NAATAK
presents its 28th production

FINAL SOLUTIONS
(English)
A play about bias, bigotry and bloodshed
Adapted & Directed by Harish Sunderam Agastya

ABOUT THE PLAY
This critically acclaimed play by Sahitya Akademi award-winning playwright Mahesh Dattani examines the never-ending saga of Hindu-Muslim conflict in India. Which "side" should take the blame for the madness? What does the future hold? The play ponders these difficult questions through the lens of three generations of a middle-class Gujarati family as they harbor two Muslim boys during a communal riot. Through a stylishly choreographed "mob" that represents the collective voice of either community, and a narrative that slickly moves back and forth between today and 1947, Final Solutions makes us rethink our own communal prejudices and perceptions.

Computational advertising is an emerging new scientific sub-discipline, at the intersection of large scale search and text analysis, information retrieval, statistical modeling, machine learning, classification, optimization, and microeconomics. The central challenge of computational advertising is to find the "best match" between a given user in a given context and a suitable advertisement. The context could be a user entering a query in a search engine ("sponsored search") , a user reading a web page ("content match" and "display ads"), a user watching a movie on a portable device, and so on. The information about the user can vary from scarily detailed to practically nil. The number of potential advertisements might be in the billions. Thus, depending on the definition of "best match" this challenge leads to a variety of massive optimization and search problems, with complicated constraints. This talk will give an introduction to this area and give a "taste" of some recent results.

Being at the forefront of today’s knowledge economy, the information that you receive and the knowledge that you acquire must be relevant and applicable to your business and personal goals.

Informa is delighted to bring the world’s largest and most respected series of leadership events to India for the very first time this year. With recent speakers including Sir Richard Branson, Kofi Annan, and Steve Forbes speaking in cities including London & Dubai, “Leaders” has built an indisputable track record of providing the most meaningful, timely and balanced information from those whose ideas, achievements and words define inspiration .

By the same token, Leaders in India Business Forum 2008 is not just about the biggest names in global business: by virtue of an extensive research program with global and Indian businesses, the 2008 Forum is also the most comprehensive platform for high level information exchange and peer-to-peer contact between Indian and global business leaders.

The forum will not merely highlight the multifarious challenges facing Indian and global business, but also focus on the solutions to these problems. It will certainly study the past, but only to understand how to better deal with the present. And when looking to the future, it will do so with view to implementing ideas for growth and continued success.

To be part of one of the most exciting and inspiring events on the international business calendar in 2008, ensure that Mumbai between 4th - 6th December is in your diary, and reserve your places now, as 'Leaders' Business Forums always sell out early.

Wishing you and your team a successful, exciting and inspiring 2008.
