Day 1: 
A FDP was inaugurated by Director-IT, Dr. Sunil Kr. Pandey, Speaker of the session Dr. T.V. Vijay Kumar, JNU and FDP & MCA Coordinator, Prof. Puja Dhar.
After Inaugural Session there were different sessions as mentioned below:
Topic “ Research Directions in Databases”
Speaker: Dr. T.V.Vijay Kumar, School of Computer Systems Science, JNU, Delhi 
While addressing the participants Dr. T.V.Vijay Kumar discussed about Dimensions of distributed Database. He said that tradional database management system is having three level architecture while as Distributed Database have Five Level architecture. He also discussed about the Federated Database Management System [SL90]. He said that any system will have three aspects including interface, application logic and data bank. He also discussed about his research work COJO and also compared its concept with SOJO. Dr Vijay also explained about issues in the materialized view like view selection, view maintenance and view resolution. 
Topic 2: “Mobile Computing”
Speaker :  Prof. K.P.Singh, I.T.S, Mohan Nagar, Ghaziabad
Prof. K.P.Singh discussed about the current trends of mobile computing like 3G, Global Positioning System, Long Term Evolution, WiMax and Near Field Communication. He also said that using mobile computing, people can work from the comfort of any location they wish to as long as the connection and the security concerns are properly factored. In the same light, the presence of high speed connections has also promoted the use of mobile computing.

Topic 3: Internet of Things
Speaker: Dr. Sunil Kumar Pandey, Director-IT, I.T.S, Mohan Nagar, Ghaziabad
In his address he spoke about the historical perspectives of Internet of Things, connectivity mechanism of things, protocol stack used in connecting things/ objects and various related dimensions fueling the growth & development of IoT including: 
a.    Ubiquitous Connectivity—Low–cost, high–speed, pervasive network connectivity, especially through licensed and unlicensed wireless services and technology, makes almost everything “connectable’’.
b.    Widespread adoption of IP–based networking— IP has become the dominant global standard for networking, providing a well–defined and widely implemented platform of software and tools that can be incorporated into a broad range of devices easily and inexpensively.
c.    Computing Economics— Driven by industry investment in research, development, and manufacturing, Moore’s law continues to deliver greater computing power at lower price points and lower power consumption.
d.    Miniaturization— Manufacturing advances allow cutting-edge computing and communications technology to be incorporated into very small objects. Coupled with greater computing economics, this has fueled the advancement of small and inexpensive sensor devices, which drive many IoT applications.
e.    Advances in Data Analytics— New algorithms and rapid increases in computing power, data storage, and cloud services enable the aggregation, correlation, and analysis of vast quantities of data; these large and dynamic datasets provide new opportunities for extracting information and knowledge.
f.    Rise of Cloud Computing– Cloud computing, which leverages remote, networked computing resources to process, manage, and store data, allows small and distributed devices to interact with powerful back-end analytic and control capabilities.
He also spoke on various potential wide range of industry sectors – including automotive, healthcare, manufacturing, home and consumer electronics, and well beyond -- considering the potential for incorporating IoT technology into their products, services, and operations. During the discussion describing IoT as a system where items in the physical world, and sensors within or attached to these items, are connected to the Internet via wireless and wired Internet connections. These sensors can use various types of local area connections such as RFID, NFC, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Zigbee and can also have wide area connectivity such as GSM, GPRS, 3G, and LTE.
Day 2
Topic : “Emerging Data Warehousing Technologies in special reference to SAP HANA & SAP IQ”
Speakers: Mr. Pankaj Gupta, BI Consultant, PSE, Washington, USA
Mr. Pankaj Gupta talked about Data Warehousing, SAP-Business warehousing and Info Q which stores the multidimensional data. He said that fashion and retail market is growing very fast and business analytics is also a new opportunity for the new comers. While addressing the participants he discussed about the drawbacks of the separation. He also explained the difference between OLAP & OLTP. He also covered In-Memory Database for Oracle Server. He also said that SAP HANA hardware costs about 2-3 million with 8-10 Tera Bytes memory. Mr. Pankaj also discussed about Hot data, warm Data, Cold Data and frozen data which is used for auditing the data. He very nicely discussed about that nowadays laptops are coming with no mechanical pars due to crashing of disks and other issues. 
Topic : “Mobile Identity, 5G and M2M”
Speakers: Mr. Gautam Hazari, Technical Director, GSMA & Chief Architect - Vodafone, London, UK
Mr. Hazari while addressing the participants he discussed about the Network 20-20, M2M, IOT, 5th Generation and Digital Commerce. He said that whole web is based on trust. He also discussed about the Rainbow tables, data security reports, data breaches and internet minutes. He also shared that in every 3 seconds every password is compromised or hacked. He also throw some light on the topic Face Identification Online (FIDO). Mr Hazari also discussed 2G,2.9G, 3G,3.5G, 4G and 5G. He said that by 2020 world will have 5G and by 2022 India will also have 5G. At the end of his session he also explained the working of Smart Homes of UK and connected humans. 

Topic : “Wireless & ADHOC Networks
Speakers: Dr. Vinay Rishiwal, MJP, Rohilkhand University, Bareilly

While addressing the faculty members Dr Vinay Rishiwal he discussed about the sensor technology which is available nowadays in every four wheeler. He also explained that how technology is changing our life. He said that use cases should be used in the teaching system. He also discussed about the ABS system of four wheelers. He emphasized on that we should have Project based teaching system in every course. At the end of his talk he suggested all the faculty members to write algorithmatic and solution oriented research papers.
