# ICSI_500_Project_3

Develop a practical understanding of task collaboration using socket programming, semaphores, multithreading.

## TO DO: 

- [ ] Write documentation & report for Project 3

- * [ ] Create Sequence Diagram for helper/server/client

- [ ] Need to use CRC encoding for sharing data back and forth from helper and server

- [ ] At end of uppercase, The writer thread will share the data received with the serverEncoder

component (encoding for going back to server)

- [ ] Impliment queue of strings for incoming data strings

- * [ ] This structure will be an array of pointers to strings with integers (pointers) to indicate

the head and tail of the list.

- * [ ] The maximum size of the buffer array will be 5.

- * [ ] Threads should terminate when end of input data is reached. 

- [x] figure out how to do a three way (ie: client -> server -> helper)

## OBJECTIVES

Develop a client/server application using Linux TCP sockets and the C programming language.

Your solution will be based on the code you developed for project-2. You are to add to the Chat

system you developed for project-2 an additional service provided by the server to all client

communication.

## PROBLEM

You are to develop a data processing system to process strings of characters. The solution must

replace all instances of lowercase vowels with uppercase ones.

You are to modify your Chat application such that the server will collaborate with another node

in order to successfully respond to requests from the different clients. The server you developed

for project-2 will share, through a socket, the data component of the frames received with this

new helper node. Your project-2 server will forward the text information from the frames to the

helper node for processing. The helper node will create six threads, process the data received,

and use a socket to share the generated results to the server. All communications between all

nodes will be encoded according to the format defined in project-2
