It gives me immense pleasure to greet you and convey my best wishes to all the distinguished fellows, members of the managing committee of the chapters, corporate members, members from academic institutes and young student members of CSI in the Golden Jubilee Year of CSI.
As 29th President of the premier professional society of India, it is my responsibility to follow the imprints of respected past presidents of CSI including Late Prof. Narasimhan, Maj. Gen. Balasubramaniam, Dr. F C Kohli, Prof. P V S Rao, Dr. H N Mahbala, Shri Hemant Sonawala, Brig. SVS Chowdhry, Dr.S Ramani and Prof. C R Muthukrishnan. It is a challenging task however I am confi dent that with the whole hearted support of my Executive Committee Colleagues, Chapter OBs and Member of CSI, I will be able to take CSI at a greater heights.
The new Executive Committee of CSI has taken charge from 1st April,2015, after the joint meeting of the Executive Committee at CSI HQ, Mumbai. The previous year was a year full of events including various International Conferences, 49th Annual National Convention, Regional and Divisional Conferences at various chapters, National Students Convention, Regional and State Students Conventions including Golden Jubilee Celebrations by chapters and Student Branches. These events are reported time regularly in CSI Commuincations and on CSI Website.
You will be happy to know that members of the Executive Committee (2015-16/17) are from various sectors like industry, banking & fi nance and academic, having long term association with CSI and rich experience in their fi elds. Their aspiration is to serve CSI and desire to take CSI to its highest level of pride.
There are 100,000 + members including student members in CSI. It is a major responsibility of Executive Committee of CSI, Managing Committee of Chapters and Student Branch Coordinators to serve them by conducting high level conferences, seminars and workshops. CSI has also to serve the society at large following the motto of CSI “Steering IT for Masses through Innovation”
CSI is also promoting research and innovations in fi eld of IT and allied fi elds, considering the fact that research and innovations plays signifi cant role in the development of the multi disciplinary approach leading towards overall development of the society and country at large. There are various schemes are available at CSI for promotion of research and innovations. I am sure interested members will take advantage of such schemes.
In one of the articles published in Times of India “Opening the Flood Gates “by Shri Ravi Shankar Prasasd, Hon’ble Union Minister of Communications and Information Technology, he is optimistic that Digital
India would deliver a real improvement in the quality of life of every citizen. This fl agship programme of Central Government has a potential to bridge the gap between the digital haves and have not’s, between the poor and the effl uent, rural and urban, literate and illiterate, employed and unemployed and between the empowered and the disempowered.
I fi rmly believe that CSI , being the oldest and largest society of IT professionals, scientists, leading academicians, researchers and students , can contribute much in the fl agship programme ‘Digital India’ of Government of India by various initiatives.
There are many challenges ahead for CSI. We need to strengthen CSI HQ and CSI Education Directorate. We are in process of enhancing our services to members and stakeholders with support of Offi ce Bearers and Executive Committee Members. You may send me your suggestions including your thoughts how you can contribute in the development of CSI.
With best wishes,

Dear Members
CSI Communications | April 2015 | 6 www.csi-india.org
EditorialProf. AK NayakChief Editor
Dear Fellow CSI Members,
For the last three decades, India is committed to the task
of promoting the spread of Information & Communication
Technology. The key role of ICT as an important element of
national development is also well recognized. The ICT system
needs to be infused with new vitality if it has to play a crucial &
benefi cial role in advancing the well being of all sections of our
society. The nation continues to be fi rm in supporting ICT in all
facets. It recognizes ICT’s central role in raising the quality of life
of the people of the country, particularly the vulnerable section of
society including rural masses and women community in creating
wealth for all, in making India globally competitive, in utilizing
natural resources in a sustainable manner, in protecting the
environment and ensuring the national security.
ICT has enabled citizen participation in governance through more
eff ective interaction between the government and the citizens
making a closer partnership between the two. But undoubtedly,
there is a massive digital divide in the country based on income,
education, residence and use of ICT which are correlated
with economies, political and cultural power. To overcome the
problem, the eff ective solutions should be found out for using ICT
for inclusive growth, promoting gender inclusivity and ensuring
balanced regional growth.
Now world is in the midst of a knowledge revolution, complemented
by opening up of entirely new vistas in communication
technologies and recent development in the fi eld of information
and communication technology (ICT). Since ICT is meant for
everyone and doesn’t discriminate between rural and urban, man
and woman, both can take the equal benefi ts off ered by it. It has
the potential to reach and empower women and encourage them
to participate in economic and social progress and help them make
informed decisions about issues that aff ect them. The government
has attempted to involve, encourage and empower the citizens
of the country in the decision making process to ensure their
participation at local and district levels of governance.
Digital India is an initiative of Government of India under the
leadership of our visionary Prime Minister for transforming India
into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy.
The objective of the project is to integrate the government
departments and the people of India by ensuring the government
services are made available to citizens electronically by reducing
paperwork with the plans to connect rural areas with high speed
internet networks. The three core components of this project that
are: digital infrastructure as a utility to every citizen, delivering
services digitally in governance & service on demand and digital
empowerment of citizens with digital literacy; deserve full support
from the people of the society at a large. The Govt. of India
organisation Bharat Broadband Network Limited which executes
the National Optical Fibre Network Project shall be the custodian
of digital India project and it has ordered United Telecoms Ltd. to
connect 250000 villages in the fi rst phase and it is expected to be
completed by 2017.
With the eff ective activation & inclusion of nine pillars of digital
India such as broadband highways for all, universal access to
phones, Public Internet Access Programme, e-Governance as
the tool for reforming government through technology, electronic
delivery of services, Information for all, electronic manufacturing,
Information Technology for Job creation and early harvest
Programmes like wi-fi - for all Universities, secured email within
government etc.; shall refl ect its impact by 2019 such as broad
band in 2.5 lakh Villages, universal phone connectivity, zero
Import of IT equipments by 2020, 4 lakhs public internet access
points and job creation (1.7 crore direct & 8.5 crores indirectly)
and projecting India as a leader in IT use in services like health,
education, banking, agriculture, water resources, etc.
In the light of the implementation of this noble project into action,
Computer Society of India brings out the April – 2015 issue of CSI
communication (The Knowledge Digest for IT Community) with
the theme “Digital India” which is very much relevant and timely
in the present context. This issue contains the various sections
like cover story, the technical trends, research front, Practitioner
Workbench and related articles etc. along with other regular
features like case studies, cross words, CSI reports and news from
divisions, chapters and student branches, calendar of events along
with the contact details of EXECOM and Nomination Committee
of 2015 –16/17. This issue also contains a special article on Dr. E.F.
Codd, the father of relational Data Model as a tribute to him on the
occasion of his 12th death anniversary on 18th April 2015.
This issue is coming with the new publication committee which
took over CSI communications from 1st April 2015 and it will be
the fi rst issue under the same committee. The new editorial team
is yet to be constituted. This process is under way to have a very
dynamic and vibrant editorial team for maintaining the technical
excellence in the contents of the magazine and to carry the same
to the scale of height. Within the short span of time, tremendous
eff orts has been put in compiling this issue to publish it timely. I
take this opportunity to give the credit of successfully bringing
out his issue to my newly constituted publication committee
particularly to Dr. Durgesh Kumar Mishra, the guest editor of
this issue who continuously with consultation and help of Prof.
M.N. Hoda brought the issue into the shape I am also thankful
to the secretary and executive secretary of CSI for the support
in providing the relevant information where ever it was required.
Finally I am thankful to the entire EXECOM of CSI and looking
forward to my fellow members for their continuous support and
guidance.
On behalf of the publication committee I wish to express my
sincere gratitude to all Authors who contributed signifi cantly for
enrichment of this issue. I hereby place on record my appreciation
to our panel of experts and referees who have supported in
reviewing the articles and other technical matters.
Finally we look forward to receive the feedback, contribution,
criticism, suggestions and reply from our esteemed members &
IntroductionThe “Digital India” initiative aims at
availing digitizing of various individual
projects of all central government
and ministries like education, health
services and other services, that can be
delivered to citizens using Information
and Communication Technology (ICT) by
joining all the areas of India including the
Gram Panchayats at high speed internet
through broadband connectivity, in order
to focus on the e-governance till 2019.
It can also be viewed as the next step of
already running National e-Governance
Plan. In this program government will
prefer to adopt Public Private Partnerships
(PPP) wherever feasible for execution of
this initiative.
For the smooth execution of this
program, government will enhance
National Informatics Centre which
is responsible to carry IT projects in
government departments. For faster
design, develop and implement various
e-Governance projects, in at least 10 key
ministries positions of Chief Information
Offi cers (CIO) will be created and
necessary senior positions within the
department will be created by Department
of Electronics and IT (DeitY) for managing
the initiative.
It is rightly said by the hon’ble Prime
Minister of India, Narendra Modi that
Information Technology plays important
role to make India a digital country, in
his words “India Today(IT) + Information
Technology(IT) = India Tomorrow(IT)”.
ComponentsKey components of Digital India are: Digital
Infrastructure as a Utility to Every Citizen,
Digital Governance & Services on Demand,
and Digital Empowerment of Citizens (By
various digital literacy programs).These
visions are supported by the nine pillars of
this program, shown in Fig.1:
Execution BodyThis initiative will be executed by the
DeitY, and is been implemented in phases
from the year 2014 till 2019. It would
also provide a “cradle to grave digital
identity” that is “unique, lifelong and
online”.[2] The draft of Internet of Things
(IoT) Policy of India should be read
along with Digital India initiative for the
better understanding.[3] The monitoring
committee is the highest level committee
of this initiative chaired by the hon’ble
Prime Minister. Other committees under
this monitoring committee are illustrated
in Fig.2:
Estimated Costs Overall Costs of Digital India initiative
is approx Rs. 1.13 lakh crore for ongoing
schemes as well as new schemes and
activities. To jointly explore opportunities
for collaboration on implementing this
ambitious initiative, India and the United
States have already agreed for the same.[4]
Programs InvolvedDigital India is in the progress mode
from the month of November 2014. It
will be analyzed by the Apex Committee;
media reports have already hinted
development of policies for Digital India
very soon. If correctly implemented,
Digital India initiative will soon change
the delivery way of public services in
India. The program will be executed in
order to provide digital literacy to rural
citizens, providing digital lockers and
various other services. Various programs
and/or services based on PPP of Digital
India program are:
• National Digital Literacy Mission (NDLM)
The key to Digital India program is Digital
Literacy. It ensures digital literacy to
disadvantaged community by “reaching
out the unreached”. The digital literacy
program is in progress through NDLM

Gujarat has been a frontline State in
the Country in the implementation of
eGovernance projects. The State has been a
leader in setting up core ICT infrastructure
like State Wide Area Network (SWAN),
State Data Centre (SDC) and eGRAM -
Common Service Centres (CSCs) as well
as in using advanced technologies like GIS
and mobility solutions, to provide smart
Governance to its citizens and businesses.
Nothing bears a more eloquent
testimony to this fact than the staggering
number of e-transactions (close to 125
crores) which have been registered on
e-Taal (e-Transactions Aggregation and
Analysis Layer) Portal, National e-Services
Dashboard (NeSD) since January 2013.
This accounts for over 26% of the total
transactions in the State Project Category.
The adoption of innovative, constructive and
result-oriented policies and the burgeoning
use of ICT as facilitator of Good Governance
have tremendously benefi tted the masses
resulting in signifi cant e-transactions as
recorded on e-Taal Portal.
Gujarat has successfully implemented
State-wide Public Services Programmes
such as SWAGAT, Public Distribution
System, Mutation linked with Registration,
ATVT (Apano Taluka Vibrant Taluka),
eNagar, eMamta, etc. On the one hand, this
has helped the Government to improve the
quality, effi ciency and transparency in the
delivery of services and on the other hand
facilitated the citizens to avail themselves
of the services in their own taluka or village.
State Wide Attention on Grievances
by Application of Technology (SWAGAT)
is a State-wide Online Grievance Redressal
Programme that off ers citizens an eff ective
platform to air their grievances related to
the functioning of the offi cial machinery
directly to Hon’ble Chief Minister through
online portal and video conference facility.
Presently, SWAGAT covers all Taluaks
and 60 million citizens of the State. Of the
applications received, nearly 93% have been
resolved since the implementation of this
initiative.
Under the Targeted Public Distribution
System, Gujarat has been able to link the
complete supply chain, that is, dispatch
of food grains from the godown to the
time until the citizen avails himself his
entitlement from the Fair Price Shop (FPS).
Here, the use of m-Governance has led
to the empowerment of the citizens who
are now kept updated from the time of
allocation of their monthly quotas to the
time when the FPS owners lift the foodgrains
from the godown.
Apno Taluko Vibrant Taluko (ATVT)
empowers all the Talukas in the State
to deliver services to citizens in a time-
bound manner eff ectively through the
ICT enablement of Taluka machinery.
ATVT has enabled the decentralization of
administration up to Taluka level and made
it more speedy, eff ective, transparent and
citizen-centric.
Internet has been a key to various
successful e-Governance initiatives which
have favourably impinged upon the lives of
each and every section of the society and
specially the marginalized. In Gujarat, we
have been able to bridge the urban-rural
digital divide through our 13,685 e-Gram
Centres where we have provided internet
through VSAT network which is used to
provide a basket of services to the rural
citizens near their door-steps in the far-fl ung
areas of the State. The facilities at the eGram
Centres are also being used for imparting
various skill development, educational and
training programmes for the empowerment
of the citizens.Satellite Communication (SATCOM)
is being used as a key tool to impart distant interactive educational and skill development training. Bhaskaracharya Institute of Space Applications and Geo-Informatics (BISAG) is the State-level Nodal Agency in Gujarat which implements the dissemination of educational and developmental programmes through satellite communication to lakhs of people through nearly 50,000 Direct-to-Home (DTH) sets spread over the entire State. BISAG is gradually augmenting its outreach with the operationalization of 16 additional channels.
In Gujarat, we have been using Geo-Informatics
based eGovernance to provide decision
support system to the sectoral stakeholders
through large-scale (village level) geo-
spatial databases and supporting analytical
tools. These comprehensive databases
are being used by the Government for
rational, quicker and more transparent
decision-making in an institutionalized
manner. Thus through Geo-Informatics-
based eGovernance, convergence of various
programmes is being achieved where time,
cost and eff orts are optimized.
Good Governance is the foundation of a
functional democracy and is largely realised
employing e-Governance. Rapid advances
in ICT have made e-Governance the most
potent tool for attaining the vision of Good
Governance. The Government of Gujarat has
been incessantly endeavouring to achieve
the Vision of “Maximum Governance,
Minimum Government” to the fullest
possible extent with the help of Information
and Communication Technology (ICT).
In order to, inter-alia contribute
towards the realization of the vision of
‘Digital India’ programme of Government of
India, the State Government had declared a
dedicated eGovernance Policy. The Policy is
aimed at broad-basing and institutionalizing
‘Digital Gujarat’ to provide transparent,
aff ordable and effi cient public services on
the principle of ‘Minimum Government,
Maximum Governance’.
Over the last decade or so, the State
Government has proactively formulated
and successfully implemented a number
of e-Governance Projects which have

IntroductionThe interfacing technologies have
motivated the behavior of people and
change their living style. Mobile is the
prompt entity for human life and the
applicant user can’t live without it[1].
The rapidly developing world of the
multi-touch and surface computing
has produced some new possibilities
in the interaction between user and
technology[2]. Some advance gestures
available in the market as stylus, gear
and eye sensors etc. has provided more
facilitated environment for interaction
with a system. In the current world time
is the most critical thing for human so
everyone wants to communicate with
system in the quickest manner without
incurring the valuable time. To manage
this few of the GUI, applications are
innovated by the researcher or industry
and has been launched them time to
time according to their versions. All
of them are targeted to facilitate the
simplest manner of interaction to the
technology in a shorter time period.
Through the discovery of the Elograph,
by Elographics, Inc, touch screen
technology entered the public eye in
1971 [3, 4].
From last two decades Interactive
surface and multi-touch are an established
area for HCI research. Surface interface
is the most valuable technology in the
era of smart phones. Surface interface
provides the natural way to interact with
the applications of smart phones. User
realizes the actual phenomenon during
the touch and tap method of accessing
smart phones. Several ways are produced
during this process to understand the
technological applications of surface
interface that changes the revolutions of
interaction.
Lilian Genaro Motti[5] has provided
the study report & comparative of
researcher to compute the experience
of diff erent age of people for diverse
technique uses indirect inputs i.e., touch
panel, mouse, keyboard and wireless pen.[5]
In previous days windowing
environment were focused to interact
a single user with the system, but the
current innovation facilitate multiple users
to interact with the smart phones i.e. multi
touch devices. As the science-oriented
producer 3M Touch Systems puts it, multi-
touch refers to a touch system’s capable
for concurrently detect and determinate a
minimum of 3+ touch points”[6].
Contextual Surface
Smart phones now come with additional
features conventionally related to PDAs
such as Internet access, video, and
multiple application programs, and PDAs
are beginning to incorporate telephony
functionality.
Within these markets diff erent software platforms are varying for market share, the most prominent being Microsoft CE, Palm OS and Symbian OS. The lack of a common platform poses difficulties to deliver large-scale solutions and has led researchers to call for more standardization[9].
Related Work A lot of studies report is investigated
for diff erent interaction techniques
& input devices using touch screen.
New technologies are developed to
improve & enhance the exchange of
information and communication to
everyone. Consequently, novel interaction
techniques have been created to enlarge
the possibilities for human computer
interaction via new user interfaces & input
techniques[9].

The Man who Invented the Relational Data Model – A Tribute to Dr. E.F. Codd
K V N Rajesh* and K V N Ramesh***Senior Assistant Professor, Department of Information Technology, Vignan’s Institute of Information Technology, Visakhapatnam
**Project Manager, Tech Mahindra, Visakhapatnam
Dr. E.F. Codd is a luminary who made great
contributions in the fi eld of computing and
database technologies. It is twelve years
that Dr. E.F. Codd died and forty fi ve years
that he proposed his relational data model,
but this brain child of his is all the more
relevant today too. People would probably
still be using systems based on Codd’s
relational model hundred years from now.
This article is written as a tribute to and in
remembrance of Dr. E.F. Codd whose twelfth
death anniversary falls on 18th April.
The contribution Of Dr. E.F. Codd
to the database fi eld is so profound that
the timeline of databases and digital
information storage can be easily divided
as Before and After Codd. His invention
of the relational model is one of the main
contributors to the information revolution
that we see now and can be easily
compared to that of the contribution of
steam engine to the Industrial Revolution.
Much of the structured data stored
now is in the form of tables with rows and
columns courtesy the relational model
invented by E.F.Codd. The size of just the
RDBMS products market is $30 billion as
in 2013. If we consider the other RDBMS
dependent services and technologies like
IT consulting and Data Warehousing, the
market size would be even more. This whole
industry owes its existence to the relational
data model invented by E.F.Codd.
It is not an exaggeration to say that
there are few people on this planet who
have not been touched by the invention
of E.F.Codd. Bank accounts, Hospital
management systems, fi nancial systems,
billing systems and many other forms of
information technology systems which
involve storage of data or usage of stored
data, rely mostly on the relational databases.
These in turn rely on the relational data
model invented by Dr. E.F.Codd.
Edgar Frank “Ted”.Codd (E.F.Codd)
was born on 23rd August 1923. He was
born in Isle of Portland. It is an island in
Dorset which is a county in the South West
England on the English Channel coast. His
father was a leather manufacturer. His
mother was a school teacher. He was the
youngest child among the seven siblings.
He had his school education in the Poole
Grammar school, Poole, England. He
initially went to Exeter College, University of
Oxford on a scholarship to study chemistry.
His education was interrupted when he
voluntarily joined in 1942 the Royal Air Force
Coastal command during the World War II.
He served as a pilot fl ying the Sunderalnds in
the squadrons which were hunting German
U-boats. After the war, he returned back to
complete his B.A and M.A in Mathematics
from University of Oxford during the period
1946-1948. He then emigrated to the
United States of America in 1948 at the
age of 25. He worked for a short period
as a salesman at the Macy’s department
stores. He then worked as a mathematics
lecturer in the University of Tennessee. In
1949, he joined the IBM. He worked on the
Selective Sequence Electronic Calculator
(SSEC) as a programming mathematician.
SSEC was an electromechanical computer
which was made of vacuum tubes and
electromechanical relays and was the
fi rst machine to combine electronic
computation with stored program. During
the period of Second Red Scare (1947 to
1957) popularly known as McCarthyism,
he left the USA in 1953 angered by Senator
Joseph McCarthy’s witch-hunt of people
who were believed to have communist
ties or sympathies. He went to Ottawa,
Canada and ran a computing center for
the Computing Devices of Canada Limited.
He returned back to the USA after the Red
Scare died down. He re-joined IBM where
he participated in development of several
important IBM products like IBM 701 (IBM’s
fi rst commercial computer) and IBM 7030
(IBM’s fi rst transistorized supercomputer).
IBM 7030 was the outcome of the Project
Stretch at the IBM campus at Poughkeepsie,
New York. As a part of the project Stretch,
E.F.Codd led the development of world’s
fi rst Multiprogramming system whose main
aim was to keep components of computer
systems in productive use most of the time.
This involved nonlocal concurrency which
provides for simultaneous execution of
instructions which may belong to entirely
separate and unrelated programs.
He then joined the University of
Michigan in Ann Arbor and did his M.Sc
and Ph.D in the department of Computer
and Communication Sciences on an IBM
scholarship. His doctoral thesis was on
the topic of cellular automata which were
originally conceived by Von Neumann
as ideal structures for modeling self-
reproducing “machines”. Von Neumann
approach consisted of cellular array using
29-states per cell and a 5-cell neighborhood.
As a part of his doctoral research, E.F.Codd
tried to reduce the complexity of the von
Neumann’s machine. He showed that it
was possible to make a self-reproducing
machine with eight states per cell and
rotation symmetry. Codd’s construction was
infl uenced by careful consideration of the
physiology of the nervous system in animals.
His Doctoral advisor was John Henry
Holland who was a professor of psychology
and professor of electrical and computer
science at the University of Michigan. In
1968, E.F.Codd reported this doctoral work in
a book titled “Cellular Automata” published
by Academic Press. His approach to cellular
automata continues to infl uence Artifi cial
Life research to this day.
His greatest and most famous
contribution was yet to come. He joined
back IBM in 1968 after completing his Ph.D.
While working at IBM Research Laboratory,
San Jose, California, he turned his attention
to the management of large commercial
databases. He introduced the relational
data model to the world in his classic paper
titled “A Relational Model of Data for Large
Shared Data Banks” which was published
in June, 1970 in the communications of the
ACM journal. The relational model consists
of building databases using tables consisting
of rows and columns. The main purpose of
the relational model was to protect the
database users from having to know how
the data is organized in the machine. Though
this way of organizing is so obvious now,
this was revolutionary idea at that time and
brought a great change in the way the data is
organized. A whole industry of RDBMS got
created as a result of this model of E.F.Codd.
E.F.Codd’s relational model is widely
recognized as one of the most important
technical innovations of the 20th century.
It is indeed a surprise that his relational
model did not initially fi nd good audience
and reception at IBM where he developed
Article

this model. This was due to the large and
powerful support for the traditional database
system at that time in IBM. Meanwhile,
other new Silicon Valley companies like
Relational Software, Inc. and Relational
Technology, Inc implemented Codd’s ideas
and released relational database products
ahead of IBM. Relational Software, Inc later
became the famous Oracle Corporation
and Relational Technology, Inc later
became the Ingres Corporation. Later, the
relational model caught the attention of
the IBM chairman Frank Cary in a meeting
of a high-level IBM technical committee.
Finally, in 1981, SQL/DS (Structured Query
Language/Data System) was released as
IBM’s fi rst commercial relational database
management system. Later in 1983, DB2 for
MVS was released.
With the success of the relational
model in the early 1980s, most the database
vendors of the time started repackaging
their existing database products with
a relational touch. Seeing his vision of
relational databases being diluted, Codd
came up with a set of thirteen rules to defi ne
what is required of a database management
system for it to be considered relational.
These are famously known as Codd’s 12
rules since they start numbering from
zero to twelve. He published these rules
in two articles titled “Is Your DBMS Really
Relational?” and “Does Your DBMS Run by
the Rules?” in Oct 14 and Oct 21 editions of
Computerworld, a popular weekly. These
rules written by Codd were to discourage
database products with relational interfaces
being branded and marketed as Relational
Database management systems.
In 1983, Codd suff ered a serious injury
from a fall. He resigned from IBM after
his recovery. In 1985, he cofounded and
established two lecturing and consulting
companies named “The Relational Institute”
and “The Codd and Date Consulting Group”
along with his longtime IBM collaborator
Chris Date and Sharon Weinberg. These
companies specialized in all aspects of
relational database management systems
and relational database design.
1n 1993, E.F.Codd coined the term
On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) in
a white paper titled “Providing OLAP to
user-analysts: An IT mandate” which he co-
authored with S.B.Codd and C.T.Salley. This
paper was commissioned by Arbor Software.
This paper included 12 rules for OLAP and
generated considerable controversy at that
time since it was vendor sponsored and the
rules had explicit reference to Essbase which
was a product of Arbor Software.
For extraordinary contributions
over his career, he received a number of
recognitions. The most important of it is
the 1981 ACM Turing Award presented
to him on 09 November 1981 by the
ACM president Peter Denning at the
ACM Annual Conference in Los Angeles,
California. He was selected for the Turing
Award by the ACM Award Committee
for his “fundamental and continuing
contributions to the theory and practice of
database management systems.
Other honors received by him are the
elected Fellow of the British Computer
Society, IBM Fellow, the elected ACM
Fellow, the elected member of national
academy of engineering and the elected
member of American Academy of Arts and
Sciences. He received the IEEE Computer
Society Pioneer Award in 1996 for the
invention of the fi rst abstract model for
database management. He also received
the fi rst annual achievement award from
international DB2 users group and annual
achievement award from DAMA in 2001.
On personal front, he was divorced
from his fi rst wife, Elizabeth in 1978.
He married his IBM colleague Sharon
Weinberg after 12 years of courtship.
He had a daughter Katherine and sons
Ronald, Frank and David.
E.F. Codd died at an age of 79 on 18
April 2003 at his home in Willliams Island,
Florida, due to heart failure.
Dr. E.F. Codd was a stalwart who
never tried to develop a personality cult
for himself. That should not stop the IT
community from further recognizing his
genius in manner befi tting his contributions.
Few people in the fi eld of computing and
information technology can match him
in the terms of the contributions made in
this fi eld. The IT community should come
forward to propose and celebrate his
Birthday as International Database Day.
SIGMOD which is a special interest group
on Management of data of Association for
Computing Machinery (ACM) had renamed
the “SIGMOD Innovations Award” in 2004
as the “SIGMOD Edgar F. Codd Innovations
Award” in honor of Dr. E.F. Codd. The stature
of this award may need to be increased or
another Annual prize called Codd Prize
needs to be created on the lines of Nobel
prize, Fields Medal and Turing Award to be
given to people who make lasting and major
contributions in the database fi eld.

Programming.Tips() »Orphan Process in Parent Child RelationshipA Process is program in execution. In UNIX Operating System,
starting from booting only process creation takes place.
At booting time, a special process called the "swapper" or
"scheduler" is created. The scheduler in turn creates three
child processes: 1) Process Dispatcher (init process) 2)
vhand 3) bdflush with Process ID 1, 2, 3 respectively. fork is a
system call which creates a child process. So we have parent
child relationship in UNIX. Parent and Child Processes can be
identified by their process id. getpid system call gives process
id of currently running process. getppid gives parent process
id of currently running process. What happens when parent
process terminates before child process? Such processes are
printf("Child process executes (before sleep)...\n");
printf("Child pid(value rerurned by fork) = %d\n", pid);
printf("Child's Process ID = %d\n", getpid());
printf("Child's Parent Process ID = %d\n", getppid());
sleep (20);
printf("Child process executes (after sleep)...\n");
printf("Child's Process ID = %d\n", getpid());
printf("Child's Parent Process ID = %d (init)\n", getppid());
printf("Child process terminates...\n\n");
}
else
{
printf("Parent process executes...\n");
printf("Parent pid(value returned by fork) = %d\n",pid);
printf("Parent's Process ID = %d\n", getpid());
printf("Parent's Parent Process ID = %d\n", getppid());
printf("Parent process terminates... \n\n");
}
return 0;
}
In the above program using fork system call child process has been
created. If fork is unable to create child process then it returns
'-1'. Here we have assumed that child process executes fi rst. The
output of the program is shown below.
Output:Before executing fork (creating child process)...Child process executes (before sleep)...Child pid(value rerurned by fork) = 0Child's Process ID = 7828Child's Parent Process ID = 7827Parent process executes...Parent pid(value returned by fork) = 7828Parent's Process ID = 7827Parent's Parent Process ID = 2420Parent process terminates...Child process executes (after sleep)...Child's Process ID = 7828Child's Parent Process ID = 1(init)Child process terminates...
Orphan Process is a process whose parent has terminated but its
own execution is still remaining. In this case, Child Process will
be adopted by the process dispatcher (init) itself so new parent
process id will be 1...

New Paradigms - How to Make an Enterprise’s Intellectual Property Sustainable Most large organisations today have a formal program to manage their intellectual property (hereafter referred to as IP). However, there are possible key challenges that an organisation may face to ensure that an enterprise’s IP is indeed sustainable for the long term and yields signifi cant returns in terms of growing valuation and subsequent monetisation through direct or indirect licensing. Interlinking a well-managed, strategically-designed and optimally-aggregated IP portfolio to customer-centric off erings, products or solutions is important to ensure reduced IP and business risk, increased valuation and monetisation of IP, business assets and sustainable IP-backed business.
A strong IP portfolio may comprise defi ned patent clusters, aggregated on the basis of domain or technology, such that it ultimately benefi ts the enterprise’s business and enables it to have a leading competitive edge in the marketplace. TCS has come up with an innovative, robust and sustainable IP portfolio management system, model and processs for an enterprise to achieve this. These help to ensure sustainable linkages between the IP portfolio of an enterprise and the market focus or business off erings as shown in Fig 1.
It follows a bottom-up approach and includes sustainability at the following three levels:
IP sustainability module to handle sustainability at the atomic (patent) level and enable mapping of the IP to an off ering in the Sustainable Enterprise Off ering (SEO) module.
Landscape Analytics module confi gured to create well-defi ned IP landscapes at the next level.
Portfolio Optimization module to create an overall optimised enterprise IP portfolio at the highest level.
It can be expected that an individual patent is sustainable based on its novelty and inventive step. As more and more patents are added to a portfolio, they also need to be assessed as contributing to the sustainability of the portfolio to which they are being added. This is done by applying a set of parameters to determine strength, spread, duplicity (if any) and diff erence of the new patent’s claims when compared to the enterprise’s existing patents and the key player’s patents, both individually aggregated in a time sequential manner. It is to be noted here that strength of a portfolio denotes how a new patent’s claims help to create new or incremental protection for the portfolio and the spread of a portfolio denotes the widening of the same, thus creating a stretch in the technology landscape.
The IP sustainability module applies advanced patent claim analytics (as shown in Fig. 2) to the above assessment in an innovative way to generate a comparative matrix (vis-a-vis an enterprise’s patents), a competitive matrix and a topology matrix (vis-a-vis key player’s patents) and a diff erence matrix dataset (to determine the competitive advantage of the new IP), in line with a Collaborative Invention Mining (CIM) matrix structure to deliver against the stated objective. This is made possible by using a combination of a patents repository, a CIM dictionary, a claims parsing algorithm library, a claims parsing pattern library, a claims parsing ranking algorithm library and an evolutionary genetic algorithm-based technique to generate a digital IP genome for each patent being added to a portfolio. Diff erent components of this system and process work together to carry out eff ective computation of the digitised elements of the new IP to conclude on its maturisation and eff ective contribution to a sustainable portfolio. To ensure that the changing or evolving data set is taken into consideration
at all times (both of the enterprise IP as well as key player’s IP), additional techniques related to ‘automation in discovery’ are applied.
At the next level, the Landscape Analytics module may generate patent maps (indicating growth and synergy), active key player-based maps and other trends, by applying advanced patent analytics and a set of stratifi cation rules to generate new intermediate data structures or data patterns. This can be done on the basis of strength and spread of comparison and competitive matrices, by clubbing information from individual subject areas based on synergy factors - International Patent Classifi cation (IPC) /Cooperative Patent Classifi cation (CPC), related or similar keywords, citation maps and so on) and resulting in an intermediate structure (landscape).
At a more advanced level, the Portfolio Optimization module will help to create an overall optimised enterprise IP portfolio – one that maximises value and minimises risk by applying the Identify-Analyse-Position methodology. This involves taking in the input data set such as patent clusters with their associated matrices, associated valuation for the resultant claim set, patent maps and so on, and then using a set of optimisation parameters – synergy, growth, strategic alignment, valuation, and gain and risk parameters for further computation and results.

CSI Report
CSI Communications | April 2015 | 28 www.csi-india.org
India has more than 6,50,000 villages, in which more than half of its population live in rural areas and off -the-map villages. Most of them are remote and too isolated from the mainstream to get benefi tted from the country’s impressive economic progress. Though, the country is moving forward on the world map and considered as the world’s second fastest-growing mobile market, but it is lagging behind when it comes to internet connectivity, in the rural areas of the country. Connecting the community and its members to the world, through the Internet and other digital technologies, is becoming increasingly essential for the overall development and social progress, in recent years. Under the present circumstances, social inclusion and technology led inclusive growth will only help us to realize the vision; India 2020. The ambitious Digital India drive undertaken by the Government of India is an important step in that direction. However, the citizens, in the length and breadth of the country, are not digitally empowered enough to participate in it and derive the maximum benefi ts out of such a great initiative. Just developing digital infrastructure and bringing governance and services on demand in digital mode will not be suffi cient unless the citizens are also digitally empowered. For this, capacity building initiatives, to create digitally / IT ready citizens, particularly for the downtrodden sections of the society, need to be undertaken very seriously. Digital Literacy and IT related people awareness programmes, in a mission driven manner, in the length and breadth of the country, particularly for the unreached and downtrodden sections of the society, including house wives, should be conducted in a big way, not only to digitally empower them but also to connect them with the mainstream and empower them to participate in the process of making the Digital India, a reality.
Digital Literacy Programme is a dynamic and integrated platform of digital literacy awareness, education and citizens’ empowerment that will help rural communities to take lead in the global digital economy and help them in maintaining the competitiveness and also shape a technologically empowered society enabling them to derive the maximum benefi ts from government schemes and services.
The motto of CSI, which is the oldest and largest body of IT professionals in the country, is IT for Masses, which aims to digitally empower the citizens of the country. In order to realize this motto, variety of the programmes and initiatives are undertaken, from time to time, by diff erent Divisions, Chapters, Students’
Branches, etc. which are the arms of the society. In this sequel, Division – I has collaborated with the CSI Students’ Branch of Bharati Vidyapeeth’s Institute of Computer Applications and Management (BVICAM), New Delhi to conduct Digital Literacy Programmes for the people from rural areas of Delhi and adjoining states. Around 40 such programmes have already been successfully conducted by BVICAM, New Delhi, since last 10 years and trained over 2400 citizens, free of cost. The programmes were technically supervised by CSI and fi nancially sponsored and
conducted by BVICAM, New Delhi. The duration of such programmes ranges from 01 day to 02 weeks, covering concepts like Computer and ICT Fundamentals, MS-Offi ce, Internet, Search Engines, Uses of Internet for Exploring the Information or Services on the Internet, etc. Now, Division – I plans to repeat the success stories of
Delhi and conduct the similar programmes in diff erent parts of the country.
Division – IV has collaborated with the CSI Students’ Branch of Sri Aurobindo Institute of Technology (SAIT) jointly with Microsoft Innovation Center, Indore, and is actively engaged in conducting such Digital Litracy programme with the support of Microsoft for providing on line and off line Course material and certifi cation program. As a part of this, Over 5000 people have already been trained by Division – IV in diff erent rural areas of the Madhya Pradesh, Rajastan and Andhra Pradesh.
