CLOUD AND MOBILITY FOR INDIAN MASSES
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
It gives me an immense pleasure to speak with you through this
message. BOS.CON-12 (“Bosco Cennects” 2012) is an intra-collegiate
IT Fest conducted in every year to have conglomerates of young IT
professionals to sit and discuss and exhibit their talents among others
and gain knowledge and experience. The theme of BOS.CON for this
year is “Cloud and Mobility for Indian Masses” rightly fit in this
current situation making the young minds to be aware of need of
addressing various issues in the rural areas which considers as 75%
Mr Julias Ceasor A.
masses of India. This theme calls everybody think on possibilities to
provide constructive IT services to the rural part of India and its development.
In this connect, I welcome you all to take part and request you to bridge the digital divide. I
take this opportunity to thank all the Salesians in Don Bosco Centre, Yelagiri Hills for their
adequate support and encouragement in conducting BOS.CON 2012. I thank all teaching and
non-teaching staff for their wonderful support towards this IT Fest. And also thank and
appreciate office bearers of Students@ITA, and all committee members for their planning
and execution of this mega event.
Finally I pray and wish all of you that the BOS.CON 2012 to be a great event and very
successful one.
Wish you all the best.

BOS.CON 2012
Fr. Francis Guezou SDB
FOUNDER-DIRECTOR
OF DON BOSCO CENTRE, YELAGIRI HILLS
Fr. Francis Guezou - a French Salesian missionary came to India
in 1952 and was ordained a priest in 1953 at Tirupattur, Tamil
Nadu as soon as his ordination was over Fr. Guezou wanted to do
mission work among the poor. So he arrived at primitive Yellagiri
Hills and pioneered the Christian presence on the hills in the year
1962. From then onwards he has been on the cause of promoting
education of the poor tribal and rural youth at different places of
the South India. In particular, he has been the founder and
strengthened the Christian and Salesian educational presence at
Yelagiri Hills. Thanks to his marvelous work, BICS InfoTech was
started in 1998 with BIIT and BOSCO ITS as its education and
technology units with the help of his friends.
Though he left us on January 29, 2009 for his eternal reward, still
his spirit is dynamic and drives the entire campus. Every visitor
to Don Bosco Centre experiences a familiar family spirit, which
makes the young, free and natural; this is a heritage that Fr.
Guezou still passes on - a person of great gift that God has given
us. As a Gardener in the vineyard of the divine master, Fr. Guezou
ploughed hard, planted and watered by the kindness of many
selfless friends in France and India and he knows that only God
gives the growth. Yelagiri changed him and will change the
destiny of the people who will dwell here; because God’s work is
at hand here. It’s a God’s mountain of grace.
Fr. Francis Guezou, SDB
(1924 - 2009)

Rector’s Message
Dear Staffs and Students of BIIT,
It gives me immense joy to know that BIIT is back with

yet another BOSCON, the Annul Inter-Collegiate IT Fest,
with the theme ‘Cloud and Mobility for the Indian masses’.
It is a fact that everyone is moving towards cloud-based
soft wares as they are more accessible to all and faster to
reach the masses. We are also aware of the unbelievable
revolution caused by the mobile phones in the lives of
people. Mobile phones are symbols of freedom, movement,
speed, efficiency, planning and success. Fr Stanislaus Swamikannu sdb
In this context, I would like to present the following text
that I read from a recent article written by Bill Clinton, the former President of the United
States, in the TIME magazine: “Our world is more interdependent than ever. Borders have
become more like nets than wall, and while this means that wealth, ideas, information and
talent can move freely around the globe, so can the negative forces shaping our shared
fates.” (TIME, October 1 2012).
The above lines are very significant for the topic chosen. We can ask the following
pertinent and relevant question: ‘Cloud (accessibility, speed, etc.) and mobility (freedom,
movement, efficiency, etc.) for the Indian masses’ is for what? Are we going to make the
Indian masses share their wealth, ideas, information and talent freely and make them in turn
good human beings or are we going to share the negative forces that can destabilize the life
and future of our nation. If we are honest with ourselves, both are possible.
My message to the organizers is to challenge them to find ways and means of reducing
the sharing of negative forces that disrupt integral human growth and to enhance the sharing
of positive forces that would contribute to a meaningful human growth.
I wish the organizers all the best and God’s choicest blessings as they venture into such
an appropriate theme for their study and reflection.
With prayerful wishes,

Fr. Stanislaus Swamikannu SDB

BOS.CON 2012
Confessor’s Message
Dear BIIT Students,
I am glad to know that you are bringing out a souvenir on

Information Technology on the occasion of BOS.CON 2012. I
wish you every success in this endeavor.IT is one of the
spheres fast developing in the modern world. Technology is
fast changing and the students need to cope up with it. The
technologies I never heard about when I was young are at
your door steps to explore and learn.
Three things once gone, never come back: Time, Words and Fr Augustin K.
Opportunity. Remember this is a great opportunity given to you, do not let it pass by un-
noticed.
Opportunity: “Knock, Knock.”

Student: ”Who’s there"
Opportunity: “Opportunity!”
Student: “Can’t be.”
Opportunity: ”Why?"
Student: “Because opportunity knocks only once.”
So my dear students , a one-time and a great opportunity is given to you, To study, To

practice and to improve in information technology. It is a once in a life time chance to you In
this institution. Let it not pass by without grasping it. Make the best use of it.
All the best. God bless you.

PDH & GI Warden’s Message
Dear Members of the Faculty and the Students,
It is with immense joy I send this message to BOSCON 2012!

We are living in an age that is interconnected! Connectedness
has become the daily reality! As children of an age where there
are only net-like borders, you have rightly chosen a theme, i.e.
Cloud and Mobility for the Indian Masses that addresses this
issue. Speed and accessibility are the watch words of today’s
technological world. Both these aspects are beautifully covered
by the theme. My heartfelt appreciation for you!
While connectedness is the reality and BOSCON 2012 has Fr Vincent Kabilai
addresses it in a fitting manner, the challenges that the fast
moving world are equally true and enormous. Any development in the field of information
technology is worth its name if it promotes the overall human growth and happiness. On the
contrary, if in the name of speed and accessibility, the information age accepts an ethics of
‘anything is OK as long as there is speed and accessibility’, then we cut the trunk of the
tree on which we are sitting. We are making this interconnected world not a safe place for
our future generation.
I wish the organizers all the best and all success!
Yours Truly,
Fr. Vincent Kabilai SDB

Administrator’s Message
Dear Friends,
I just wanted to let you know—the things you do today do

not go unnoticed. You’re a necessary piece to this puzzle. I
appreciate your dedication and service, and I know others
do too. Frederick Koenig once mentioned that happiness
comes not from getting something we lack, but from the
recognition and appreciation of what we do have. My
sincere appreciation and wishes for all those who are part
of this BOS.CON – 12.
We live in an age of technology. We cannot remain

Fr Desam Chinna SDB
complacent and attempt to spend our lives with the glory of
the past. In order to enhance performance we have to create an environment that enables
everyone to face the challenges courageously and successfully. Nothing in this world can be
achieved without hard work. Success does not come at once. You have to work hard steadily
for a long time to achieve success. The door of success does not open at the very first knock.
But, if you try again and again you will certainly succeed. Responsibility means a duty to
complete a task given by someone and to complete it well. You are expected to bring your
best; face the challenges with courage. I wish you all the best for your annual IT Fest.
The highest reward that God gives us for good work is the ability to do better. I hope this IT
Fest will give you a rich and positive experience. Experience is a hard teacher because she
gives the test first, the lesson afterwards. I would like to conclude with the words of our
former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, “My grandfather once told me that there were two
kinds of people: those who do the work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be
in the first group; there was much less competition. ” ALL THE BEST.
With best wishes and prayers,
Fr. Desam Chinna SDB

AAH Warden’s Message
Attitude Matters
The longer I live the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.
Attitude to me is more important than facts. It is more important
than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than
failure, than success than what other people think or say or do. It is
more important than the appearance, giftedness or skill.
The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the

attitude we will embrace for that day. We can’t change our past. We Sr Roseline, SMA
can’t change the fact that the people will act in certain way. We
can’t change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have and
that is our own attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how
I react to it. And so it is with you. We are in-charge of our attitude.
Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.

Message from St Charles
Indeed I regard it as a proud privilege to give this message on the occasion of your
celebration of your BOS.CON IT Fest.
In today’s complex world you are all engaged in molding the future generation that
would guide the destiny of this beautiful country of ours.
Five years ago, there was no Facebook. Yet, today, Facebook membership is only
exceeded by the population of China and India.
In many developed countries the mobile phone handset is used only 30% of the time for
making verbal communication.
There are more than 10,000 other application available in the mobile handset, making all
personal transaction including financial transaction, surfing the net, keeping appointment,
accessing the media and what not.
Let these innovation help our nation to wipe its fiscal deficit and reduce the scourge of
corruption almost to extinction.
I sincerely hope all your passed-out students will be professionally efficient and
personally convinced who will enlighten and empower the poor and marginalized of the
society to build a secular nation.
I appreciate and congratulate the organizer of BOS.CON 2012. “God’s giving deserves our
thanksgiving”.
I thank God fervently for this manifold blessings showered on you.
May your efforts grow and spread its wings far and wide embracing the largest section
of society as mustard seed of the Gospel parable.
With every good wish.

BOS.CON 2012
Message from HoD (English)
From the desk of the HOD – English:
I take immense pleasure in congratulating both the organizers and

participants of BOSCON 2012 – a convergence of young talent in
Information Technology.
We are well aware that rural India faces a severe technology

deficit. There are of course, many other serious shortages such as
power, water, health facilities, roads, etc. When no one can deny
the crucial role of technology in solving these problems, the actual
Mr. Leo Maria Francis
availability of technology in rural areas is marginal. Both, the
digital divide and the technology divide need to be narrowed in at the earliest as they are of
utmost importance and have far greater impact on the all around development of India.
Today, we need an enormous effort to devise user-friendly technology solutions for the
problems of rural India.
May event such as BOSCON 2012 help young and innovative minds to understand the true
needs of rural India and bridge the gap between villagers and technologists. This will link the
booming, bits-and-bytes India with the suffering, stagnating India. Let the knowledge-driven
sector serve as an engine of growth that pulls along both the rural and the urban India
towards equal development and prosperity.
Wishing BSCON 2012 a great success,

Leo Maria Francis M L.

Students@ITA Message
I am extremely happy
about the Mega extravaganza of BIIT that is BOS.CON. It helps
our students to organize such program and enrich their
versatile learning. Every year it concentrates the very latest and
advanced application of IT as theme, thus it helps the
participants to exhibit their talents.
This highly determined platform, allows them to think out of the

boxes. Through BOS.CON students can share their ideas with Rose Gandhi M.
others. I would say this is the best way of creating more ideas. So let us share and discuss our
ideas. “An idea can change our life but the ideas of the technocrats can change the course of
the world”. I thank our Management, Faculties and Non Teaching staff for their well focused
cooperation towards this program. I wish all the best to various committees involved

BOS.CON 2012 KEYNOTE ADDRESS
Cloud Computing in Mobile Applications

For Indian Masses
India is leading in Inventions and Tamil civilization existed more

than 4000 years ago, but unfortunately the scripts are not
published in reputed American Journals. To begin with a old Tamil
proverb, yaanai varum pinne mani osai varum munne. For us, it may
be simple words, but Doppler proposed a theory, which exactly
matches with the proverb called ‘Doppler Effect’. The 1848 theory
states thus: "for sound waves, the sound's pitch is higher than the
Pf. Ra. K. Saravanaguru emitted frequency when the sound source approaching". The
Doppler Effect is actually used in huge applications like sirens on a
passing emergency vehicle, astronomy, radar, medical imaging, satellite communication,
underwater acoustics, blood flow measurement, etc.
Cloud Computing is a typical service sharing model through Internet. The concept is actually
borrowed from B2B (Business to Business) environment, which has implemented through
IBM Mainframes in 1960's. To provide some computation as a service, it is essential to
understand Service-oriented Architecture where Service Publishing, Service Finding and
Service Binding are realized using API's. (Application Programmable Interface).
The SMB/SME (Small and Mid-range Business/ Small and Mid-range Enterprise) get at most
benefits by providing their business in cloud environment. For Example, Cloudonomics
states two terms, Capitational Expenses and Operational Expenses (CAPEX and OPEX). The
scenario today, to start a new business online, the initial cost is 'zero' and to maintain the
business at affordable cost, like 'PAY PER USE' scheme. So, the resources, applications and
software can be availed as services, and becomes easy for users like utility access
(Telephone, Electricity, Water, etc).
In cloud computing, three major deployment models exists; namely, Private Cloud, Public
Cloud and Community Cloud and services categorized as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS),
Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS). The Middleware is the
backbone to provide some 'X' as Service in the Internet. From the evolution of Middleware
Technologies, it seems that cloud is a rebirth of Mainframe systems. Because, in mainframe
architecture, the client systems are treated as dumb terminals and all the necessary
functionalities are stored in a Single Server. In the similar way, WEB 3.0 evolves to maintain
Internet as a Platform and the client systems that are trying to access the services as dumb
terminals.
For Indian Masses starting new businesses online, the cloud environment is the fantastic
opportunity to begin with; for example, maintaining a CRM (Customer Relationship
Management) online through cloud. That is, if you want to purchase a new product there are
lot of websites available today like ebay, Flipkart and Amazon as the top most websites in
Indian market with the target Rs. 500 Crore per year. This is because of increasing the rate of
Internet users every year in India. To keep this in mind, the students can just turn up to

develop the cloud-based projects and make them available online as services instead of
repeating the same old database projects and demonstrating within PC's or laptops.
Android is the open access platform for Mobile Application development in which lot of
services can be developed and deployed in the market. Once you start a new Java/PHP/.Net
based project and make it available as .apk, thereby any mobile Internet user can download
your app as a ready to use application. Suppose a new visitor comes to your place, say
Yelagiri and he would like to know the nearby hotels and the detailed information, the same
can be provided as a service through your app. Similarly, lot of applications can be created
and deployed over Internet as freely available services or pay per use service through the
concept of Mobile Web Services.
All the very best for the students and faculty who are continuously encouraging for
developing applications to lead the Indian Market with the help of Cloud Computing in
Mobile Applications. This Conference gives me an opportunity to share my knowledge and
ideas with the gathering. Thanks.

from University of Madras in 2000. His research work focuses on Context-Aware Systems, Vehicular Ad hoc Networks,

Most Simple Definition of Cloud Computing
There was a time when every household, town, farm or village had its own
water well. Today, shared public utilities give us access to clean water by
simply turning on the tap; cloud computing works in a similar fashion. Just like
water from the tap in your kitchen, cloud computing services can be turned on
or off quickly as needed. Like at the water company, there is a team of
dedicated professionals making sure the service provided is safe, secure and
available on a 24/7 basis. When the tap isn't on, not only are you saving water,
but you aren't paying for resources you don't currently need.

Abstract
Cloud computing promises to increase the velocity with which applications are deployed, increase innovation and
lower costs, all while increasing business agility. Sun takes an inclusive view of cloud computing that allows it to
support every facet, including the server, storage, network, and virtualization technology that drives cloud computing
environments to the software that runs in virtual appliances that can be used to assemble applications in minimal
time. This white paper discusses how cloud computing transforms the way we design, build, and deliver applications,
and the architectural considerations that enterprises must make when adopting and using cloud computing
technology.

Abstract
This report will help readers to know the basics of cloud computing and also to gain an understanding on how cloud
computing works. It will be beneficial to all people who want to save money on infrastructures. Cloud-based on-
demand web-services, such as databases, queues, identity management, data on-demand, widgets, etc. are meeting
with browser-based thick-client frameworks such as AJAX, Adobe Flex, MS Silverlight, etc. to create a new breed of
applications, built on a resuscitated Client/Server (Client/Server 2.0) SOA-based paradigm. The traditional "business

Abstract
Cloud computing is the use of computing resources (hardware and software) that are delivered as a service over a
network (typically the Internet). The name comes from the use of a cloud-shaped symbol as an abstraction for the
complex infrastructure it contains in system diagrams. Cloud computing entrusts remote services with a user's data,
software and computation. End users access cloud-based applications through a web browser or a light-weight
desktop or mobile app while the business software and user's data are stored on servers at a remote location.
Proponents claim that cloud computing allows enterprises to get their applications up and running faster, with
improved manageability and less maintenance, and enables IT to more rapidly adjust resources to meet fluctuating
and unpredictable business demand Cloud computing relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and
economies of scale similar to a utility (like the electricity grid) over a network. At the foundation of cloud computing is
the broader concept of converged infrastructure and shared services. Cloud computing is the use of computing
resources (hardware and software) that are delivered as a service over a network (typically the Internet). The name
comes from the use of a cloud-shaped symbol as an abstraction for the complex.

Abstract
Mobile computing is human-computer interaction by which a computer is expected to be transported during normal
usage. Two main trends of development in the mobile computing area can be characterized by the development to
enhance communications by mobile network computers and how manufacturers add more and more functionality to
small mobile computers. Mobile network computers have a continuous connection with a main system to use the
server's capabilities to become less expensive and with fewer parts, moving parts more reliable. Needs and
expectations of wireless mobile users are actually about easy to use, simple products. These two trends have been
chosen to investigate possible products.

Abstract
Mobile technology is the technology used for cellular communication. Mobile Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA)
technology has evolved rapidly over the past few years. Since the start of this millennium, a standard mobile device
has gone from being no more than a simple two-way pager to being a mobile phone, Global Positioning System

Abstract
Today, IT is moving towards Cloud Computing. Cloud computing enables us to have access to hardware, software on
the go via cloud (known as, Internet). This has highly reduced the cost of purchasing any hardware or software. This
paper attempts to explain the various characteristics of cloud computing. It mainly focuses on various cloud
computing models such as, Service Models and Deployment Models.

Open source software is becoming the most interesting ‘new’ phenomenon of the entire information technology
landscape, generating a level of interest similar to that of the first moments of the Internet. Although in recent years it
has reached a critical mass, which has allowed it to enter the mainstream software market. India is in a good position
to take early advantage of open source. The impact of open source technology is expected to be quite noticeable in the
software industry, and in society as a whole. It allows for novel development models, especially well suited to
efficiently take advantage of the work of software developers spread across all corners of the planet. It also enables
completely new business models, which are shaping a network of groups and companies based on open source
software development. And it has, in general, a very positive impact as an enabler for the creation of new markets and
business opportunities.

Abstracts CLOUD AND MOBILITY FOR INDIAN MASSES
SOCIAL NETWORKING
Arvind Prasad and Jegan Prabu
Don Bosco College, Dharmapuri
Man, a social animal finding comfort and solace in a society, today when hardly he is free, socializes through
participatory and self-expressive websites like Twitter, MySpace, Facebook-where members expose, discuss, reveal,
and expound on their personal lives, activities, hopes, dreams, and even fantasies for others to marvel upon.
Statistically 93% of Indian adolescents aging 12-17 years go online and 95% of college students have a Facebook
account and the numbers is increasing. This paper highlights the importance, functioning, pros and cons of social
networking and ways to improve it with due concern of its cloud and mobility for Indian masses.
Keywords: Social Networking, Self-expressive Websites, Social Networking Sites, Pros and Cons of Social
Networking, Cloud, Mobility
DATABASE TECHNOLOGY
A database is a persistent collection of logically related data. It contains not only the data but also the complete
definition of the database structure and constraints, which are stored in a system catalog. A DBMS manages this data.
It allows data sharing and integration of data of an organization in a single database.
Keywords: Database Persistency, Database Structure, Constraints, DBMS, Data Sharing, Data Integration
ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING (ERP)

Open source refers to a program in which the source code is available to the general public for use and/or
modification from its original design free of charge. Some ERP software are also available as open source. ERP
stands for Enterprise Resource planning systems. It attempts to integrate all data and processes of an organization
into a unified system. A typical ERP system will use multiple components of computer software and hardware to
achieve the integration. A key ingredient of most ERP systems is the use of a unified database to store data for the
various system modules. This paper which explains about the general work of an ERP system is applicable for any
type of organization with its various modules.
Keywords: ERP, Enterprise Resource Planning, Data Integration, Software Integration, Hardware Integration, Unified
Database
CLIENT/SERVER COMPUTING: THE WAVE OF THE FUTURE

Client-server computing is one of the several computing by which the client software sends the request to the server
software and the server software does the process and returns the result to the client. By adopting the client-server
technology, the organizations have changed from steep hierarchies to flattened hierarchies. Also, network
management is replacing virtual management. As a result off all this, the organization is running more efficient and
hence, making more profits.
