As those of you who have been reading this site know, I was in Delhi last week, to present my concept on the framework for a Smart System for a Contextual Location Based Service Provision Technology. The main feature of the Concept was the introduction of a new Locating Technology that could work as an alternative to the Global Positioning System (GPS). We call it the Cellular Positioning System (CPS). The MapIndia conference was at the Taj Palace in Delhi, and when I had looked at the website for the conference, I realized that what I was going to, was a real serious Industry-oriented conference! It isn’t students who just come together to compete and win prizes here! No way!! It was a Conference where Industry, Government and Academic Institutions came together to exchange ideas and views.

As you will have noticed, there’s been a slight change in the visual aesthetics of the site from today. This is owing largely to two factors, ONE, some people complained that some graphics were not visible on Mozilla Browsers, so I had to compensate for that, and TWO, it was about time for a change!

So, the latest news is, I have been selected for a Workshop on Firewalls (the Computer Network ones) at Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, during their annual “Techfest”. So I’ll be in Bombay from the evening of 27th January 2005, to the 30th/31st of January 2005.
