Cloud Computing for People

Data mining is the main impetus for the paradigm shift in the manner we conceptualize our surroundings. Modern society extensively depends on models of physical and technical phenomena, which has a predictive power that aids to forecast different issues. The gigantic dataset that has become available explores entirely new methods to realize and model data by using the algorithms. Conjugation of efficient algorithms and statistical properties of data can produce significant contribution in the domain of data mining and implementation of the concept in cloud computing platform would help in addressing several challenging issues.
From the application point of view, it might have several possibilities like Weather forecasting system where a huge amount of distributed data viz. the processed output of the satellite images are to be to be used to make a predictive system. Another application might be financial systems of a country. Thus cloud computing can be deployed for the benefit of the society and its people.

Shubhabrata Roy – Chair

I did my undergraduate study in Jadavpur University, India. After having some indutrial exposure I decided to pursue higher studies. I got an opportunity to pursue my MS in Communication and Network in Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna di Studi Universitari e di Perfezionamento (SSSUP) in Pisa, Italy; fully funded by Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Currently I am working at the Ericsson Reseach Lab in Italy on Next Generation IP over WDM Network as my masters thesis. I wish to pursue a career in Research and Development with an humanitarian point of view.
