Welcome to the Second International Conference on Contemporary Computing, which was held in Noida (outskirts of New Delhi), India. Computing is an exciting and evolving area. This conference, which was jointly organized by the Jaypee Institute of Information Technology University, Noida, India and the University of Florida, Gainesville, USA, focused on topics that are of contemporary interest to computer and computational scientists and engineers. The conference had an exciting technical program of 61 papers submitted by - searchers and practitioners from academia, industry and government to advance the algorithmic, systems, applications, and educational aspects of contemporary comp- ing. These papers were selected from 213 submissions (with an overall acceptance rate of around 29%). The technical program was put together by a distinguished int- national Program Committee. The Program Committee was led by the following Track Chairs and Special Session Chairs: Srinivas Aluru, Rajkumar Buyya, Yeh-Ching Chung, Sumeet Dua, Ananth Grama, Sandeep Gupta, Rajeev Kumar and Vir Phoha. I would like to thank the Program Committee, the Track Chairs and Special Session Chairs for their tremendous effort.
