PKR 300/- (PKR 250/- for IEEE members)
WiMaX (10:00am to 11:30am)
By Motorola
Registration Fee: PKR 100/-
The talk would be covering basic introduction to WIMAX as a last mile technology for the deployment of high speed broadband in urban as well as remote populations. To get consistent performance and high throughputs over the air, WIMAX deploys many technologies. Used together, these technologies provide one of the most advanced air interfaces in the world today. To improve performance, WIMAX uses advanced antenna technologies, adaptive modulation, scalable OFDMA, advanced power control and power management. Although, 802.16 defines both Line-of-Sight and Non-Line-of-Sight operation, this presentation would be limited to the air interface characteristics of Non-Line-of-Sight system.

Development of Embedded Systems using Real-Time Operating Systems
(12:00pm to 1:00pm)
By Mentor Graphics
Registration Fee: Free with IEEE Week registration!
Every gadget that you hold is basically an embedded system. This brief talk will discuss how these gadgets are developed in accord with advancement in compute technologies like multi-core architectures and how Real-Time Operating System help in the optimized and smart utilization of hardware resources.

Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) (1:30pm to 3:00pm)
By Dr. Ali Hammad (KICS)
Registration Fee: PKR 150/-
Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) is a version of the Internet Protocol that is designed to succeed Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4). IPv4 is the first publicly used Internet Protocol and has been in operation since 1981. IPv6 is an Internet Layer protocol for packet-switched internetworking and provides end-to-end datagram transmission across multiple IP networks. As a datagram service it does not guarantee reliability, a function provided at the Transport Layer. The main driving force for the redesign of Internet Protocol was the foreseeable IPv4 address exhaustion.
Topics to be discussed are:-
-IPv4 addressing and ROADS problem
-IPv6 as strategic technology
-NAT/PAT
-IPv6 protocols and addressing
-Address auto-configuration and route summarization
-Tunneling as IPv6 transition
-ICMPv6
-IPv6 challenges and activities at the IETF (ISOC) including MIPv6, 6LoWPANs, IPv6 Maintenance.
About the Speaker:
Ali Hammad Akbar obtained his bachelor’s degree with distinction in telecommunications from NUST, Pakistan in 1997. In 1998, He did his MS from UNSW Australia, which concluded with his research findings in DWDM systems in optical communication systems. While in Australia, he also worked as a consultant to Eztel Corporation. In 2004, he joined Ajou University for pursuing the PhD studies. He worked on the architectural issues of wireless sensor networks that define the role and mechanisms for addressing the constraints and challenges purported in these networks. After the completion of his PhD, he is currently working as an assistant professor at UET, Lahore. His topics of interest include wireless networks such as MANETs and sensor networks.
Cloud Computing (3:30pm to 5:30pm)
By Mr. Abdul Qadeer
Registration Fee: PKR 150/-
'Cloud Computing' (CC) is more of a buzz word than a technical term. But it has used so extensively in popular media that we feel stuck with it. In this presentation we will try to separate sales man's perspective of cloud computing from a technical person's perspective. We will discuss CC in a broader computer science perspective with little digressions here and there along the talk. In the second half, we will learn about Amazon's AWS which is based on so called CC. It should serve as a good case study for the audience. Following is a high level division of the discussion.
-Cloud computing (CC) - Busting the buzz word!
-Characteristics of CC
-Understanding by Example - Amazon Web Services
-MapReduce framework [Tentative]
