Graduation Project

Overview


This is my graduation project, it was done at Multimedia Resources Systems (MRS), a Tunisian company specialising in Web content development and CD ROM design. The aim of this project was to investigate the case of Arabic script support in Internet applications, mainly the WWW. Another objective of the company was the development of a search engine for Arabic web sites that serves Arabic web pages. The work was supervised by Dr. Mohamed Said Ouerghi from ENSI (who was of great help) and Moez Souabni from MRS.

The best thing you can get out of this work is an idea about writing Netscape Plug-ins, besides it might give a good insight into MIME and text encoding principles. You can download the report in compressed PostScript or PDF format, I have only a French copy. If you need any details about the document, just drop me a mail! The source code for the plug-in (np-hannibal_viewer_src-1.0b.tar.gz) is also available for download. Well, it's an unusable heap of code but it gives some clues on Netscape plug-ins.

The presentation slides are available in English as compressed PostScript or PDF and in French as compressed PostScript and PDF.
