Triggered global und ersea cables\, global communication\, information security concerns\, weat her forecasting\, formation of the ITU and time zones.\n\nIn 1946\, anothe r electronic innovation\, the ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and C omputer)) was invented\, ending the era of mechanical calculators. The fir st programmable\, electronic\, general-purpose digital computer.\n\nIn 194 7\, India was liberated. In its 80 year of indepednance\, a software servi ces superpower\, India now looks at 2047 as a significant atmanirbhar Bhar at goals. It is developing unique Digital Public Infrastruture. AI is evol ving fast and new security and privacy measures are evolving.\n\nIn this c ontext of India 2047\, looking at the future\, this symposium reviews 80 y ears of computing history to learn from it as we build the future. Join us for this Nolan-movie like time travel Journey.\n\nIEEE Fellows who have c ontributed to advances in computing\, seen the transitions to modern compu ting talk us through the history and lessons for future computing\, lay ou t the Indian future of AI\, population scale soverign computing infrastruc ture. and the upcoming field of privacy engineering. A privacy engineer\, a term non existent\, non imagined\, in 1946 makes us ready for the future with must have design elements.\n\nAs computing moves into Quantum which gives us speeds improvement like ENIAC gave over mechanical ones\, data ce nters consume gigawatts\, like ENIAC consumed 150 KWatts\, similar challen ges of thermodynamics\, power\, floor space talent etc crop up. AI too was thought of then\, look at it now and where it is going. This was one mach ine\, where security meant physical. A nation had one ENIAC\, now everyone and everything have interconnected computing on them. So we have privacy concerns.We now talk of population scale compute infrastructure\, and talk of inter planetary networks\, (Voyager spacecrafts still send signals). P ast solutions : what can be stopped\, what can we start\, what can we cont inue?\n\nSo we dont forget history. So we learn from history\, So we make smarter designs for the future.\n\nKey Takeaways by Audience\n* Research S tudents: Master first-principles system design from computing history and identify emerging career paths across India’s DPI and cybersecurity ecos ystems.\n* Faculty: Modernize curricula to reflect sovereign platforms\, D PDP mandates\, and pedagogical frameworks drawn from computing pioneers.\n * Researchers: Pinpoint open research gaps in trusted hardware\, cryptogra phic privacy\, and population-scale digital public infrastructure.\n* Indu stry Professionals: Extract practical architectural patterns for sovereign platforms and implement vital security controls required under the DPDP A ct.\n\nRegistration is mandatory\, but free.\n\nSpeaker(s): Vidyasagar\, S andeep\, Sreenu\n\n***CANCELED***\n\nAgenda: \nProgram Agenda\n* 02:00 PM – 02:30 PM: Sign in & Delegate networking over chai\n* 02:30 PM – 02:4 5 PM: Introduction to the symposium theme\, Speaker Welcome\n* 02:45 PM – 03:45 PM: Artificial Intelligence in the era of hypercomputing\, Speak er: Dr. M.
