PDGC CONFERENCE DAY-1

25th November 2022, JUIT, Waknaghat

The Conference begun with an Inauguration Ceremony on 25th November 2022 at 9:45 AM. It commenced with Saraswati Vandana, which was presented by Dr. Ruchi Verma and a few JUIT students. Proceeding, the Conference General Chair, Dr. Hari Singh briefed about the conference. Then, the Principal General Chair and HoD CSE&IT, Prof. Vivek Kumar Sehgal talked about the salient features of the department and the conference.

The conference was then addressed by the Dean, Academics & Research, Prof. Ashok Kumar Gupta. Honorable Vice-Chancellor Prof. Rajendra Kumar Sharma then addressed and shared a very interesting tip and talked about how we should learn things outside our domain while exploring different areas of research during a conference. There were around 240 members attending the conference inauguration. Heading on, all the dignitaries were requested to unveil the souvenir of the PDGC 2022 and the conference was declared open by the Vice-Chancellor. Afterwards, the Conference Chair, Dr. Ravindara Bhatt offered the vote of thanks to all the grandees. The Conference Co-Chair Dr. Rajni Mohana nicely moderated the whole session.

The first keynote talk was presented by Prof. Rajkumar Buyya, Computing and Information System, Melbourne University, Australia at 10:45 AM, who shared his work on Cloud Computing and Big Data/IoT applications in engineering, and health care (e.g., COVID-19), deep learning/Artificial intelligence (AI), satellite image processing, and natural language processing.

Moving on, all the PDGC members were given a short break with high tea along with parallel session refreshments.The second keynote speaker, Prof. Martin Berzins, School of Computing, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA at 12:15 PM addressed the challenge of porting large complex codes to heterogeneous exsacale Computers. His paper described the evolution of The Uintah Computational Framework to be ready for architectures to make portable use of forthcoming exascale systems.

The PDGC members were then provided the lunch break. Second keynote was followed by the parallel sessions-I which began at 2:00 PM.

The third keynote speaker, Prof. Jitendra Chhabra, Department of Computer Engineering, NIT Kurukshetra spoke on the topic, “Developing Intelligent Systems Using Machine Learning and Optimization” at 3:15 PM. He said, “A strong backbone of parallel and distributed computing at the level of hardware as well as software is must to support all such computationally intensive decisions. So, the boundaries of hardware and software are blurred now and world is progressing towards developing intelligent systems comprising of multi-processing hardware, smart parallel/distributed algorithms, IOT devices and sensors and complex software taking intelligent decisions. All such systems internally use lot of structured and unstructured data, ML algorithms, soft computing techniques, and optimization methodologies. So, there is a tremendous scope for the researchers to contribute innovatively in developing such intelligent systems”.

This was followed by the parallel sessions-II which began at 4:15 PM.

PDGC CONFERENCE DAY-2

26 th November 2022, JUIT, Waknaghat

The Seventh IEEE International Conference on Parallel, Distributed and Grid Computing 2022 organized by Department of Computer Science and Engineering and Information Technology at Jaypee University of Information Technology, Waknaghat, Solan, Himachal Pradesh started it’s Day-2 on 26th November 2022 at 10:00AM with a keynote talk by Prof. Jinzhu Gao, Professor Stockton, USA on Intelligent Data Analytics. The second keynote speaker, Prof. Seema Bawa, Thapar University, Patiala, Punjab, India started her keynote talk at 2:00 PM on Paradigm shifts in distributed computing.

On this day 60 papers were presented by various researchers in two parallel sessions. The day ended with unveiling of PDGC-2022 Souvenir and a Conference dinner at resort Eutopia. The IEEE student chapter students’ involvement and contribution made the conference organization easy and successful.
