A Method for Automatic Synchronization of Cross-Language Dependent Code
Presenter: Reshmi George
Affiliation: IBM

Abstract:
In a cross language heterogeneous software development environment sections of code might be duplication in a different programming language, which would then be modified / updated further to address various business needs. The challenge arises when this code needs to be synchronized with each other when dependent code section changes occur. Here I propose a method to address above mentioned challenge .

Risk Identification and Verification for Mobile Application Access Using Biometrics
Presenter: Priyanka Jain
Affiliation: IBM

Abstract:
This idea utilizes all these features that are present in smart mobile devices (like unique id, location tracking) and generates a risk score based on those attributes. If the risk is high, it utilizes other features of these devices (like camera, MIC etc) to challenge the user while still keeping the whole process extremely simple and mostly hands-free. It achieves higher levels of security combined with greater usability as well.

Web Search Result Categorization Using Web Taxonomy
Presenter: Sumana Hariharan
Affiliation: Yahoo! Bangalore

Abstract:
Search engines are effective at generating long lists of search results. But the lack of overviews prevents searchers from effectively organizing and exploring their results. There are two categories of people using search -domain Specific searcher, knows to frame a query perfectly matching their requirements, exploratory searchers, have vague or limited information of their needs and these searchers lack detailed knowledge about the subject of their search click prediction. Ranking results given today are for user category. But the exploratory searchers spends lot of time achieving their needs.Categorizing the search results using meaningful and stable classifications helps the exploratory searchers.
