Buffers, Concurrency and Wikipedia

This mini-project involves interacting with Wikipedia and performing many operations.

Some of the learning goals for this project are:

• Working with external libraries (such as jwiki ,gson, and antlr);
• Implementing reusable datatypes such as a FSFTBuffer;
• Using multi-threading to handle certain aspects of the implementation;
• Managing shared memory when multiple threads are involved;
• Implementing parsers for a given grammar and executing queries on a database.

In this assignment, I used:

• Use external libraries and APIs for data processing;
• Implement concurrent processing of related operations;
• Implement core computing abstractions such as caching;
• Parse and execute structured queries.

1: Implement FSFTBuffer

An FSFTBuffer can be used to implement a data cache.

2: Make FSFTBuffer Thread-Safe

3: WikiMediator

4: WikiMediatorServer

Survivability Across Sessions

5: Structured Queries
