I would definitely want to hear Glenn Youngkin speak, specifically explaining his rationale for signing into law a bill that gutted education benefits for the families of fallen first responders, and the families of fallen and severely disabled veterans. #saveVMSDEP

Shubham is too modest; he did not say that the acceptance rate at USENIX ATC this year was < 16%, and that this is only the third paper accepted at ATC from Indian academia in a decade. A preliminary version of this work had also received the best paper award at LastMiLeS Workshop held with COMSNETS 2022. It was Shubham's determination that allowed us to keep targeting (and improving) this work at top-tier places, even after being rejected earlier. Huge kudos to the other undergraduate students Aryan and Anjali who kept contributing even after their internship/credit requirements were completed, and Sohum and Purbasha for successfully re-implementing and evaluating the comparison points thoroughly. The work itself deals with lightweight techniques of filtering content on cheap traffic cameras, which have relatively low compute power. Although recent works in this area have increasingly moved towards using machine learning techniques for such filtering, we show that the information present in the compressed domain is sufficient to perform such lightweight filtering. Shubham was able to actually deploy it on a road for around an hour with due permission, and show that it works well in actual deployment.

Port digitalization is a “must” which has to be taken into consideation and implemented through digital maturity path based on industry 4.0 standard, not only in oprrational level but also adminstration level. “Port Single Window” which has been enforced by FAL convention amendment since January 1, 2024, is just a small part of port digitalisation, therefore, a lot of things yet must be done.
