MBA	Framework	12	Framework for predictive software maintenance model Industry: Infosys Labs Location: BANGALORE (India) Project overview: Software maintenance is defined as the process of modifying existing software (installed in the production environment and is being used on regular basis by the business users) to correct faults to improve performance and adapt the system to the changed environment. The maintenance requests are of following categories: corrective, preventive, adaptive, user support and perfective. Today business is facing the challenge of managing and reducing the maintenance and support cost of IT systems. In the current scenario, the maintenance cost is around 80 % of IT spend and at the same time the software systems are getting more complex day by day due to sophisticated business needs, leading to more unpredictability in IT spend. In this context, it is imperative that we have a framework that helps in estimating the right amount of maintenance work needed in a new system, predicting the future state of the system and when the system will need to undergo preventive maintenance exercise, so as to ensure IT spend for the system is kept under control. Primary objectives: a) The framework to estimate the maintenance / support effort for a new system that is to be rolled over to production based on predicting the software maintenance quality. b) The framework to predict system performance trends / system outages, and thereby determining the need for preventive maintenance exercise.
Master's, MBA, PhD	Cloud	24	In-cloud analytics: data analytics over cloud data Industry: Infosys Labs Location: HYDERABAD (India) Cloud research is focused on delivering an application and computing power as a service. Large number of users access huge number of services residing on millions of servers. Huge voluminous data gets processed every second. The cloud research team at SETLabs has been researching on the applicability of the cloud to various requirements and technologies. A potential outcome of in-cloud analytics project at Infosys labs is to build efficient, optimized infrastructure and resource usage of cloud, and can help in providing computationally heavy analytic services at a very low cost way by parallelizing over cloud. Hosting data mining algorithms over cloud possesses many challenges. For example, development of an attention allocation over cloud spans multiple areas including cloud analytics, distributed analytics, machine learning and text mining. Attention allocation system continuously and adaptively “crawls” the Web while collecting information, which can be categorized into predefined categories. The information so extracted will be rated with relevance score against any particular customer service requirement. Depending on these relevance scores, real-time alerts, reports and feedbacks are sent to customers for their action. The Attention allocation system provides a means of finding the relevance of predefined categories with respect to customer service requirements. This intern project aims at building visualization-driven data analytics for high dimensional real data to study the impact of classification and clustering techniques. Deliverables of the project work are: Literature review on high-performance-computing-based analytics in the cloud environment, development of algorithms for visualization-driven analytics using classification and clustering techniques to support in-cloud analytics, and prototype development.
Master's, MBA, PhD	Analysis	24	Analyzing financial parameters using predictive analytics techniques Industry: Infosys Labs Location: HYDERABAD (India) An inference and diagnostic framework helps in identifying the reasons for a symptom, deviation from normal behavior exhibited by the system, and suggesting a complete, optimal repair strategy for putting the system back to action. Bayesian network helps in enabling root cause analysis that is based on past data. On the other hand, data sets, where the data follows the time series, are generally very large and increase very fast. Remembering the complete data set for any analytics each time represents an overhead. In order to use the vast data set, it is a better idea to capture interesting patterns from the data set, which describe important behavior patterns of data. Thus, there is a clear need to identify interesting time periods or streaks. This project aims at analyzing financial parameters (e.g., macroeconomic variables) and their impact when there is a change in one variable or more. We would like to use Bayesian networks and streak analysis to predict the future scenarios. This project involves designing novel algorithms (or extending existing techniques) to predict the impact and also find the streaks in a time series, followed by prototype development.

Globalization and increasing competition have resulted in long and complex supply chains with reduced visibility and control over all the links. It is becoming increasingly difficult for parent organizations to identify, measure, prioritize, and mitigate risks for improved decision-making. Social media can provide early warning of risks facing an organization. Should the board formally review this information, or does this represent an encroachment on managerial prerogative? Which social media metrics should be presented to the board and which is to be excluded? Where do the responsibilities of the board end and those of management begin? One important task of the board is to monitor organizational reputation. How is this currently done? Should overall sentiment derived from social media sources be a primary input in this analysis? Some of questions to be studied are: How do we collect massive amounts of social media data and what techniques can be used for correcting the effects and biases arising from incomplete and missing data? What methods can be used to extract and track the flow of interesting pieces of information that spread and diffuse among users? How can we identify the subset of content that is discussing not only a specific entity, but higher-level concepts that are topically relevant? How do we overcome the information overload and provide users with rich and coherent experience? How to deal with unreliable and often conflicting information? What notions of trust are appropriate?
Master's, MBA	Research and development	12	Integrated reporting challenges and role of ICT Industry: Infosys Labs Location: BANGALORE (India) There is increasing momentum towards Integrated Reporting worldwide. The International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC), defines Integrated Reporting as the language evidencing sustainable business. It is the means by which companies communicate how value is created and will be enhanced over the short, medium and long term. It involves a set of processes and activities, one result of which is communication, most visibly through a concise, annual integrated report about the way in which an organizational strategy, governance, performance and prospects lead to the creation and enhancement of value. How each organization attempts to achieve this will vary. Integrated Reporting reflects and supports integrated thinking, defined as the ability of those within the organization, especially management, to understand the interconnections between the full range of functions, operations, resources and relationships, which have a material effect on the organizational ability to create value over time. The journey towards Integrated Reporting therefore also entails a mindset change about how the company makes its money. The objective of the project is to identify challenges for enterprises for Integrated Reporting and how ICT can enable enterprises overcome identified challenges.
MBA	Framework	12	A framework to identify and validate grand challenges of the organization Industry: Infosys Labs Location: PUNE (India) Organizations face lot many challenges that affect their business; however not every challenge has a big impact on organizational growth. The problems that impact organizations substantially are the grand challenges of organizations. If challenges are clearly defined and validated as grand challenges then the organization can focus on those challenges and will be able to devise some solutions to tackle those challenges. The key issues are: How to identify organizational challenges? How to validate identified challenges as grand challenges? How to prioritize grand challenges? How to align grand challenges to empower tomorrow’s enterprise? From a technology perspective, the issue is about using technology to manage the grand challenge. The solution to address this problem lies in developing a comprehensive framework, which will provide a step-by-step methodology to identifying and validating the grand challenge. The methodology for developing the framework can be: (1) First step is to identify the key variables that will define grand challenge. (2) After identifying the key variables, it is necessary to find the data and data sources required for those variables. (3) Metrics need to be developed to identify the impact of these variables and availability or unavailability of data. (4) A formula or algorithm has to be devised to identify the overall impact of the grand challenge on the organization. This framework will be helpful in prioritizing challenges, and hence resources can be optimally used to solve organizational challenges. It will help organizations to be more competitive in tomorrow’s world.

Master's, MBA, PhD	Workforce management	6	Networked organizations and workforce of 2020 Industry: Manufacturing Location: HYDERABAD (India) Brief description: 1. What shape will networked organizations take by 2020? 2. How will the workforce of 2020 look like? 3. What challenges will employee and organizations face? Boundaries between personal and professional life, work life balance, etc. 4. What will be various collaboration options: ESS, OSN, mobility, remote / diversity / global workforce? 5. What challenges and opportunities it throws for companies like Infosys in terms of IT services and business solutions / products? In the course of the five past decades, semantics of corporate core concepts, such as networked organization and workforce, have been subject to sometimes revolutionary redefinitions. It is commonly accepted that this development is attributable to shifts in both economic and sociological power constellations. On the one hand, ongoing processes of globalization increase the internationalization of economic sectors, ranging from banking all the way to manufacturing. On the other hand, relatively new sociopolitical phenomena such as female empowerment, emergence of new technologies, and new generational paradigms of thinking are arguably intricately interconnected with sustainable and inclusive globalization. This poses both challenges and opportunities for networked organizations and the workforce. Assuming that the world will be even more global by 2020, the significance of these issues is likely to remain in the future. Hence, this project deals with a wide range of topics, which eventually have intrinsic impact on how corporations cope with both external and internal changes in terms of business communication and human resource development.
