Department of Applied Sciences, Indian Institute of Information Technology-Allahabad (IIIT-A), India is going to organize “International Conference on Bioinformatics and Systems Biology (BSB-2018)” on 26th to 28th October 2018. The aim of the conference is to provide a platform for researchers, engineers, academics as well as industry professionals across the globe to present and share their research results in different facets of Computational Systems Biology especially in the area of Next Generation Sequencing and Big Data Analytics. Further the “Workshop on Systems Biology (WSB-2018)” has been scheduled on 28th October 2018, to impart a hands-on experience in Chip-Seq & RNA-Seq analysis, for educating and enabling researchers from academia and scientific industries.

Blockchain is an emerging platform for developing decentralized applications and data storage, over and beyond its role as a platform for cryptocurrencies. The basic tenet of this platform is that it allows one to create a distributed and replicated ledger of events, transactions, and data generated through various IT processes with strong cryptographic guarantees of tamper resistance, immutability, and verifiability. Public blockchain platforms allow us to guarantee these properties with overwhelming probabilities even when untrusted users are participants of distributed applications. Even though, blockchain technology has become popularly known because of its use in the implementation of Cryptocurrencies such as BitCoin, Ethereum, etc., the blockchain platform holds much more promise in various areas such as time stamping, logging of important events in a system, recording transactions, e-governance etc. Many researchers are working on many such use cases such as Key Distribution, registry maintenance, health record management, decentralized authentication, decentralized DNS, etc. Also, corporations such as IBM and Microsoft are developing their own applications in diverse fields such as the Internet of Things (IoT). This workshop invites students, academicians and industry researchers to share innovative research work, projects, and their knowledge base in this burgeoning field of technology.

Deep architectures are playing the most important role in the area of machine learning and are considered as the future technology and anticipated a complete paradigm shift in the area of artificial intelligent by the researchers. It is considered to be one of the most active areas of research in signal, image, vision, and biometrics and comprises of supervised and unsupervised models of approach for detection/ recognition/ classification/ synthesization of objects. With the advent of extraordinary computation power and huge data sets, it is possible to model the most complex processes using deep architectures. With the advent of Deep learning architectures, almost all areas of signal processing have undergone significant changes in their approach. This is primarily because machine learning is at the forefront of solving many problems in computer signal, image, vision and biometrics which were thought to be either unsolvable or highly computationally intensive in the past. One of the key ideas which have facilitated this is the introduction of deep architectures, which form the basis of present-day pattern-based recognition problems. The proposed Two-week course will be comprised of approximately 40 lectures followed by 14 hours’ worth of lab demonstration and hands-on approach is intended to help the participants familiarise themselves with Signal & Image Processing, Computer Vision, Biometrics and Machine Learning and pertains to how all of the approaches can be applied to research problems in real life. The course also covers essentials of machine learning, deep neural networks as well as the other models how they can be applied to solve practical problems in computer vision so that more people become interested in signal processing.

Behavioural finance is an emerging area of study which considers the theories based on psychology to elucidate the anomalies in the financial market. Of late there are lots of researches happening in the field of behavioural finance. The development of technology has made accessible the information for the general public. Any information is available to the investors at a relatively faster rate than ever before. With the advent of online trading, the volume and value of transactions in the stock market

The department of Electronics & Communication Engineering is organizing a one month summer training program on “VLSI Design - 2018” from 11th June to 9th July 2018. This training program will cover analog and digital integrated circuit design using commercial technology kits and simulation tools along with exposure to fabrication methods and PCB design. The course will cover theoretical sessions as well as hands on experience on microelectronics & VLSI design related state of art tools like, Xilinx, Synopsis/Cadence, EdwinXP, FPGA, More emphasis on laboratory work will be given during the training. In addition to this, physical design and verification of VLSI systems will also be covered. For more details visit http://stpvd.iiita.ac.in

Thin films are widely used in electronics industries, with application in the fabrication of hybrid ICs, sensors, Photonic/Optoelectronic devices, MEMS etc. This workshop will cover the introductory lectures and hands on practices on the conventional as well as advance thin film technologies. The core areas to be focused will be Metal Oxide Semiconductor storage devices, sensors and photodetectors. Device simulation will also be covered in selected lectures along with the demonstration with Lumerical software. The primary goal of this work shop is to bring together the researchers from various field and infusing expertise of specialist from related disciplines.

Summer Camp 2018 is a 10 days hands-on training program where students can learn basics of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) through practical training by fabricating various innovative project and Drones. The program will be organized by Antrax Labs (an IoT Startup) and PS-1925(a UAV Designing Startup) with the association of Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad. The summer camp is designed to provide direct communication with the experienced persons of engineering and entrepreneurship who will motivate, encourage, and help the participants with career-related discussions. The Summer Camp will enlighten the participants with the basics on the Internet of Things and UAVs. The workshop will be for 10 Days (3 hours per day) from June 1, 2018 to June 10, 2018. During this, sharp minds got involved in project fabrication with the full-time availability of experienced persons of these fields. IoT Kit, Participation certificate, Project Certificate mentioning the Grade Score and Prizes will be given to the participants.
