It is not just about career advancement or getting recognition. Publication is a critical step in the scientific process. Your discoveries will foster innovation and help advance technology for public good. But that can only happen if your research can be read, understood, and built upon by your fellow researchers and engineers. This guide is designed to help you succeed as an author. In this guide, you will learn how to prepare, write, and submit your manuscript for peer review by an IEEE conference, journal, or magazine. We will show you how successful authors structure quality work to improve their chances of being accepted. You will find practical tips on how to select an appropriate periodical or conference, organize your manuscript, write in a clear and grammatically correct style, and work through peer review. You will also learn how to avoid common mistakes and ethical lapses that will prevent your manuscript from being accepted and may damage your reputation. Read the guide at: https://mc.manuscriptcentral. com/societyimages/tgrs/author_guide_interactive%20English.pdf *Zero Days, Thousands of Nights: The Life and Times of Zero-Day Vulnerabilities and Their Exploits* Zero-day vulnerabilities — software vulnerabilities for which no patch or fix has been publicly released — and their exploits are useful in cyber operations — whether by criminals, militaries, or governments — as well as in defensive and academic settings. This 133 pages report provides findings from real-world zero-day vulnerability and exploit data that could augment conventional proxy examples and expert opinion, complement current efforts to create a framework for deciding whether to disclose or retain a cache of zero-day vulnerabilities and exploits, inform ongoing policy debates regarding stockpiling and vulnerability disclosure, and add extra context for those examining the implications and resulting liability of attacks and data breaches for U.S. consumers, companies, insurers, and for the civil justice system broadly. The authors provide insights about the zero-day vulnerability research and exploit development industry; give information on what proportion of zero-day vulnerabilities are alive (undisclosed), dead (known), or somewhere in between; and establish some baseline metrics regarding the average lifespan of zero-day vulnerabilities, the likelihood of another party discovering a vulnerability within a given time period, and the time and costs involved in developing an exploit for a zero-day vulnerability.

Hennessy, former president of Stanford University, and David A. Patterson, retired professor at the University of California, Berkeley, will speak to how computer architecture is “on the cusp of another Golden Age” during the International Symposium on Computer Architecture this month. Hennessy and Patterson were named as recipients last March of the 2017 Turing Award, often called the “Nobel Prize for Computing,” which carries a $1 million prize with financial support from Google. In an advance summary of their lecture, to be given at the ISCA 2018 in Los Angeles, the two scientists herald a new era for computer architecture that “will significantly improve cost, performance, energy, and security,” they say. Hennessy and Patterson won the Turing Award for their pioneering an approach to create faster, lower power, and reduced instruction set computer (RISC) microprocessors, which constitute 99% of the 16 billion microprocessors found in nearly all smartphones, tablets, and Internet of Things devices.

Are you a book lover?
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 04 Jun '18

04 Jun '18

Book lovers won't like to miss this opportunity. I have seen books sold as second-hand, by weight, 'pick any at XX rupees' etc but only now in box-lots. Warning: Only for Hyderabadis!! ====== thehindu.com <http://www.thehindu.com/books/lock-the-box-bookchorcom-hyderabad-sale-2018/…> ‘Lock The Box’ presents the city with a bountiful buffet of books Divya Kala Bhavani 4-5 minutes ------------------------------ Books-by-weight *sales * <http://www.thehindu.com/tag/754-702-684/sales/?utm=bodytag>are commonplace in Hyderabad, but Guragon-based BookChor.com will be bringing something new to the table that will surely enchant bibliophiles. Lock The Box is coming to Hyderabad for the first time and the Facebook event page is already seeing plenty of excitement from the city; fit all the books you want and pay just for the box. The boxes - Odysseus: Use your wit like the legendary Greek to fit a minimum of 8 to 10 books priced at ₹999. - Perseus: Slay the modern Medusa with this box priced at ₹1,499. It can easily accommodate 15 to 17 books. - Hercules: The mightiest of the lot at ₹2,499 and can easily hold up to 28 to 30 books. The now two-year-old BookChor.com sells secondhand books online and have completed orders from all the states of the country with a current online readerbase of 300,000. “We have just started with offline events and apart from this, we also have an wholesale arm. Also, we have started collaborating with schools to convert their libraries into smart libraries by introducing technology and other relevant books,” comments co-founder Alok Sharma, who runs the organisation along with Bhavesh Sharma, Prateek Maheshwari and Vidyut Sharma. He is delighted with the universal response towards Lock The Box from the country, “We are overwhelmed with the response we are getting on social media, with requests from major cities. We have been getting positive comments and feedback for our event and this is mainly because readers are happy with the kind of offer they are getting for the books they are getting and they are finding the concept interesting and refreshing.” The project started out with a seed of a thought; in spite of having a dot-com name, why not start an offline event? “We wanted to do something interesting for readers and also ensure they do not feel burdened with the price of the books,” explains the 24 year-old former engineer, “So, in Lock The Box, books are not priced. It’s only three differently sized boxes which are priced, in which readers can accommodate as many items as possible so that no one discriminates books on the basis of price or weight.” To add to the fun value of such an endeavour, Alok and his team came up with prominent names for each box size: ‘Odysseus’, ‘Perseus’ and ‘Hercules’ for all the heavy-lifters at the sale. [image: A shot from a ‘Lock The Box’ priced-by-box sale | Photo Credit BookChor.com] A shot from a ‘Lock The Box’ priced-by-box sale | Photo Credit BookChor.com BookChor.com did a pilot event last November in Delhi to observe traction where they saw a good turnout, and then requests from all over the country to do it in their respective cities poured in, specifically from Pune, Bengaluru and Delhi. Following the success of these events, Alok and his team organised three events every month in the major cities before the year end. He avers, “At our events in Pune and Bengaluru we have seen daily visitors from around 5,000 to 10,000. Although 60% of the people attending were from the age group of 18 to 26, we saw a good turnout from the parents as well buying books for their kids, which came out to be 30% of the visitors,” adding, “It is really fortunate to see millennials turn up for the offline book event in this digital age. Readers are actually interested in the event and seeing them select over 28 to 30 books speaks volumes of the growing trend of readership in India.” Taking place at the vast space offered by Vasavi Kalyana Mandapam, the event promises to attract hoards of students too. And it’ll be interesting to see people fit as many books as they can, jenga-style, into one box. *‘Lock The Box’ will be happening at Vasavi Kalyana Mandapam from June 15 to 17; 9am onwards.* ============== Dr P Vyasamoorthy 040-27846631 / 09490804278 In New Gmail opening the attachment alone is possible leaving the message unread!

Mr.K C Gangadhar awarded Ph. D. Degree Dear All, I’m happy to inform you that Sri K.C.Gangadhar who is working as Senior Librarian in Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology has been awarded Ph.D. by the Rayalaseema University for his research on the topic “Comparision of Open Access and Commercial Library Automation Systems: A Meta-analysis” under the guidance of Dr. M.Vasanthakumar, former Sr.Librarian of Adichunchanagiri Institute of Medical Sciences, Bellur Cross,Nagamangala Taluk, Mandya Dist.Karnataka, who is presently working as Head - Technical Section, Imam Abdulrahman University (IAU), Dammam, Saudi Arabia. K.C.Gangadhar has several publications to his credit in reputed journals and conference proceedings. He is the one who cleared UGC-NET examination in 1993.He fought against the bureaucracy when KPSC called for Librarian post in First Grade Colleges with qualification MLISc with UGC-NET and one more Master Degree. Though MLISc is also a Master degree, KPSC fixed two Master Degree qualifications for the Librarian post. He fought alone in Karnataka Administrative Tribunal (KAT) without support from any Library organizations, though judgment came in his favour, KPSC not responded positively. Again he approached KAT for ‘Contempt of Court’ and got the order in his favour. But by that time state Govt. stopped all appointments due to financial crisis. I wish him success in his future endeavors.

Interesting Reads – 2018-06-01

*Interesting Reads – 2018-06-01* *Beyond The Big Data Buzz: How Data Is Disrupting Every Business In Every Industry In The World* This eBook looks at the practical impact Big Data is having on business and organisations in: Healthcare; Retail; Manufacturing; Financial Services, Banking and Insurance; Education; Transport and Logistics; Agriculture and Farming; Energy; Government and Public Sector; Hospitalities, Hotels and Restaurants; Professional Services; Sports; and Businesses built on data. This eBook is a must read for anyone who would like a complete overview of what big data really means, industry by industry. Download this ebook from https://www.bernardmarr.com/img/Beyond%20the%20Big%20Data%20Buzz.pdf *Blockchain: Unpacking the disruptive potential of blockchain technology for human development* Technologies old and new are propelling the current wave of innovation around the world. Artifcial intelligence, robotics and machine learning are all gaining new ground and being deployed in a wide variety of contexts globally. One of the more cryptic but oft-hyped technologies is blockchain, an emergent technology developed as part of Bitcoin, the cryptocurrency invented in 2008. Whereas Artifcial Intelligence and robotics innovations seem to have a dark side, many perceive blockchain technology as a platform for positive and even radical change. Yet for developing countries, the high sophistication and complex infrastructure requirements (bandwidth, connectivity and high operating costs) of this technology might prove challenging if countries intend to be active players and not just end users or consumers. Exploring the relevance of new technologies to address existing socio-economic gaps and support internationally agreed development targets including the globally-recognized Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is critical for countries in the global South. The question for developing countries is not only how this could be workable but also who could be involved in harnessing blockchain technologies to close development gaps, foster social inclusion and promote democratic governance. This white paper explores the potential blockchain technology could have in fostering human development in developing countries. The frst part (after the executive summary) provides a non-technical overview of blockchain. It then moves to illustrate the range of applications in development areas and sectors from a public/private goods perspective. The third section examines the actual relevance of blockchains in developing countries. The paper concludes with a series of recommendations for additional research and potential development programming using blockchain technologies. The annexes lay out the information and communications technology for development (ICTD) framework and a more technical presentation of blockchain technologies. This paper centers on blockchain applications that go beyond cryptocurrencies. The core focus is thus on the use of blockchain technology as a generic 5 application platform in developing countries. Full paper at https://idl-bnc-idrc.dspacedirect.org/bitstream/handle/10625/56662/IDL-5666… * This device lets you talk to your computer - without saying a word* MIT researchers have developed a computer interface that can transcribe words that the user concentrates on verbalizing but does not actually speak aloud. The system consists of a wearable device and an associated computing system. Electrodes in the device pick up neuromuscular signals in the jaw and face that are triggered by internal verbalizations — saying words “in your head” — but are undetectable to the human eye. The signals are fed to a machine-learning system that has been trained to correlate particular signals with particular words. The device also includes a pair of bone-conduction headphones, which transmit vibrations through the bones of the face to the inner ear. Because they don’t obstruct the ear canal, the headphones enable the system to convey information to the user without interrupting conversation or otherwise interfering with the user’s auditory experience. The device is thus part of a complete silent-computing system that lets the user undetectably pose and receive answers to difficult computational problems. In one of the researchers’ experiments, for instance, subjects used the system to silently report opponents’ moves in a chess game and just as silently receive computer-recommended responses. Full post at https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2018/04/computer-system-transcribes-words-us… *Click G For Media Monopoly *With many teeth in the information dissemination pie, Google has popped up as the new Big Media—without really creating any ‘content’ Google Games - Google decides the advertising rates for different publications by its own metrics. - The company, a mass aggregator, does not pay publishers directly for content created. - Google, without a ‘permanent establishment’ in India, is still battling tax authorities. - Publishers have complained about the Chrome ad-filter, which will block advertisements it deems intrusive from February. - Concerns over search manipulation have led to the European Union cracking down on the web giant. “Currently, the predominant business model for commercial search engines is advertising. The goals of the advertising business model do not always correspond to providing quality search to users.” Read the interesting article at https://www.outlookindia.com/magazine/story/click-g-for-media-monopoly/2996… *Some Changes in Information Technology Affecting Marketing in the Year 2000* Text of a presentation made by Mr. Paul Baran (an Internet pioneer, who had invented packet switching techniques that can be credited with playing a key role in the development of the Internet. Baran received many accolades in his life including the IEEE Alexander Graham Bell Medal, National Medal of Technology and Innovation, and the National Inventors Hall of Fame.) to the American Marketing Association, in July 1968, predicting changes in communications media by the year 2000 and their effects on marketing. Cost considerations in marketing distribution will encourage major innovations through the use of computer systems. Large-screen, colour, person-to-person TV communication will be available well before the year 2000. Coupled to a huge automated information storage and processing base, and equipped with push buttons, the screen and computer will restructure merchandising concepts. Shopping will be done at home via TV display. Consumers will be able to select items and compare advertising claims more rationally than today. The "serendipity" or "impulse buying" effect can be maintained by an extra TV selector that will provide randomness in selection to any degree desired, duplicating the behavior of individual buyers in conventional shopping.

Dear all, Pl. find the call for participation in WORTICS 2018 -- National Workshop on Technology Trends in Cyber Security 2018 being held during 29-30 Jun 2018 at Chennai Pl. find he pdf brochure at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1l_piROjfjGix5yQJRP4DRK_ag6I3ZdbR/view?usp=… Pl. find the pdf regn form at https://drive.google.com/file/d/18WMAo4M9Sp922XWBGikkUipnUbrG-fOT/view?usp=… As seats are limited, early registration is suggested. Pl. share this email with your contacts who may be interested in this workshop. With regards HR Mohan CALL FOR PARTICIPOATION ===================== National Workshop on Technology Trends in Cyber Security 2018 (WORTICS 2018) 29-30 June 2018 Organised by Society for Electronic Transactions and Security (SETS) (A Government of India Initiative) In association with IEEE Computer Society, Madras Chapter Computer Society of India, Chennai Chapter ISACA, Chennai Chapter ABOUT SETS Society for Electronic Transactions and Security (SETS) is an initiative of the Central Government through the Office of the Principal Scientific Adviser (PSA) to the Government of India. SETS was established for the purpose of nucleating, sensitising and developing technologies that can protect the information wealth of the country. Such an idea to form a specialized organisation in the area of information security was conceived by Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, former President of India and was implemented in 2002 by then PSA to GoI, Dr R Chidambaram. SETS is engaged in the research areas of systems security, network security and cryptology. SETS has signed MoUs with leading institutions specialising in information security. THEME OF THE WORKSHOP The world is embracing ICT technologies and our nation is marching towards Digital India with increased penetration of Internet usage and smart phones resulting in growing use of Internet for financial, banking, e-Health, e-Governance, e-Commerce in the form of mobile applications. The exponential growth and use of social media has made technology as an essential part of our day to day lives. While the objectives of the use of technology for improved performance, productivity, transparency are being met, the concerns of increasing threat canvass, cyber-attacks, financial frauds is quite alarming. The cyber fraudsters/hackers are improving their skills and developing the easy to attack tools. These negative elements are even finding the ways and means of countering the preventive security measures being deployed in the computing systems and networks. An Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) is a malware which first infiltrates a system and does long-term damage/eavesdropping silently. While Internet of Things (IoT) gave lot of flexibility with anywhere, anytime monitoring and control of various systems, in applications such as Smart Cities, Smart Grids, Smart Homes, Smart Governance etc. it has also resulted in raising the cyber-attacks exponentially. Use of technology is inevitable.

Dear All Greetings !!! Knowtro is the product of many years of research and development, undertaken by researchers and students for researchers and students. Knowtro has: - Identified elements of knowledge shared across research disciplines and mapped the elements critical to the successful transfer of knowledge from document to user. - Built a technology-facilitated process whereby complex analyses can be distilled for ease of discovery and use. Findings from published research papers in only the top academic journals are added to the platform daily. - Implemented a search results display feature that (1) uses consistent, logical expressions about research findings rather than happenstance excerpts of text, and (2) prioritizes results *not* just by usefulness, but by validity. *Have a look at Simple and Detail View for the search keyword - INNOVATION LEADERSHIP* *Simple View - https://www.knowtro.com/search;q=innovation%20leadership;page=1;pageSize=20 <https://www.knowtro.com/search;q=innovation%20leadership;page=1;pageSize=20>* *Detail View - https://www.knowtro.com/search/detailed;q=innovation%20leadership;page=1;pa… <https://www.knowtro.com/search/detailed;q=innovation%20leadership;page=1;pa…>* -- Warm Regards Dr. Sandeep Bhavsar *Head - Learning Resource Centre* *Prin.

A sad Sunday. Dr. Venkateshan, has suddenly left for his heavenly abode this morning, leaving us. Starting his career as a scientist (metallurgist) in IGCAR, he made librarianship a successful career there and came to national prominence as he moved up in the LIS ladder to IISc and Indian School of Business, Hyderabad. A vibrant, fun loving and amazingly enthusiastic person, he made LIS his cosy and engaging professional home giving it a touch of scholarship. A new annual seminar series, he launched and led three years ago along with Anil Kumar (IIM-A) is a very different and innovative model to remember and continue after him. I worked with him closely when Informatics had launched Infovision 2005, an annual event then. We miss him. We pray for his soul to rest in peace. -- *SATHYA* *|*N. V.

Congraduation to Dr.Ishwar Bhat
by D.V. Patwardhan 27 May '18

27 May '18

Kindly publish the following line in LIS-Forum: Congradutions to Dr.Ishwar Bhat. Glad to learn that Dr.Maligemane Ishwar Bhat is promoted as Pro Vice-Chancellor of Presidency University, Bangalore. I know Dr.Bhat ever since we were hostelmates in "Subrahmanya Sadana", Mangalore during 1973-74. In 1974 he more to Bengaluru to join MLIS in Bangalore University. As there were not adequate faculty in the Dept. of Library Science, Bangalore University at that time, Dr.Bhat was fortunate enough to have Prof.G.Bhattacharya, Prof.Neelmeghan and Dr.M.A.Gpinath as teachers. Dr.Bhat is a dynamic person and had aptitude for learning new knowledge and skills all along his life and this perhaps took him this height. Dr.Bhat has a simple and friendly personality. I wish him all the success in the years to come. With regards,D.Vasudeva PatwardhanSr.Librarian (Rtd.) GAT, Bengaluru.
