Information Security Simulation Human Computer Interface …Building Cool Machines!!! So What is Computing…..

• Using computer to complete a given goal-oriented task. • Computing includes designing and building hardware and software systems for a wide range of purposes; – processing structuring and managing various kinds of information; – doing scientific studies using computers; – making computer systems behave intelligently; – creating and using and entertainment media; – finding and gathering information relevant to any particular purpose, and so on. Historical Background • In early days, ‘’ was used as a common term for computing.

• Before 1990’s, computing was limited to three disciplines – 1. Computer Science (CS), 2. Computer Engineering (CE), and 3. Information Systems (ISs).

• The software crisis from 1965 to 1985 forced academic community to a degree which deals with the application of systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approaches to the development, operation, and maintenance of software. As a result (SE) discipline was included in computing family

• By the end of 1990s, once again the academia realized that the existing computing degree programs were not producing graduates who had the right mix of knowledge and skills to meet organizational challenges . Consequently, (IT) as a new discipline was included in the computing family . New Horizons

• Computational Lens: Computation as a kind of lens through which to view the world • Ternary Computing: Computing with base 3 • e-Sciences: Managing massive experimental and collaborating via the Internet, • Cloud Computing, Quantum Computing, Optical Computing, Biological Computing • Integration of computing in other disciplines like “Computational –x” and “x- ” x- Informatics Disciplines

Parameters of Threshold Standards • Knowledge: Theoretical learning of concepts and principles regarding a particular subject(s). • Skills: Capability of using learnt knowledge and applying it according to the context. • Expertise: Level of proficiency and innovative ways of applying the learnt knowledge. (Competitive edge) • Dispositions: Habits of or tendencies to respond to certain situations in certain ways. • Values: Moral, ethical and professional practices Important Characteristics • Being an innovator in thought and action • Thinking like an entrepreneur with a global mindset • Communicating in writing in all mediums and forms with varying groups of people and a wide range of purposes • Communicating via speaking in all the mediums available to us today: telephones, Skype, conferencing systems, and even in face-to-face meetings or conferences or hallway conversations • Finding the right Web 2.0 tools to enable or improve Parameters of Threshold Standards

Important Characteristics • Working cooperatively and collaboratively across distances in ways that benefit all • Maintaining a reflective and integrative approach to new trends, new ideas, and new opportunities from anywhere in the world • Being able to research quickly and find what is useful within minutes, not hours or days. • Knowing enough about many disciplines so you can settle on search terms to find the rights kinds of knowledge for your purpose
