Welcome to the Bangalore Chapter of IEEE Communications Society

IEEE Communications Society Bangalore Chapter

one-day workshop on

Wireless and Optical Networks

30 May 2009

Venue: ECE Dept, Indian Institute of Science

Timing: 9.30 am – 5.30pm (6 hours, with breaks)

Speakers: Dr. Rahul Sinha (wireless) and Dr. T Srinivas (optical)

Purpose of the Workshop

Networking is the current paradigm in communications. Wireless and Optical Networks are changing the communications world. The purpose of the workshop is to provide a balance between basic introduction and current developments. This is the first technical workshop of IEEE ComSoc Bangalore Chapter formed recently. One of the purpose of the workshop is to estimate the technical pulse of our members so that more specialised workshops can be organized. So a wide range of topics in wireless and optical networks will be covered at an intermediate level.

Topics

1. Wireless communications and Wireless networks

2. Cross layer design approach

3. Network coding

4. QoS and Resource Allocation

5. Service Provision based on Game Theory

6. Optical Communications and Fiber Optic networks

7. DWDM Netowrks

8. Optical Network management

9. .Optical Burst switched networks

10. Fiber optic CDMA networks

Registration

Registration fee is Rs. 1000/- per participant, which includes, kit/e-notes, lunch/tea. 50% off to students, further 20% off to IEEE members.

Registration fee payable on the spot in favour of IEEE Communication Society Bangalore Chapter.

But pre-registration is necessay by email to Dr. T Srinivas at tsrinu@ece.iisc.ernet.in
