Prof. R. K. Vyas\, National President\, CSI welcomed all the invited guests and participants . Prof. M. N. Hoda\, Director\, Bharati Vidyapeeth's Institute of Computer Applications and Management (BVICAM)\, New Delhi also addressed the sessi on and discussed the background note of conducting such Webinars through v irtual platforms. He emphasized that these webinars act as networking tool s to connect people from across the world and help them to adapt to a New Normal life\, a new ecosystem caused by COVID-19.

He fir st introduced the topic to the participants. He discussed and showcased wi th live examples that Edge Computing\, one of the emerging paradigm\, repr esents a new trend to improve the overall network efficiency by delivering low-latency\, energy consumption\, bandwidth-efficient and resilient serv ices to IoT users that allow computation near to the data sources which is at edge of network and additional benefits like cyber security / physical security\, privacy\, interoperability as the processing occurs close to e dge. He also discussed that with Edge Computing adoption coupled with a cl oud strategy is set to increase\, where greater proportion of IoT applicat ions would run on the edge. Webinar also had discussion on current trends in the Edge IoT ecosystem\, Edge Node / Edge Gateway\, Industrial Challeng es\, Emerging technologies & protocols\, Smart Factory\, Critical use case s\, Evolving standardization bodies\, Evolving hardware platform and open source platforms for software development.\n\nThe session concluded with Q uestion & Answer round where participants willingly asked their queries\, followed by a concluding remarks by Prof. Ajay P.
