Invited as “Expert Speaker” on topic "Java and its web Applications” on 12/12/2020.

Dr Sharvari C Tamane delivered an “Expert Speech” on topic “Java and its web Applications" in the One-day national Webinar on "JAVA Past, Present & Future", organised by the Indian Institute of Business Management, Patna and Sponsored by CSI, Patna Chapter.

ICSIDEMPC-2020 was organized to provide an international forum that brings together those who are actively involved in the areas of interest, to report on up-to-the-minute innovations and developments, to summarize the state-of-the-art, to exchange ideas and advances in all aspects of Intelligent Systems and Information Management, technologies and applications.

The concept of smart cities has spurred research and development in the domain of smart innovation i.e. sensor technology, data analytics, energy efficient planning and development, and decision making. Sensor technology is applicable in several domains of engineering, such as Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, where the development of sensors is pioneered by the Electronics Engineering. Such sensors are applicable in and for environmental audit and pollution monitoring, understanding of structural health e.g. bridges, dams and tectonic movements, efficient planning and monitoring of sensor networks through data analytics in the spatial and temporal domains and monitoring of engines related to performance, temperature and wear and tear. The objectives of the conference was to provide opportunities for the researchers, academicians, industry people and students to interact and exchange ideas, to serve as a forum to present and plan future work as well as to exchange research ideas in the field of smart innovations in Design, Environment, Management, Planning and Computing and to focus on innovative issues at international level by bringing the experts from different countries together.

We began our day at 1000 hrs with the inauguration ceremony which was virtually attended by more than 250 attendees, which included the delegates who registered for the conference. The conference was also telecasted live on Facebook via the official channel of MGM University. Prof. Monica S. A. Oliveira, from the University of Aveiro, Portugal attended the conference as a chief guest. Dr. A. K. Nayak, the immediate past president of the Computer Society of India, and Er.
