Tagging Indian wildlife

As reported by Slashdot, OCEARCH tags the world's most dangerous sharks with four different tracking devices and then offers all the data to the public. This project  has really taken off, garnering hundreds of thousands of users.

We believe we can do a similar project to protect Indian wild animals such as tigers and elephants given the poaching crisis here. That at least will bring public attention to an important ecological issue.

If there is such a genuine project, DataGlen would be happy to serve as the data repository for FREE.

Organizing ACM e-energy 2015

ACM e-energy 2015 (http://conferences.sigcomm.org/eenergy/2015/) aims to be the premier venue for researchers working in the broad areas of computing and communication for smart energy systems, and in energy-efficient computing and communication systems. 

Three of the founders were members of the organizing committee - Tanuja was one of the three co-chairs of the Distributed Energy Networks Workshop, Sunil was the one of the two web co-chair and Deva was one of the three General Co-Chairs of the conference. 

The conference was attended by ~100 delegates hailing from 16 countries in 5 continents. The papers were of highest quality since the papers were selected by rigorous review and shepherding processes. We were also lucky to get several eminent scientists/technologists to delivery invited addresses. 

Overall the conference was enjoyable and informative.
