Seminar and Events

Department has conducted various events in the academic year of 2009-2010 

The year started with the event of How to s of the Ph.D. research in Computer Science held on 1^st September 2009 in Mara. Here aspirants of various colleges throughout Mumbai were gathered and were guided by various research guides on how to go about Ph.D and the upcoming research areas in Computer Science. 

Following this event was a NET-SET workshop on 1^st -2^nd November 2009 conducted by the Department and supported by SET Examination Unit, University of Pune. Here aspirants were guided by various experts on how to go about the study for NET and SET examinations. Experts from Mumbai and Pune Universities were invited and with their systematic approach and guidance, aspirants were motivated and the 2 day seminar completed with great success. 

Department conducted an International Symposium on Soft Computing In Collaboration with Rough Set Society on 1^st and 2^nd December 2009. It was a part of the initiatives of celebrating International Rough Set Year. The organization of this event had a twofold intention. Participants presented their work, discussed the novelty of the techniques and the gathering got more inputs to elevate themselves. It was be a proper platform for the young researchers to interact with the experienced ones in this field. The topics like theory and practices of softcomputing research, beauty and myths of softcomputing were illustrated with the selected case studies from the projects in India and abroad. Also, there were sessions on the shift of paradigm in computation from deterministic to softcomputing, critics on softcomputing research for its limitations etc.  

Year 2010 started with a one day workshop on Expert Systems and Automatic Theorem Prover which was conducted on 16^th January. There were two sessions on how to write an Expert system and one session giving the demonstration of an Automatic theorem prover that follows Dijkstra’s equational reasoning. Followed by which, the participants had a hands on session to practice Prolog to develop an Expert system of their own.   

Department then conducted the 3 week’s Refresher’s Course along with Academic Staff College entitled Advancement’s in Computer Science and its Applications held from 28^th January to 17^th February 2010. This program was a part of in-service training of teachers for up-gradation of their knowledge and professional skills. Government of India has assigned this responsibility to the University Grant Commission to conduct this course for college and university teachers. 

Speakers from all domains of computer science were invited to give talks on the upcoming and current research areas.
