Inaugural Session: 13 April 2018
The programme started with the registrations of participants. The Inaugural session started with an auspicious lamp lighting by Chief Guest Prof. N.S. Chaudhary, Director, VNIT, Nagpur, Prof. R.K. Agarwal, Dean School of Engineering, JNU, New Delhi, Hon’ble Vice Chancellor Lt Gen VK Sharma, AVSM (Retd.), Pro-Vice Chancellor Prof. (Dr.) M. P. Kaushik, Organizing secretary of the event and Director ASET Maj Gen (Dr) SC Jain, VSM** (Retd), Dean Research Prof. (Dr.) S. P. Bajpai, Dean Academics Prof. (Dr.) R. S. Tomar, Registrar Shri Rajesh Jain, Deans, HOIs, HODs, faculty members of Amity University, Gwalior and participants were also present on the occasion. This was followed by Saraswati Vandana and felicitation of Guests.
Thereafter, Hon'ble Vice Chancellor, AUMP Lt Gen VK Sharma, AVSM (Retd.) delivered the opening remarks and enlightened the participants with the Recent Trends in Computer Science. He said technology has been growing so exponentially over recent years, that there has been a steadily increasing demand for bright graduates to come in and help to transform areas ranging from data infrastructure to cyber security. If you are interested in pursuing a career in computer science, it’s important to stay up to date with the latest trends in computer science research, to make an informed choice about where to head next. He revealed five trends storming the tech industry: Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, Big data analytics, Computer assisted education, Bioinformatics and Cyber security.
He said, with the global robotics industry forecast to be worth US$38 billion by 2018, a large portion of this growth is down to the strength of interest and investment in artificial intelligence (AI) – one of the most controversial and intriguing areas of computer science research. The technology is still in its early stages, but tech giants like Facebook, Google and IBM are investing huge amounts of money and resources into AI research.
In Big data analytics, there has been a surge in demand for experts in this field. From banking to healthcare, big data analytics is everywhere, as companies increasingly attempt to make better use of the enormous datasets they have, in order to personalize and improve their services.
The use of computers and software to assist education and/or training, computer-assisted education brings many benefits. its ability to allow students to engage in active, independent and play-based learning. A fascinating application of big data, bioinformatics, or the use of programming and software development to build enormous datasets of biological information for research purposes, carries enormous potential. Linking big pharma companies with software companies, bioinformatics is growing in demand and offers good job prospects for computer science researchers and graduates interested in biology, medical technology, pharmaceuticals and computer information science. Lastly he said, we live in a hyper-connected world, in which absolutely everything – from banking to dating to governmental infrastructure – is done online. In today’s world, data protection is no longer optional, for either individuals or nations, making this another growing field of computer science research. However, the security of networks remains a challenge particularly when we take a holistic look to include the security of not only networks, but software, applications and most importantly, the data.
Dr. N.S. Chaudhary, Professor, Computer Science and Engg, IIT Indore and Director, VNIT Nagpur, was the Chief Guest and Key Note speaker of the conference. He delivered the Keynote address on Computationally Difficult Problems: An Approach towards Polynomial Solvability of NP-Complete Problems. In this talk, he first reviewed the importance of the P vs NP problem in computer science, and covered very briefly a few conventional approaches. Later, he very briefly covered a few salient points of his work on “Computationally Hard Problems: 3-SAT and its polynomial solvability” and “Improved Polynomial Algorithm for 3-SAT”, that is expected to contribute towards solving P=NP.
Next session was chaired by Prof. R.K. Agarwal, Dean School of Engineering, JNU, New Delhi the delivered a talk on “A Visit to Artificial Neural Network to Deep Learning”. In his lecture he stressed on how information processing is different from data processing. He said that artificial neural network, a supervised learning approach, is one of the well-known classification method in machine learning. A decision model is built based on available training samples. The decision model is further used to predict label corresponding to a new sample. However, the training samples need to be represented in terms of relevant features to build decision model. One has to explore a large set of feature extraction methods to obtain relevant features, which is challenging and difficult. Deep learning method is a subfield of machine learning which aims at automatically learning features hierarchies to represent high level abstractions from the large volume of labelled data. In the past few years, deep learning is successfully applied to many domains such as Natural language processing, Speech processing, Computer vision and Image processing.
Thereafter, the Souvenir of the conference was released. Parallel session was the technical paper and poster presentations by the participants which was chaired by Prof. (Dr.) Raghvendra Sharma and Dr. Vivek Singh Kushwah.
The post lunch session was chaired by Dr. M.D. Bansal, IIITDM, Jabalpur. He delivered a talk on “Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access in 5G networks”. He said that most phones run on 3G and some on 4G, Techworld’s examining the next generation wireless system, 5G. He explained how it works and its impact on future wireless systems. 5G connections must be based on 'user experience, system performance, enhanced services, business models and management & operations'. In 5G a connection should meet most of these criteria: One to 10Gbps connections to end points in the field, One millisecond end-to-end round trip delay, 1000x bandwidth per unit area, 10 to 100x number of connected devices, (Perception of) 99.999 percent availability, (Perception of) 100 percent coverage. 90 percent reduction in network energy usage, Up to ten-year battery life for low power, machine-type devices.
Thereafter, Dr. Neetesh Kumar, Assistant Professor, ABV-Indian Institute of Information Technology (DTU), Gwalior, M.P., delivered his talk on “High Performance Computing”. He explained, High-performance computing (HPC) is the use of parallel processing for running advanced application programs efficiently, reliably and quickly. The term applies especially to systems that function above a teraflop or 1012 floating-point operations per second. The term HPC is occasionally used as a synonym for supercomputing, although technically a supercomputer is a system that performs at or near the currently highest operational rate for computers. Some supercomputers work at more than a petaflop or 1015 floating-point operations per second. The most common users of HPC systems are scientific researchers, engineers and academic institutions. Some government agencies, particularly the military, also rely on HPC for complex applications. High-performance systems often use custom-made components in addition to so-called commodity components. As demand for processing power and speed grows, HPC will likely interest businesses of all sizes, particularly for transaction processing and data warehouses. An occasional techno-fiends might use an HPC system to satisfy an exceptional desire for advanced technology.
Valedictory Function :
The one day conference ended with the Valedictory Ceremony which began with the welcome of guests Dr. Sanjay Tanwani, Professor & Head, School of Computer Science & IT, Devi Ahilya University Pro-Vice Chancellor Prof. (Dr.) M. P. Kaushik, Organizing Secretary and Director ASET Maj Gen (Dr) SC Jain, VSM** (Retd), Dean Research Prof. (Dr.) S. P. Bajpai, Dean Academics Prof. (Dr.) R. S. Tomar, Registrar Shri Rajesh Jain, Deans, HOIs, HODs, faculty members of AUMP, Gwalior and participants. In his valedictory address Dr. Sanjay Tanwani, Professor & Head, School of Computer Science & IT, Devi Ahilya University, talked about “Graph Databases: Operations & Application”. To efficiently handle unstructured data, in recent years, graph databases regained interest among the researchers for certain obvious reasons. One of the most important reasons for such an interest in a graph database is presence of graph everywhere, whether it is social network or biological network, pipeline, drainage, electrical network are few examples. Graphs model represent the strong connectivity within the data and the connectivity between data is better than relational model. Most of the graph database models are defined as vertices, edges with properties defined to both vertices and edges. In such graph database models, data manipulations are expressed by graph-oriented operations and type constructors. Now a days, most of the real world applications can be modelled as a graph and one of the best real world examples is social or biological network. This presentation gives an overview of the different types of databases with focus on graph databases, applications, and comparison between their models based on some properties.
