DESCRIPTION:_*Please not the change of venue*_\n\n*Abstract:*\n\nIn this t

  its collaborations with academia\, and with such goal we are visiting a n
 umber of UK universities looking for long range research programs in areas
  of interest to TCS. We are looking for collaborations\, each\nof the form

 nTCS and academic partners in different countries and are seeking to exten
 d them further. \n\n*Bio:*\n\nDr Mathai Joseph was an executive director o
