for attacking the database of www.rankspc.co.uk / android application database from a remote location.
SQL injection is designed using Microsoft Visual Studio 2013.

        I had an opportunity to interview, hire, manage and closely mentor Aakash in Laureate. During his tenure, Aakash had shown very impressive technology and interpersonal skills, impressed me and fellow team members across divisions with his energetic & self-motivated enthusiasm. Aakash very quickly picked up Salesforce CRM and different technology stacks within the platform (Sales, Service, Developer DX, Meta-Data API and, Customer Community clouds) and hit the ground running with release management function. Further, on his personal interest. Aakash also participated in the Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery workspace and contributed with piloting the Developer DX release automaton techniques using Jenkins automation, GitHub, Selenium, SonarQube and Artifactory technologies. Aakash has demonstrated excellent communication skills and top-notch interpersonal skills while dealing with key stakeholders from technology and business sides. Aakash also contributed to strategic initiatives that benefit the firm in the long-run. I appreciate Aakash’s contributions to the firm and I am looking forward to working with him again.
