Better utilization of assets
More sustainable power
Integration of Green and renewable
resources at a massive scale
Cloud Computing
• Cloud computing powers us to select the
applications on an pattern of use and pay
basis. Some thing like the Direct to Home
or Electricity or water billing that we are
using in day to day life. In more simpler
terms it utilizes the idle time – software ,
server and IT Infrastructure to give benefits
to end users.
Cloud Computing – Main Types
• Virtualized Computing Platform
• Scalable use of computing resources
• Pay-per-Use concept
PLATFORMAs A SERVICE-Build on it
Software-AS A SERVICE-Consume it
Infrastructure- AS A SERVICE-Migrate to it
Cloud Computing – Indian
Outlook
• India’s Unique IDentification (UID) project is one
of the most ambitious example of cloud
computing
• State Bank of India’s i-Collect initiative is an epayment system based on cloud computing
• E-TAPS the e-tendering project by Airports
Authority of India is a cloud computing based
system which offer several benefits including
online payment for Tender Fee, digitally signed
document, price bid, encryption among others.
Linguistic Diversity in India
•
•
•
•
22 are constitutionally recognized languages.
Linguistic Diversity is very rich and wide in India
One Language –many script
Many Language –one script
Language Technology in India
• Machine Translation in India is relatively young.
• The Language and Translation Industry of India
thus provides rich prospects for mutually
enriching collaborations across the globe.
• The earliest efforts date from the late 80s and
early 90s. Prominent among these are the projects
at IIT Kanpur, University of Hyderabad, NCST
Mumbai and CDAC Pune.
• The Technology Development in Indian
Languages (TDIL), an initiative of the Department
of Electronics & IT has been instrumental in
funding these projects.
Language Technology - Challenges
Language issues are the result of differences in how
languages around the world differ in display,
alphabets, grammar, and syntactical rules.
• Bidirectional scripts
• Capitalization, Uppercasing and Lowercasing
• Complex Script Awareness
• Fonts
• Input Method Editors
• Keyboards
• Line and Word Breaks
• Unicode
e-Governance
• e-Governance:– e-Governance is the application of Information and
Communication Technology (ICT) for delivering
government services, exchange of information
communication transactions, integration of various
stand-alone systems and services between
Government-to-Citizens (G2C), Government-toBusiness(G2B),Government-to-Government( G2G)
as well as back office processes and interactions
within the entire government frame work.
Challenges in e-Governance
• Lack of IT Literacy and awareness regarding benefits
of e-governance
• Underutilization of existing IT infrastructure
• Attitude of Government Departments
• Lack of coordination between Govt. Department and
Solution developers
• Resistance to re-engineering of departmental
processes
• Lack of Infrastructure for sustaining e-governance
projects on national level
Ubiquitous Computing
• Definition:– human-computer interaction in
which information processing has
been thoroughly integrated into
everyday objects and activities.
• It consist of small, inexpensive, robust
networked processing devices,
distributed at all scales throughout
everyday life
Ubiquitous Computing
Major Work in Ubiquitous
Computing
• National Ubiquitous Computing Research
Centre (UCRC), Centre for Development of
Advanced Computing (CDAC), India.
• Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing Group,
Indraprastha Institute of Information
Technology, Delhi (IIIT Delhi), India.
• Computer Technology Group, Department of
Electrical Engineering, IIT Delhi,
Nanoelectronics
• Nanoelectronics refer to the use of
nanotechnology on electronic components,
especially transistors.
• Nanoelectronic devices can be used in many
fields like Quantum computing, Medical
diagnostics, Energy production, Memory
storage, etc
Nanoelectronics in India
• Capacity building for R&D in Nanoelectronics in
taking place in many institutes across India
including IITs at New Delhi, Chennai, Mumbai,
Kanpur, Kharagpur and Roorkee, IISc Bangalore,
C-MET Pune, CEERI Pilani, CSIO Chandigarh,
Jadavpur University Kolkata, Jamia Millia
Islamia, Visvevaraya Institute of Technology
