An adaptive walk over a semantic network is possible by describing the domain information in the form of ontology. Leveraging the relationships made between the domain entities by intelligent agents through non-deterministic automation in an object model which is represented in the form of OWL or RDF resource, is the theme of this paper. The successful adaptive walk over a semantic network is with the advent of determining the vicinity of the intelligent agent based on analysing the current service it received, with the prime goal it needs to achieve. The idea of recursive transfer functions is to make the agents travel in the semantic network until the final goal is achieved. The recursive transfer functions takes the current service received from an entity in the semantic network as its parameter and applies the light of the prime goal in order to achieve the next set of possible states. The next set of possible states lie in the similar line of the prime goal to be achieved. The adaptive walk over semantic network aids the agents to act as proxies for human beings there by fulfilling the business needs for the human beings by travelling the vast network of interconnected web resources.

Muthu Jothi introduced an object oriented thinking in designing the test plans for various functional modules which helped drastically in reusing the test plan components of one function to another. He modeled the deployment strategy of the various components present across multiple layer in a product with an Object Oriented UML model. He analyzed the patterns in developing the test plans for various types of functional modules and documented the similarities between the functional modules. He also formed a community for object oriented thinking inside the company which actively conducts seminars and workshops on object oriented system modeling. Muthu developed a truth table based approach for designing the test plan for functional testing of a module and obtained a first class with distinction in Bachelor’s degree under Anna university in Electrical and Electronics Engineering. Muthu also analyzed a most critical functional module in an fault tree based approach which helped in identifying the design flaws of a system
