JMI organises International Symposium to discuss Artificial Intelligence, Big Data Analytics, Cloud Computing and Internet of Things

Department of Computer Science, Jamia Millia Islamia(JMI) organised a one day online international symposium on ‘Recent Technologies in Computer Science’ on June 30, 2020.
Topics like Big Data Analytics, Cloud Computing, Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence were discussed during the day-long symposium.
The theme of the symposium was centred on upcoming technologies, their evolution and applications in disparate domains.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the future of technology, which is impacting every walk of human life. It is the core that drives a majority of the technological applications today. However, the power of AI is unleashed in its true sense only when it is synergistically used with technologies like Big Data Analytics, Cloud Computing and Internet of Things so much so that many applications that were unimaginable to mankind until recently have become the reality of
this era. From smart cities to smart manufacturing, these technologies have touched the personal and professional lives of humans in novel ways.
In recognition of this paradigm shift in technology this symposium was organised by the Department of Computer Science, JMI.
The opening address was given by Prof. (Dr.) Seemi Farhat Bashir, Dean, Faculty of Natural Sciences and Prof. S. M. K Quadri, Head of the Department, Department of Computer Science, JMI.
There were four technical sessions by Prof. Rajkumar Buyya (Director, CLOUDS Lab,
University of Melbourne, Australia and CEO, Manjrasoft, Australia), Prof. Latifur Khan (Department of Computer Science, University of Texas, Dallas, U.S.A.), Prof. Vinod Sharma (Department of Computer Science and Information Technology, University of Jammu) and Dr. Xiufeng Liu (Department of Technology, Management and Economics, Technical University of Denmark).
The topics covered in this symposium provided ample exposure to participants about these upcoming technologies, with experts from around the world talking about their respective areas of knowledge.
