M2M Dashboard is an application and associated services built off the “Cloud Foundry” platform that demonstrates the endless possibilities that the “Internet Of Things” can bring to life. The services built as part of this project allow for easy registration and communication between various devices that allow for ambulances/emergency vehicles to move in the cities swiftly on event of emergencies. The devices communicate back to the traffic control to allow for the traffic signals to be operated automatically. Devices communicate with each other over the extremely lightweight MQTT protocol using the publish/subscribe mechanism in a secure environment. The students demonstrated this project with the help of a live model and a highly creative video that is a must watch !! The app is now all set to go live on IBM Bluemix.

Tropo services from Team VITCC is a Cloud-based service advertising and searching platform which allows any service available locally to be easily published and searched over the cloud in a matter of seconds based on your own location. The composible services constructed as part of this project were a great fitment for something that is now being built for IBM BlueMix. Students have already started working on it.
2nd Runner Up: vCloud
- College Name: Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology, Nagpur
Diplav D. Dongre, Jayshil H. Patel, Gourav Sharma

The vCloud Project changed the out of the box VM Allocation Algorithm implemented by OpenStack. The new algorithm finds best compute node based on current Load of RAM, CPU and Disk, where the program uses best fit, first fit and load balancing strategies with and without live migration The project also involved implementation of and automation of OpenStack Cloud installation in the college data center.
