1 REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Report on: National Workshop on Computer Networking (NWCN)-2010 Inaugural Session: (L to R: Er. RS Vyas, Dr. SS Rathore, Prof. A.K. Sharma, Prof. S.S.Chahal, Prof. VK Srivastava, Dr. RS Shekhawat, Dr. Dharm Singh) A three days national workshop on computer Networking (NWCN-2010) was organized by Computer Society of India- Udaipur Chapter, The Institution of Engineers (India), Udaipur Local Centre and Techno India NJR Institute of Technology, Udaipur during May, 2010 at Techno Campus, Udaipur Rajasthan. A book entitled "A Practical Approach towards Computer Networking" authored by Dr. Dharm Singh, Honorary Secretary Udaipur Chapter and Organizing Secretary was released by hon'ble vice-chancellor Prof. S.S. Chahal in the inaugural function of the workshop which covers hands-on networking laboratory experiments design. Objectives of the workshop were hand-on computer networking trying to make education in computer networking more concrete. Traditional courses in networking do not provide hands-on access to Internet equipment and software. In fact, courses that provide exposure to actual network environments are still mostly absent in an undergraduate curriculum. The workshop covered hands-on networking laboratory experiments which are complement components to classroom lectures of Computer Networks. A design of such lab sessions was presented with the goal to help students in academic studying environment to gain some industry-oriented training and deepen their understanding of networking technologies learned from textbooks and classroom lectures. It included network-device configuration, network topology design and setup, network packet analysis and network troubleshooting. With the release of very first announcement of this workshop, a large number of academicians, scientists, researchers and technocrats/ industrialists showed keen interest to participating in this workshop.

2 The workshop was scheduled to be deliberated in eleven different keynote sessions which includes key notes addresses and hand-on experience. Dr. Dharm Singh organizing secretary of this workshop delivered "NJR Memorial Lecturer" with practical issues pertinent to Communication over network. Almost 200 delegates from different sates: Haryana, Uttar Pardesh, Delhi, Andhra Pradesh, and Rajasthan are participated in the workshop. Hon ble Vice Chancellor of MPUAT, Udaipur Prof. S.S. Chahal was the Chief Guest of the inaugural function of the workshop along with Prof. Virendra Kumar Shrivastava Dean, CTAE, MPUAT, Udaipur as the Guest of Honour. The Key Note Speaker of the session was Prof. A. K. Sharma, Dean and Head (CSE), YMCA University of Science and Technology, Faridabad. Hon ble Chief Guest Prof. S.S Chahal shared his views about the development of computer networking in the rural areas for the development of farmers and their betterment. Guest of Honour Prof. Virendra Kumar Shrivastava gave some knowledge on the advancement in the field of computer networking. Er. R.S. Vyas, Chairman, Organizing Committee welcomed all the guests and students to the workshop and also shared the information about the MOU signed between Techno India NJR Institute of Technology and Sheffield Hallam University U.K. Final year student can move in Sheffield Hallam University U.K. for their betterment. Dr. R.S Shekawat, Chairman, CSI, Udaipur Chapter gave a brief information about the Computer Society of India. Dr. S.S. Rathore Chairman, IE(I),ULC shared their his views about the Institution and its development Dr. Dharm Singh, Organising secretary has expressed that workshop will provide a strong base to the computer networking education as the conventional degree level syllabus of networking does not provide complete information about the necessity of networking and its software. The practical session in the workshop will be complimentary to the theoretical knowledge obtain by the students in the classrooms lecture. The other aspects covered during the workshop were about the current network industry, the recent trends in hardware and software, their design set-up, packet analysis and addressing networking faults.

8 Recommendations: 1. Networks make it easy to establish ad-hoc collaborating communities of people and computing devices. The devices should be configured and reconfigured automatically, as nodes appear, migrate, and disappear. 2. The demand for network technologies and communications is large and growing rapidly. Networking should be on-demand, with whomever or whatever they want, regardless of time or location. To meet these requirements, industry has invested heavily in a variety of wireless and wireline communications technologies, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. 3. Hands-on networking laboratory experiments are complement components to classroom lectures of Computer Networks. By learning from the networking laboratory experiments, students in academic studying environment gain some industry-oriented training and deepen their understanding of what they have learned from textbooks and classroom lecturers. The underlying rationale is that direct interactions with networking devices help students to learn from the practice. 4. The laboratory facility has the flexibility to allow students to experiment with and explore the issues and challenges associated with networked computing systems and communication structures. 5. Hands-on networking laboratory experiments should be in the syllabus of undergraduate level students. The hands-on experience with software and hardware will improve their understanding of the underlying principles and concepts in computer networks while better preparing them for employment or graduate studies. 6. The Design of physical infrastructure should be scalable. 7. Planning for laying the optical fibre cable for Gagabit connectivity should be decided by administration of the city by assuming that each and every house will be connected through optical fiber up to Physical infrastructure can be implemented by the concept of Public Private Business partner. Like a road transport toll tax can be taken to compensate the cost of laying of physical media and maintenance in future. The proper layout and drawing should be available with the administration. Further digging and cutting of roads should not be allowed to any internet service provider and cable T.V operators they can leased the fibre cable from administration. 8. Once the Gagabit connectivity is available at user premises all ICTs applications like e- education, tele-medicine, tele-agriculture, e-market, e-billing and other online services can be access at their home on payment basis. 9. Wireless connectivity in the urban areas can also be monitor by the administration, so interference of the information can be minimized. Dr. Dharm Singh (Organising Secretary) 8
