Faculty Member Attends Workshop on User-Centric Mobile Computing Shares Knowledge with Peers
Mr Naitik ST, Assistant Professor, Department of Information Science & Engineering attended a three-day workshop with hands-on training on User-Centric Mobile Computing organised by the Department of Computer Science & Engineering at IIT, Guwahati.
User-centric computing, particularly in the context of mobile devices, is an emerging field of study. With the advent of affordable smart phones and wearable computers, the field has gained even more prominence. Unfortunately, the area is still not included in the curricula of Indian Universities. The course was aimed to equip the participants with the fundamental concepts necessary for the understanding of the area, along with hands-on exercises on Android programming, an essential component of user-centric mobile computing.
Enriched with this knowledge at the recent workshop attended by him, Mr. Naitik then made a presentation to all the faculty members of Information Science & Engineering and Computer Science & Engineering at Sahyadri. The Principal and the Dean Academic were also present.
