IBA Sukkur organises International Conference on Computing and Mathematical Sciences

The Sukkur Institution of Business Administration organised first ‘International Conference on Computing and Mathematical Sciences (ICCMS 2017)’ to provide a forum and interdisciplinary platform for researchers, scientists, practitioners, academicians and students to present and discuss their contributions to the recent technological advances, innovations and experiences in the area of computing and mathematical sciences.

According to a press release issued on Saturday, the theme of the ICCMS is ‘invent, innovate, and integrate for socioeconomic development’.

Specifically, the conference focuses on all areas of Software Engineering, Computer Communication and Networks, Social Networking and Data Sciences, Ubiquitous Computing, Soft Computing, Applied Mathematical Analysis, Mathematical Finance, Algebra, Geometry, Statistics and Stochastic Processes.

The conference emphasises on the innovations, inventions and integration to improve the quality of different stakeholders of society through the usage of computational technologies for socioeconomic development.

The researchers from numerous countries, including USA, UK, Italy, Korea, Malaysia, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and Pakistan, submitted 143 papers covering various domains of computing and mathematics.

A total of 66 papers are accepted for presentation and publication in conference proceedings after a comprehensive review process under the supervision of renowned international and national experts.

On this occasion, Sukkur IBA Dean and Director Professor Nisar Ahmed Siddique said, “We are keen to learn new developments and innovation in the field of computer sciences and mathematics renowned speakers.”  

The key note speaker, Professor M-Tahar Kechadi University College Dublin Belfield, Dublin, talked on Privacy-Aware Data Analysis in Healthcare Data Records.

“Turning this massive amount of data into knowledge that can be used to identify needs, predict and prevent critical patients’ conditions, and help practitioners to make rapid and accurate decisions is not only a desire but is of urgent and crucial necessity.”  

Another speaker, Dr A M Siddiqui from the Pennsylvania State University, talked on designs to introduce the topic of modelling of fluid flow in the human body from the hydrodynamics point of view. He mainly focused on the peristaltic motion and the fluid flow in the human kidney. Professor Dr Zubair A Shaikh, president of the Muhammad Ali Jinnah University Karachi Chapter, in his talk mapped the recent computing trends with some of the greatest humanitarian and social challenges. “Some solutions and future directions for emerging researchers to work on problems of big social magnitude shall be presented,” he said.

Another noted speaker, Professor Dr Mohamed Ridza Wahiddin from the International Islamic University Malaysia, talked on “Harnessing the vacuum for quantum computing.”

He said these were responsible for many interesting effects in quantum optics where light and matter were both treated as quantum objects such as spontaneous emissions which in turn triggered lasers.
