SUMMARY:ISiM Entrepreneurship Dialogue (2) Friday\, 15th of October\, 2010\, ISiM\, Mysore
DESCRIPTION:India\, an emerging economy\, has witnessed unprecedented levels of economic expansion\, along with countries like China\, Russia\, Mexico and Brazil. However\, to sustain the momentum & for India to emerge as a superpower\, major infrastructural changes\, along with socialistic programs that address issues such as poverty and unemployment\, need to be implemented. There has been a growing concern for sustained economic development and has strengthened interest in entrepreneurship education with primary focus on exploring practical measures to augment the supply of entrepreneurs. This belief in the academia has encouraged education and training to inculcate and develop entrepreneurial capabilities in people so that they could set up their own enterprises. \nWhat makes entrepreneurship education distinctive is its focus on realization of opportunity. Given entrepreneurship’s potential to support economic growth\, it has been ISiM’s endeavor to develop a culture of entrepreneurial thinking and indoctrinate students to innovate\, develop finance and business acumen in an effort to transform ideas into economic goods. ISiM’s curricula include a course on “Entrepreneurship” and to make entrepreneurship education more pragmatic. \nA mentoring team from CARMA would engage the students of ISiM in a dailogue\, and will comprise of young innovators and mentors including: \nMr. Anuroop Iyengar\, cofounder of Cognet India Pvt. Ltd\,\n      a company which is into semantics. \nMr. Joydeep Chakrabarthy\, founder of oddroad Pvt. Ltd\, a travel portal. \nMs. Rupa Patil\, founder Weekend Nuts\, Creating & Designing productive\n      and enjoyable weekends. \nMs. Sreeja Iyer\, has 5 to 7yrs experience in the corporate sector and\n      is currently validating on couple of ideas. \nMr. Ganapathy Subburathinam\, a failed ideator\, with over\n      5 yrs experience at CTS experimented with couple of ideas before joining\n      the mentoring team of CARMA headed by Prof. Nandini Vaidyanathan. \nProf. Nandini Vaidyanathan\, Director – CARMA Group\, will be chairing and moderating the dialogue. \nThe dialogue will be held on Friday\, the 15th of October\, 2010\, between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM\, at ISiM\, Mysore. \nThe dialogue is aimed at grooming students to think\, conceptualize and implement ideas\, new technologies into the workplace or market\, increasing efficiency\, productivity or generating new products or services with an objectivity on concepts of Management\, Strategic planning & fund management. The second half of the dialogue is dedicated to an activity of implementing a business plan which would bring out the entrepreneur in oneself. \nFor more information\, please contact:\nMr. Athif Mohammed\nPhone: +91 – 9886772356\nEmail: office@isim.ac.in

SUMMARY:ISiM 5th Anniversary Celebrations Special Lecture (11) by Dr. Edward Cutrell\, Researcher - Manager\, Microsoft Research India\, Bangalore
DESCRIPTION:Date & Time : 15th September 2010\, 3:30pm onwards. \nTopic : Computing for Socio-Economic Development at Microsoft Research India \nVenue : International School of Information Management (ISiM)\, University of Mysore. \nSpecial Lecture Abstract\nAs part of its 5th Anniversary celebrations\, the International School of Information Management (ISiM)\, University of Mysore is organizing a Special Lecture on “Computing for Socio-Economic Development at Microsoft Research India “. \nDr. Edward Cutrell\, who is the Researcher Manager of the “Technology for Emerging Markets Group” at Microsoft Research India\, Bangalore\, will be delivering the lecture. \nThe Technology for Emerging Markets (TEM) group at Microsoft Research (MSR) India addresses the needs and aspirations of people in the world’s developing communities. Their research targets people who are increasingly consuming computing technologies and services\, as well as those for whom access to computing remains largely out of reach. \nTEM is a multidisciplinary group engaged in a range of technical and social-science research\, working in the areas of ethnography\, sociology\, political science\, economics\, and psychology. This has enabled TEM to understand the social context of technology and how it relates to individual users. TEM also does technical research in hardware and software to devise solutions that are designed for emerging and underserved markets in rural and urban environments. \nIn this lecture\, Dr. Cutrell will give an overview of the TEM group and highlights two projects his team has been involved with — one\, which is a study seeking to understand how information technologies are used by very low income residents of urban slums\, and another\, which attempts to provide Wikipedia and other digital content offline using DVDs.

DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with the American Library\, U.S. Consulate General\, the International School of Information Management (ISiM)\, University of Mysore\, is organizing a panel discussion on the theme “Defining Internet Freedom”. The objective is to understand the issues and challenges of the freedom of internet. \nGovernments and societies across the globe have adopted diverse legal and policy positions on the issue of internet freedom. The notion of internet freedom remains an enigma\, and has raised many threats such as privacy\, copyright and others. \nThe question remains how much freedom is too little or too much. This panel will dwell into these issues and contribute to better awareness and understanding of the same. \nHillary Clinton\, the U.S. Secretary of State\, in January 2010 said that the Internet was a new nervous system for our planet\, and that information had never been so free. How different governments and societies confront these new and transformative technologies is the subject of the June 2010 issue of eJournal USA\, published by the Bureau of International Information Programs of the U.S. Department of State. This issue can be accessed on the internet at: http://www.america.gov/publications/ejournalusa.htm#0610\nWe would like to invite you to participate in this event and contribute to the rich interactions. \nThis event will be chaired by Ms. Corinna E. Ybarra Arnold\, who is the Cultural Affairs Officer at the U.S. Consulate General at Chennai. She will also be leading the discussion. The event will be presided by Prof. V. G. Talawar\, the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Mysore\, who will also be moderating the discussion. The panelists include Prof. Shalini R.

SUMMARY:ISiM Workshop on Intelligence & Security Informatics June 17-19\, 2010
DESCRIPTION:Combating terrorism has occupied centre-stage across governments\, security agencies\, policy makers\, academia\, industry and society at large for obvious and understandable reasons. In the academic and industry circles\, past decade has witnessed significant interest in security-related research in a wide range of applications spanning across national and international security\, economic and societal security\, and including personal and community security. Academic disciplines especially centered on Information Technologies such as information and computer sciences\, information systems\, human-computer studies\, technology adoption\, and policy studies have made rapid progress in developing and evaluating customized frameworks\, methodologies\, techniques\, and systems to meet specific information processing and knowledge management challenges of “security” and “Intelligence”. An emerging field of cross-disciplinary study\, called the Intelligence and Security Informatics (ISI)\, encompassing these efforts through an integrated technological\, organizational\, and policy-based approach has evolved. This multidiscipline is shaped by research and applications in fields from data/text/web mining to knowledge management to cognitive science to social psychology. The emergent field also has spawned professional societies and conferences\, to build a professional community – \nThis emergent field has good prospects for and demands best of the young minds to expand and strengthen the domain and help contribute to the end goal of Secure and Smart society. The Workshop would help achieve this goal. \n \nFigure 1. Research framework for ISI from H. Chen\, “Intelligence and Security Informatics for International Security: Information Sharing and Data Mining\,” Springer\, 2006. \nThis workshop on ISI 2010 will provide a learning platform for students and professionals\, who focus on ISI research. We believe that this summer school will enrich the understanding of the emerging domain of ISI. \nThe Three day Workshop will have one talk and three Tutorials: \nTalk: Competitive Intelligence and Business Strategies by Dr. R.N. Prasad\, Senior Lead Principal. Education and Learning Division\, Infosys Technologies\, Mysore. \nTopics covered include:\n\nPrinciples and Practice of CI\nMarket threats\, changes and new opportunities and trends.\nCI categories: Strategic\, tactical\, adhoc and continuous.\nCI Vs. BI\nCI tools\nMetrics and best practices\nWeb Analytics and methods\n\nTutorial 1: Stream Data Mining and Its Applications in security informatics by Dr. Bhavani Thuraisingham\, Professor of Computer Science and Director of the Cyber Security Research Center in the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science\, University of Texas at Dallas. \nAbstract :\nData streams are continuous flows of data. Examples of data streams include network traffic\, sensor data; call center records and so on. Their sheer volume and speed pose a great challenge for the data mining community to mine them. Data streams demonstrate several unique properties: infinite length\, concept-drift\, concept evolution and limited labeled data. Concept-drift occurs in data streams when the underlying concept of data changes over time. Concept-evolution occurs when new classes evolve in streams. Data streams may also suffer from scarcity of labeled data since it is not possible to manually label all the data points in the stream. This tutorial will present an organized picture on how to handle various data mining techniques: in particular\, how to handle classification problem in stream domain\, and how to handle clustering in evolving streams. \nDuring this tutorial we also present how the aforementioned properties are addressed for handling the data mining techniques. \nTutorial Outline:\nWe will introduce stream mining with examples\, and present its characteristics and challenges and current state of the art\, and its application to security. \n\nIntroduction\,\nData mining applications for security\,\nSuspicious event detection\,\nFace detection\nWeb page prediction\nBuilding a classification model using scarcely labeled training data based on semi-supervised clustering and active learning.\nTechniques that address all four major challenges to data stream classification: infinite length\, concept-drift\, concept-evolution\, and limited labeled data.\nClassification techniques for evolving data streams (i.e.\, feature set changing along with concept evolution) focusing on textual stream.\nClustering techniques for evolving data stream.\nApplications of stream mining in various domains including\nCurrent state of the art of data intensive stream mining using cloud computing\, namely\, Hadoop.\n\nTutorial 2: Machine Learning Techniques for Crime Data Analysis by Dr. Michael Chau\, Assistant Professor\, The University of Hong Kong. \n\nIntroduction to Machine Learning\nTypes of Learning\nMachine Learning Techniques\nDecision Trees\nProbabilistic Models\nNeural Networks\nApplications in Crime Data Analysis\nNetwork Analysis and Visualization\nTextual Analysis\nHands on with WEKA\n\n\n\n \nFaculty:\n\nDr. R.N.Prasad\, Senior Lead Principal\, Education & Research — Infosys Technologies Ltd.\, Mysore & his Team.\nDr. Bhavani Thuraisingham\,  Professor of Computer Science and Director of the Cyber Security Research Center in the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science\, University of Texas at Dallas.\nDr. Michael Chau \,Assistant Professor\,The University of Hong Kong.\n\nURL:  http://www.business.hku.hk/~mchau/ \nWorkshop Chair: \n     Shalini R.

SUMMARY:Akshara Foundation\, April 26\, 2010
DESCRIPTION:The delegates from Akshara Foundation\, Bangalore visited ISiM on the 26 Apr 2010 to explore the opportunities of working together on areas of common interest. \nAkshara Foundation is a Bangalore-based Public Charitable Trust with the mission to ensure that every child is in school and learning well. Established in the year 2000\, the foundation has a range of programmes that provide multiple solutions for universalizing elementary education. The organization was set up primarily to improve learning outcomes among primary school children in all government schools in Karnataka. \nThe event started at 4PM with Prof. Shalini R. Urs\, Executive Director\, ISiM introducing the four guests – Mr. Gautam\, Mr. Alok\, Ms. Shivangi and Ms. Tara to the audience. Mr. Gautam then addressed the gathering and spoke about the vision and the operating model of their organization. He told that the vision of the organization was to improve the quotient of ‘functional literacy’ among the students of government schools. As a part of the vision\, it was necessary to continuously monitor the capability of the students over a period of time. This huge amount of data would the need to be analysed to draw meaningful inferences. He encouraged the students pursuing ‘M.Tech in Information Systems and Management’ to take up some of the technical problems related to ‘Data Analytics’ as an internship project and help them solve it. He further opined that this way\, students could simultaneously learn and contribute towards a noble cause. \nDownload the presentation slides

SUMMARY:SNA workshop\, April 7-9\, 2010; Faculty – Prof. Kevin Crowston.
DESCRIPTION:Curtain comes down to the 3 day workshop on ‘Social Network Analysis (SNA)’. We thank the speaker and the participants for making it a grand success. \nDownload Workshop Brochure \nContext and relevance\nSocial network analysis as a field of study is growing rapidly and in popularity. It is now evolving into a new paradigm across academia\, business\, industry\, popular culture and folklore. It is both an approach and a tool to uncover and understand the hidden side of connections that drive certain phenomenon involving a network of human players. SNA is the technique of mapping and monitoring the relationships and flow of information/knowledge between individuals\, teams\, organizations\, electronic devices\, URLs and other interconnected entities. With the success of social networking tools like Facebook\, Twitter\, Myspace and Orkut with the masses\, their influence on the group behavior and opinions are being increasingly felt every day. SNA has gained currency as an effective tool to study those invisible paths or lines that show the ties or links between people\, organizations and phenomena themselves. It has been deployed to uncover and visualize hidden patterns in as diverse groups as academic communities to terrorists communities; as diverse phenomenon as correlating performance and creativity to who will be the next US president. SNA is since being perceived from being a suggestive metaphor to an analytic approach to a paradigm\, with its own theoretical statements\, methods\, social network analysis software\, and researchers. \nWorkshop Objective\nIntroduce the audience to the goals and perspectives of network analysis. \n\nUnderstanding of network data and issues related to collection\, validity\, visualization and mathematical/computer representation.\nMethods of detection and description of structural properties such as centrality\, cohesion\, subgroups\, cores\, roles etc.\nAt the end of the course\, the participants will be\,\nAble to examine data in ‘social networks way’\nIdentify and formulate network analysis problems\nSolve them using network analysis software and\nInterpret the obtained results.\nThe course will be blend of lectures and lab sessions.\n\nAbout the Faculty:\n \nProf. Kevin Crowston is a Professor of Information Studies at the Syracuse University School of Information Studies since 1996. He received his A.B. (1984) in Applied Mathematics (Computer Science) from Harvard University and a Ph.D. (1991) in Information Technologies from the Sloan School of Management\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). His current research interests include: empirical studies of coordination-intensive processes in human organizations; theoretical characterizations of coordination problems and alternative methods for managing them; and design and empirical evaluation of new kinds of computer systems to support people working together. A specific example of the final interest is the application of document genre to the World-Wide Web. \nSoftware tool used for analysis:\n Pajek – Program for Large Network Analysis (read more…) \n  \nWho should attend?\nHealthcare Professionals \nSocial network analysis has been used in epidemiology to help understand how patterns of human contact aid or inhibit the spread of diseases such as HIV in a population. \nInformation Managers \nThe evolution of social networks can sometimes be modeled by the use of agent based models\, providing insight into the interplay between communication rules\, rumor spreading and social structure. \nAdministrative Agencies \nSNA can also be an effective tool for mass surveillance – for example the analysis of social networks to determine whether or not a particular individual has criminal tendencies. \nInnovators/Change Managers \nDiffusion of innovations theory explores social networks and their role in influencing the spread of new ideas and practices. Change agents and opinion leaders often play major roles in spurring the adoption of innovations\, although factors inherent to the innovations also play a role. \nBrand Managers \nIt has been widely accepted that the social networking sites have tremendous influence on forming opinions about products/brand. An understanding of the nature and dynamics of social networking can be invaluable. \nMarketing Executives \nThe digital marketing age has brought with it a plethora of options to market once products and services.
