CSI(Computer Society of India) on the
topic Exponential growth of the AndroidOS. The enthusiastic students CSE,
ISE and MCA got to interact with Mr.
Amit Surana, Managing director, Smar-
gav Solutions. Mr. Amit opened the ses-sion by giving a brief introduction about
Android OS. This was followed by the
details and software specifications of
the same. The talk was titled,
Exponential growth of the Android OS.
Mr.Amit spoke about the entry of An-
droid into the smartphone industry andalso about its notable market share in
India and overseas. The students were
well informed about the features of An-droid and also other vital things like
Application framework and Web kits.
Mr. Amit encouraged the students to
actively involve themselves in applica-
tion development. The session was trulyinspirational and a complete fun-filled
technological experience.
The Department of Computer Scienceand Information Science Engineering inassociation with the Computer Society ofIndia successfully organized a coding
contest titled Conquer C++. It was a two
day event. Conquer C++ took place on the
19th and 20th of March. The event com-
prised three rounds. Round one was the
void or return round. The students had
to rack their brains to tackle the tricky
multiple choice questions. Fifty students
of a possible 160 qualified to the second
round- Unlocking the Code. Segments ofprograms had to be debugged. The final
round was named C++ overloaded. Thetop 10 contestants vied for the top spot by
solving complex problems in C++ by writ-
ing code and executing it. The event pro-vided a platform for future programmers
to showcase their talent and was also
aimed at building confidence. The whole
event was truly educative and informa-
tive.

Mainframe
A mainframe is thecentral data reposito-
ry, or hub, in a corpo-
rations data pro-
cessing center, linked
to users through less
powerful devices such
as workstations or
terminals. We use the
term mainframe in this
text to mean comput-
ers that can support
thousands of applica-
tions and input/output devices to simultane-
ously serve thousands of users.
IBM introduced zEnterprise System, which
is the first of its kind. It was purposefully
designed to help overcome fundamental
problems of today's IT infrastructures and
simultaneously provide a foundation for the
future. The zEnterprise System brings about
a revolution in the end-to-end management
of diverse systems, while offering expanded
and evolved traditional System z capabilities.
With zEnterprise, a system of systems can
be created where the virtualized resources
of both the zEnterprise 196 (z196) and se-
lected IBM blade-based servers, housed in
the zEnterprise BladeCenter Extension
(zBX), are pooled together and jointly man-
aged.
End-to-end solutions based on multi-platform workloads can be deployed across
the zEnterprise System structure and benefit
from System zs traditional qualities of ser-vice, including high availability, and simpli-
fied and improved management of the virtu-
alized infrastructure.
Because many mission-critical workloads
today have one or more components onSystem z, using System z environments for
z/OS databases and other capabilities, the
ability to co-locate all of the workload com-
ponents under the same management plat-
form and thereby benefit from uniformly
high qualities of service should be quite
appealing and provide tangible benefits and
a rapid return on investment (ROI).For the first time it is possible to deploy an
integrated hardware platform that brings
mainframe and distributed technologies
together, producing a system that can start
to replace individual islands of computing
and that can work to reduce complexity,
improve security, and bring applications
closer to the data they need.
IBM introduced zBC (Business Class) 12
System, is extended support for growing big
data and cloud computing. The zBC12 is
powered by up to 18 microprocessors run-
ning at 4.2 GHz. The zBC12 can be config-
ured with up to 13 processors running con-current production tasks. There are also
environmental savings both in terms of thedata center footprint and
electricity used when
you're consolidating, say,
24 servers down into one
box. The Enterprise Linux
Server can run more than
3,000 Linux apps, and
supports analytics and
cloud computing for Linux
on System z.
Advantages: The zBC12
comes with software tools
to support analytics, cloud
and mobile computing
capabilities. Delivers in-
creased performance,flexibility and scale in a lower cost package.
Helps save money through consolidation on
Linux and an efficient cloud delivery model.
The zBC system provides deployment of
new workloads such as cloud, analytics and
mobile: z/OS (2.1 Version), Linux on System
z and IBM POWER7 blades and IBM System
x blades. Currently in Maintec Technologies,
Bangalore, we have z9 zEnterprise System
with z/OS 1.12 Version.
Today, mainframe computers play a central
role in the daily operations of most of the
worlds largest corporations, including many
Fortune 1000 companies. In banking, fi-
nance, health care, insurance, utilities, gov-
ernment, and a multitude of other public andprivate enterprises, the mainframe computer
continues to form the foundation of modern
business.
The new mainframe owes much of its pop-
ularity and longevity to its inherent richness
in reliability and stability, a result of continu-
ous technological advances since the intro-
duction of the IBM System/360 in 1964. No
other computer architecture in existencecan claim as much continuous, evolutionary
improvement, while maintaining compatibil-
ity with existing applications. The term main-
frame has gradually moved from a physical
description of the IBM larger computers to
the categorization of a style of computing.
One defining characteristic of the mainframehas been a continuing compatibility that
spans decades.
Corporations use mainframes for applica-
tions that depend on scalabilityand reliabil-
ity. For example, a banking institution could
use a mainframe to host the database of its
customer accounts, for which transactions
can be submitted from any of thousands of
ATM locations worldwide.
Businesses today rely on the mainframe to:
Perform large-scale transaction processing
(thousands of transactions per second),
Support thousands of users and application
programs concurrently accessing numerous
resources, Manage terabytes of information
in databases and Handle large-bandwidthcommunication.

The Life And Works Of Alan Turing
Alan Mathison Tu-ring was an English
mathematician, war-
time code-breaker
and pioneer of com-
puter science. He is
best known for the
key role he played in
cracking the
'unbreakable' German Enigma codes in
World War II, and thereby helping to win the
war. He also created the Turing machine,
which can be considered a model of a gen-eral purpose computer.
Born on 23 June, 1912,
Turing lived with his
brother and relatives in
England, while his par-
ents lived in India untilhis father's retirement
from the Indian Civil
Service in 1926. Turing
studied mathematics at Cambridge Univer-
sity and went on teach there, working on
the world of quantum mechanics. It was at
Cambridge that he developed the proof
which states that automatic computation
cannot solve all mathematical problems;
this concept, known as the Turing machine
became the basis for the modern theory of
computation. In 1936, Turing went to
Princeton University in the US for two years.
He then worked secretly part-time for the
British cryptanalytic department, the Gov-
ernment Code and Cypher School, and took
up full-time work at their headquarters in
Bletchley Park once the war began. His
major contributions here include those to
the Enigma machine, which was a machine
for encryption and decryption of secret
messages. Turing had something of a repu-
tation for eccentricity at Bletchley Park. He
was known to his colleagues as 'Prof' and
his treatise on Enigma was known as 'The
Prof's Book'. While working at Bletchley,Turing, a talented long-distance runner,
occasionally ran the 40 miles (64 km) toLondon when he was needed for high -level
meetings, and he was capable of world-
class marathon standards. Though his work
remained secret for many years, Turing was
awarded the OBE by King George VI in
1945, for his wartime services.
From 1945 to 1947, Turing lived in Rich-
mond, London while he worked on the de-
sign of the ACE (Automatic Computing
Engine) at the National Physical Laboratory
(NPL). He presented a paper on 19 February
1946, which was the first detailed design of
a stored-program computer. In 1948, he
was appointed Reader (a senior academic
with a distinguished international reputation
in research or scholarship) in the Mathe-
matics Department at the University of Man-
chester. In 1949, he became Deputy Direc-
tor of the Computing Laboratory there,
working on software for one of the earliest
stored-program computers. During this time
he continued to do more abstract work in
mathematics, and in "Computing machinery
and intelligence".
Turing ended his life tragically by commit-ting suicide on 7 June, 1954. He has never-
theless made huge contributions to the fieldof computer science, and thus earned the
title of "The Father of Computer Science".

CompCloud Know Your Technology Ubiquitous computing
Ubiquitous computing is the method of enhancing computinguse by making many devices (services) available throughout the
physical environment, but making them effectively invisible to the
user. (Mark Weiser)
Ubiquitous means present everywhere, simultaneously encoun-
tered in numerous different instances. Computers become a
useful but invisible force, assisting the user in meeting his needs
without getting lost in the way.
It tries to construct a universal computing environment (UCE)
that conceals (hides):
computing instruments
Devices
Resources from applications or customers
Technology
Invisible to users
Characteristics of Ubiquitous computing Applications
Context-awareness (also a key characteristic of perceptual
interfaces)
Improvised and dynamic interaction
Interactions among applications are based on specific con-
text
Goals
The promise of ubiquitous computing: a life in which our tasks
are powerfully, though invisibly, assisted by computers.
Aspect Oriented Programming
In computing, aspect-oriented programming (aop) is a programming paradigm that aims to increase modularity by allowing the separa-tion of cross-cutting concerns. AOP forms a basis for aspect-oriented software development.AOP includes programming methods andtools that support the modularization of concerns at the level of the source code, while "aspect-oriented software development" refers
to a whole engineering discipline.
Aspect-oriented programming entails breaking down and encapsulation of concerns into separate, independent entities by providing
abstractions (e.g., procedures, modules, classes, methods) that can be used for implementing, abstracting and program logic into dis-
tinct parts (so-called concerns, cohesive areas of functionality). Nearly all programming paradigms support some level of grouping com-
posing these concerns.

Tesla Aims to Charge Electric Cars in Five MinutesTesla Motors is pushing the limits of charging technology to make electric vehicles as practical as gas -powered
cars. Electric vehicles take too long to recharge. Tesla Motors is quickly reducing the charging times. Last
September, it unveiled a network of supercharging stations designed exclusively for its Model S and future
electric vehiclesthat could charge a battery halfway in 30 minutes. In May, it announced an upgrade that cut
that time to 20 minutes. Now Teslas chief technology officer, JB Straubel, says the company eventually could
cut the time it takes to fully charge the battery to just five minutes or not much longer than it takes to fill a gas
tank.

Smartphone Cradle, App Detect Toxins, Bacteria In FoodThe handheld biosensor was developed by researchers at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.A series of lenses and filters in the cradle mirror those found in larger, more expensive laboratory devic-
es. Together, the cradle and app transform a smartphone into a tool that can detect toxins and bacteria,
spot water contamination and identify allergens in food.
Kenny Long, a graduate researcher at the university, says the team was able to make the smartphone
even smarter modifications to the cellphone camera.

Researchers have developed a robot called DAVID that is capable of creating amazing art on canvas
using a camera, special software, 24 colour palette and just five brushes. Scientists have developed a
new artist robot that can choose from five brushes and 24 colours to create a vibrant piece of art and
can even decide where to add the next stroke. The name David was chosen because it stands for what
the researchers tried to accomplish:
Drawing Apparatus for Vivid Image Display.
The robot cleans the brushes itself and takes pictures of the canvas so that it can access the areas that
need more paint. Developed by a team at the University of Konstanz in Germany, David uses software to
decide where to add the next brush stroke. After each brush stroke, e-David takes a picture, and its software calculates such
moves as where the image needs to be lightened or darkened. Researchers said their project objective is to build a robot that
can paint, pure and simple. The device takes a picture of what it wants to copy. The robot watches itself paint and decides whereto add the next stroke, constantly tweaking its moves based on what it's seeing through a camera pointed at its canvas.

2. Choose a font and type out a word or a phrase. I chose the word star and
used the Bauhaus 93 font. Fill it with a color of your choice. Duplicate the layer. You
should now have three identical layers. (Step 2a)
Next select the stars layer and go to Filter > Noise > Add Noise and add differ-ent amount of noise to each layer. I chose 20, 21, and 22. (Step 2b)
3. Download star brushes,
(http://www.deviantart.com/resources/applications/psbrushes/?qh=§ion=&q=star)
Create a new layer on top of each of the text layers. Select the
brush tool and place some stars on top of your text. Be sure to
create a different pattern for each text layer.
4. Go to Window > Animation and create three frames. (Highlighted the but-
ton to create new frame) The first word layer and the first sparkle layer should be active on the first
frame. See the image (Step 4) to see which layer should be selected on which frame. Frame delay
time should be 0.2 sec. Now press play.

Engineering Life
Istill remember the first day of my bachelor's degree at MVJ, everything was different and new. I choseto become an engineer in the field of Computer Science. In my childhood days I would fill out slam
books and write Computer Science Engineer as my ambition! I had never worked on a programming
language before, in fact I didn't know how and what it was? Back in my 11th and 12th i chose biologyover computers to follow my dads path and get a degree in medicine. But things changed and today I
am happy with my decision of becoming an Engineer! I thank Mom and Dad for all their support, without
whom I would not have made it this far. Most of the credit goes to my lecturers at MVJCE for their guid-
ance and support in teaching and helping me gain knowledge, from the basics of programming to allother skills that I have acquired today. I had very good teachers, under whom learning was fun. The memory of all my lecturer s who
have taught me and mentored me will forever be etched in my memory and I am grateful to each and every one of them.
Apart from all the labs and classes, I had the best group in the entire college; we were known to be outstanding students. Out-
standing in a sense, always outside the class for many reasons, be it technical fest or cultural fest, department event, semi nars or
spreading some news to all the students and many other things. If anybody wanted to look for us, they would be guided to the Cof-
fee day Express near canteen, that's where anybody would find us. I had the best times at MVJ with my crazy group of friends. Every
semester and everyday was a full of fun and excitement. The last minute assignment submission, one night studies for the internals,
going to the teachers for important questions, arriving late for the morning classes, bunking classes after lunch, etc. , I miss all these
small things I had taken for granted.
Today I find myself far away from home, family and friends overseas in a distant place. I am pursuing my Masters in Computer
Science at Florida Institute of Technology, in Melbourne, Florida, United States of America. The education system here focuses more
on practical knowledge. What I like most about this system is the flexible education, the freedom to choose subjects every semester
as per our interests. I got to learn basics of lot of subjects at MVJ. Subjects like Computer Networks, Analysis of Algorithms, Data-
base system Management, Compiler Design, Operating System, Object Oriented Programming, Web
Programming etc. Also topics on the various types of attacks and techniques to keep away from theseattacks are covered. Every day I get to learn something new here. After my Masters I am planning to
work for a couple of years here, and return to India to step up my own company, if things go as
planned.
