Diyatech provided design and development services to Lycos for parts of their Lycos
Financial Feed System. Diyatech developed a summarization server and various feed
parsers to be incorporated in the overall distributed feed management system. Both
systems were developed in Java 2 on Solaris 7 platform. Summarization server was a
multi-threaded socket server that provided news summarization to clients through the
network. And, the output from the Financial feed parsers was fed into the Financial feed
database for future queries and reports.
