Early this month (Mar 7th) I was asked to give the keynote talk at INDIACom: 2014 IEEE International Conference on \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Computing For Sustainable Global Development<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. I gave my talk on Cloud Computing since it has been in the news a lot recently and there is a lot of interest in it from the general public. It was a pretty amazing experience and I had a lot of fun at the conference as I got to meet some pretty interesting folks with whom I discussed various things\/technologies.<\/p>\n

As the conference was in Delhi I had to fly there from Bangalore for the weekend and since I also wanted to avoid taking too many days off from work we decided to take a late flight to Delhi on Thursday night. Unfortunately though, our flight got delayed by an hour so instead of landing at 11:30am as expected we got there at 12:30am and by the time we got home it was almost 1:30am. Once home I did a bit more prep for the talk and crashed. Then I had to wake up early the next day to get ready so I could be there on time but thanks to traffic we got delayed and got there just about in time for the talk. <\/p>\n

The funny part was that I was introduced as ‘Prof’ Suramya Tomar initially but thankfully they corrected it later. The talk went well and most of the questions I got during the talk were about how private the cloud is and how safe the data that is stored on the cloud is compared to traditional storage. <\/p>\n

After the talk I sat through a few of the technical papers that were being presented and they were all pretty interesting. I did get a physical copy of the conference proceedings (a book about 1 1\/2 inches thick) with all the papers that were presented that I am planning to read one of these days when I get some time. <\/p>\n

One of the interesting things I noticed during the sessions was that about 60-70% of all the papers were authored\/co-authored by women which is something that was very surprising to me as normally during such conferences the ratio is the other way round. <\/p>\n

I am planning on transcribing my talk (I have my notes and the outline I created, plus a video of the talk) and posting it on the site sometime later this month\/early next month. I will also expand on the talk with a few articles I am planning to write so keep an eye out for new items on the site (will announce it on the blog when I post stuff) in the near future.<\/p>\n

Well this is all for now. Will write more later.<\/p>\n
