It was developed by Grady Booch, Ivar Jacobson and James Rumbaugh at Rational Software in 1994–1995, with further development led by them through 1996.

In 1997 UML was adopted as a standard by the Object Management Group (OMG), and has been managed by this organization ever since. In 2005 UML was also published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) as an approved ISO standard. Since then the standard has been periodically revised to cover the latest revision of UML.

Mr. Vidyaranya said that an engineer must possess good communication skills if he expects to be hired into a good firm or organization. Very often, the firms and organizations look for individuals who can go beyond the books and think brightly. One needs to be logical and think intellectually. While there are many engineering graduates who score well in their papers, there are very few who are true leaders. The greatest risk of being in the field of technology is that the technology existing now can become obsolete some day. One must be prepared to upgrade your skills to match the latest in technology.

He has worked as a Assistant Professor in the department of CSE, NIT Calicut for 2.5 years. HE is very much interested in Big data analytics, NoSQL databases, virtualization and cloud computing. He has published 2 conference papers for his research.

Big data is a phrase used to mean a massive volume of both structured and unstructured data that is so large it is difficult to process using traditional database and software techniques. In most enterprise scenarios the volume of data is too big or it moves too fast or it exceeds current processing capacity. Big Data has the potential to help companies improve operations and make faster, more intelligent decisions. The data is collected from a number of sources including emails, mobile devices, applications, databases, servers and other means. This data, when captured, formatted, manipulated, stored and then analyzed, can help a company to gain useful insight to increase revenues, get or retain customers and improve operations. While the term may seem to reference the volume of data, that isn't always the case. The term big data, especially when used by vendors, may refer to the technology (which includes the tools and processes), that an organization requires to handle the large amounts of data and storage facilities.

Mr. Dwaraknath,8th Semester, Dept. of CSE has rendered the master of ceremony, welcome speech and vote of thanks for the event.
