Kansas City) and Ashok Srivastava (NASA Ames Research Center, USA). The tutorials were on security issues in distributed systems and enterprise resource planning. Wetake this opportunity to thank various peopleand organizations who c- tributed to make this conference a grand success. Our heartfelt thanks to the track chairs whose full cooperation and technical assessments were crucial to achieve this high level of quality even in the ?rst edition of the conference. The full participation of the program committee members and the reviewers made it possible to complete the peer-review process in time. We are extremely thankful to them. We would like to thank our advisors and general chair for having c- ?dence in us. Our special thanks go to A. Samanta and P. K. Mishra of KIIT for their support and encouragement in organizing this conference. We gratefully acknowledge the ?nancial and logistic support extended by KIIT in hosting this conference. TheAllIndiaCouncilofTechnicalEducation(AICTE),Government ofIndia,NewDelhiprovided agenerousgrant-in-aid fororganizingICDCIT. We thankfully acknowledge AICTE’s support. We are thankful to Springer for its cooperation in publishing the proceedings in such a short time. We are also thankful to our parent departments, Department of Computer Science and - gineering, IIT Kanpur and Department of Computer and Information Sciences, University of Hyderabad, for providing infrastructural support to carry out the editorial work. We thank Krithi Ramamritham and Pradeep Khosla for agr- ing to deliver the lectures in the plenary sessions.
