3. Dr. Ratna G N, Principal research Scientist IISc Bangalore has given a Seminar on "Real time systems and sensor networks" on 08-04-2017. The seminar was conducted in MCA seminar hall. The speaker has discussed about Wireless sensor networks represent a new generation of distributed embedded systems with a broad range of real-time applications. Examples include fire monitoring, border surveillance, health care, and highway traffic coordination. Such systems must meet new kinds of timing constraints under severe resource limitations in highly dynamic environments. Wireless sensor networks challenge many classical approaches to real-time computing. Wireless networking protocols, operating systems, middleware services, data management, programming models, and theoretical analysis all fundamentally change when confronted with such new systems and environment.

4. Mr. Dinesh Sr. Mannager Cognizent Technology Bangalore has given a seminar on Project Management Techniques adapted in the industries on 22/04/2017. Mr. Dinesh explained about the different management techniques used in the industries and their uses.

5. A group of experts form C.DAC Bangalore Mr. Vineeth Simon , Mr. Kalasagar B, Dwarakanath Seminar and workshop on IOT and cloud computing by, scientist, on 19-10-16. The seminar was conducted in SAMS seminar hall.

The speaker delivered about Internet of Things and Cloud Computing and explained about the future of the above technical areas. He said Internet of Things (IoT) and Cloud Computing are the hottest issues of Future Internet. The IoT is the most important concept for the Future Internet for providing a common global IT Platform to combine seamless networks and networked things. Cloud Computing provides backend solutions for processing huge data streams and computations while facing the challenges of everything that will be connected with seamless networks in the future. However, there is a lack of common fabric for integrating IoT and Cloud. In telecommunications, the IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) based on the All-IP and Open Services Architecture, has been regarded as the trend for Next Generation Network (NGN). We believe that the IMS communication platform is the most suitable fabric for integrating IoT and Cloud. In this study, we will provide the discussion of open challenges and possible solutions for Future Internet.

7. Seminar on IOT and its challenges by Dr. S Ramani , Prof Emeritus, Dept., of CSE MSRIT, Former scientist ISRO,banglaore on 12-03-16. The seminar was conducted in MCA seminar hall. Technology is quickly changing the way we interact with the world around us. We are moving towards a new networking paradigm which is Internet of Things (IoT), where number of interconnected sensors or smart objects deployed around the world keeps generating data and transmit over the internet to achieve greater value and services. IoT organizations are trying to create new smart devices which are efficient in all the aspects and be more useful to the society. But there are still challenges that threaten to growth of IoT development. This paper presents the basic architecture of IoT along with many challenges that exists and it demands more research, innovative ideas to overcome such barriers for the growth of Internet of Things.

8. Seminar on Speech Processing and new research avenues by Dr.Shashidhar G Koolagudi, Professor, NITK, Suratkal on 30-10-15. The seminar was conducted in MCA seminar hall. Historical Development and Future Directions in Speech Recognition and Understanding were discussed by Dr.Shashidhar.

9. Seminar on Big Data by Dr.Suchadra Chatopadyay, Associate Professor, C.DAC , Bangalore on 14-03-15.Big data is a term for data sets that are so large or complex that traditional data processing application software is inadequate to deal with them. Challenges include capture, storage, analysis, data duration, search, sharing, transfer, visualization, querying, updating and information privacy. The term "big data" often refers simply to the use of predictive analytics, user behavior analytics, or certain other advanced data analytics methods that extract value from data, and seldom to a particular size of data set. "There is little doubt that the quantities of data now available are indeed large, but that’s not the most relevant characteristic of this new data ecosystem." Analysis of data sets can find new correlations to "spot business trends, prevent diseases, combat crime and so on." Scientists, business executives, practitioners of medicine, advertising and governments alike regularly meet difficulties with large data-sets in areas including Internet search, fintech, urban informatics, and business informatics. Scientists encounter limitations in e-Science work, including meteorology, genomics, connectomics, complex physics simulations, biology and environmental research.

10. Seminar on Managing Big Data by Dr.Susheela Devi, principal research scientist, IISC, Bangalore on 14-02-15. The seminar was conducted in MCA seminar hall.

13. Workshop on An Exposer to world wide web Development skills using J2EE.co-organised by Kaiten Software Solutions,Bangalore, on 09-10-13 The seminar was conducted in MCA seminar hall. J2EE is a multi platform that supports both language and web services and therefore makes it a popular option for most Java application development solutions. A number of different kinds of applications can be designed for e-learning, online polls, e-commerce, Java based applications or services to create customized advanced applications. J2EE developers excel in creating specialized solutions using Java based application development programs.

Web application development has become extremely popular and is used at three different levels such as user services, business services and data services. J2EE or java application development primarily serves the needs of business and companies across the world. J2EE developers are skilled and possess the proficiency in creating innovative J2EE enterprise solutions for businesses across the world. This is the reason why companies choose to outsource J2EE development to J2EE developers in India.

14. Seminar on Big Data & Data Sciences and Virtualization & Green Computing by Dr. Srinivasan , Professor Emeritus, Dept., CSE ,MSRIT, Bangalore on 26-09-13. The seminar was conducted in MCA seminar hall. Green computing is the environmentally responsible and eco-friendly use of computers and their resources. In broader terms, it is also defined as the study of designing, manufacturing/engineering, using and disposing of computing devices in a way that reduces their environmental impact. computing, virtualization means to create a virtual version of a device or resource, such as a server, storage device, network or even an operating system where the framework divides the resource into one or more execution environments.

15. Workshop on Struts, Spring and Search Engines by T.Muthukrishnan, Webzeest Technologies, Bangalore, on 27-03-13. This was conducted in R. Venkatesh Auditorium. Struts the most popular framework for developing Java based web applications. Struts is being developed as an open source project started by Apache Software Foundation. Struts framework is based on Model View Controller (MVC) architecture. The Spring Framework is an application framework and inversion of control container for the Java platform. The framework's core features can be used by any Java application, but there are extensions for building web applications on top of the Java EE platform. Although the framework does not impose any specific programming model, it has become popular in the Java community as an alternative to, replacement for, or even addition to the Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) model. The Spring Framework is open source. A web search engine is a software system that is designed to search for information on the World Wide Web.
