IBM Research – India
As the world becomes instrumented, interconnected, and intelligent, research is becoming
more collaborative, interdisciplinary and global. The world has changed significantly in the
last few years; today it is not only smaller and flatter, but also smarter. We, therefore, need a
new level of collaboration and openness to understand the biggest and most complex
challenges and explore new frontiers in technology and business.
Towards this direction, IBM Research – India, one of IBM’s nine global labs, is organizing its
annual IBM Collaborative Academia Research Exchange (I-CARE) workshop on October 22,
2010, in Bangalore. Following the success of I-CARE 2009 in Delhi, this year’s event in
Bangalore will provide an outstanding opportunity to the academic community, especially
students, to learn about various industry issues, innovative solutions, and new research
directions. The topics of the workshop include:
Track –I
Services: Service science, management and Engineering
Track–II Information Management and Analytics: Database systems, data
mining, machine learning, text analytics, translation
Track –III Software Engineering and Programming Languages
Track –IV Distributed, High-Performance, Network & Cyber-physical Systems
We especially encourage submissions in application areas such as mobile-enabled solutions to
emerging market problems, social-network analysis, smart grids, smart traffic, and cloud-
based services. Besides posters and demos, there will be a few invited sessions by eminent
personalities from both academia and industry.
Poster and Demo Submissions
Faculty members, researchers, students (graduate and undergraduate) from technical,
management and design streams are encouraged to submit their abstracts (limited to two pages
for each abstract), with details of the poster or demo – title, author name, author title
(Faculty/PhD/MTech/BTech./MBA) – to Raj K Sharma at rajks@in.ibm.com latest by

subject of the mail for poster submissions or if a demo include “I-CARE 2010 Demo Title” in
the demo submission. The program committee will select the best poster and best demo and
announce it during the workshop.
• For each selected poster or demo, a partial travel stipend (Rs 3000/-) will be provided
to out-station students (i.e., other than Bangalore) to help defray workshop attendance
costs (travel, lodging etc).
