The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) India, Microsoft Research, and Infosys Ltd co-organised an Academic Research Summit in the area of Computer Science (CS) and related domains to share ideas and results on some of the most exciting new directions in computer science. The idea was to have a conclave where the CS academic research community got together, along with industry researchers and relevant government representatives to discuss and collaborate on exciting trends in computer science research.<\/p>\n

\n

The agenda included keynotes and talks from distinguished researchers and breakout sessions across a wide variety of CS areas. The participants included research scholars and faculty from top engineering institutes from and across the country. The range of interests and breadth of the technical topics covered provided a unique experience for the attendees.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n
