News & Achievements

University of Engineering & Management, Kolkata witnessed 'Google' at its best! The day was fulfilled with: i) Lots of tech-talks about different Google products, both existing and upcoming by many renowned top-end developers certified by Google. These include Google services across the country like free wifi, mobile services, etc. Then discussion about mobile app development with less lines of code but with better implementation and optimization. And then about Machine Learning and its uses in the future in Google. The discussion about automated chat-bots using Artificial Intelligence is also encouraged. ii) 'Women Tech-makers' challenge, their journey throughout their life, the journey from almost nobody to a leading Google developers. The women empowerment, that should also reflect to the Technology building is also discussed on a specific 'panel discussion' session. iii) Fun activities with the audience, i.e., the enthusiastic student developers, the working professionals, everyone. The activities include quiz, interactive sessions, question-answer session, etc. iv) The last but not the least, the event ended with around 3-4 hours discussion about "flutter", Google own's open-source mobile application development SDK. These include live developing of apps using flutter technology created by Google. Some of the speakers include: 1) Pawan Kumar, Google Developer Expert for Flutter. Speaker, Entrepreneur, YouTuber. 2) Dhrumil Shah, Mobile Developer at Shipmnts, Co-organizer at GDG Ahmedabad Founder at Flutter Flakes. 3) Abhishek Rungta, CEO Indus Net Technologies. 4) Prajyot Mainkar, Android Man of Goa, Founder of Androcid Media, Speaker, over 8 years of spreading knowledge. 5) Somrwita Guha, Founder, Papercup. 6) Meghna Bhutoria, Founder, Makersloft. 7) Manjir Chatterjee, Founder, Folk . 8) Rivu Chakraborty, GDG Kolkata Lead, Kotlin Evangelist, DroidJam.

Objective and Scope: The Artificial Intelligence brings the growing AI community together to explore the most essential issues and intriguing innovations in applied AI. The objective is to promote theoretical and applied AI research as well as intellectual interchange among researchers and practitioners. Optimization is another important technique in scientific computing. This international workshop aims to provide a platform for researchers working on optimization and scientific computing to gather and enhance the interaction among them. In particular, the workshop gives a forum for researchers to present their latest achievements and explore new research directions. Innovative optimization and AI enabled computing approaches have attracted many research scientists, decision makers, managers, executives, engineers, academicians, officers and practicing researchers in recent years as powerful intelligent computational techniques for solving several complex real-world problems. The International workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Optimization 2018 highlights the most recent research innovations and applications in the fields of Science, Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology and Management.
