INDICON 2010

2010 IEEE Annual India Conference (INDICON) was organized by IEEE Calcutta Section jointly with IEEE India Council in December 17 – 19, 2010 at Jadavpur University, Kolkata, India. INDICON has been the flagship conference of IEEE India Council in the field of Computer Science and Engineering, Electrical Engineering & Electronics and Communication Engineering, in general, since 2004, which originated by reformation of the earlier Annual Convention and Exhibition (ACE) of IEEE India Council.

INDICON was first organized by IEEE Kharagpur Section at IIT Kharagpur during 20-22 Dec, 2004. Subsequently INDICON was organized by IEEE Madras Section (11-13 Dec, 2005 at IIT Madras), IEEE Delhi Section (15-17 Sep, 2006 at IIT Madras), Bangalore Section (6-8 Sep, 2007 at IISc Bangalore), IEEE UP Section (11-13 Dec, 2008 at IIT Kanpur) and IEEE Gujarat Section (18-20 Dec, 2009 at DAIIT Ahmedabad).

INDICON 2010, was in its 7th year. Having received overwhelming response from various spheres, INDICON has already attained an image of its own.

This Conference was dedicated to the great Indian Scientists Sir J C Bose and Sir C V Raman who worked from Calcutta.

"Green Energy, Computing and Communication", was conceived to be the theme of the conference as Green technology has been felt to be the need of the hour, but the scope was not limited to the theme only.

INDICON 2010 got a overwhelming response from the academia as well as Industry as 445 papers were initially submitted. Based on the constraints and standard processes, only 171 papers were finally shortlisted for oral presentation through 3 tracks and 33 technical sessions of one and a half hour to two hour duration.

Professor Debesh Kumar Das, SMIEEE, Minister In Charge Department of IT, Government of West Bengal, was the chief guest at the inaugural Session of INDICON 2010, where Professor Ajoy Kumar Ray, Vice Chancellor Bengal engineering and Science University(BESU), Shibpur, General Chair, and Prof. K. Rajgopal, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, Chairman IEEE India Council, addressed on the occasion. Professor Siddhartha Dutta Pro-Vice-Chancellor of Jadavpur University, was the Guest of honor. Professor Kalyan K Mallik, Conference Chair, welcomed all dignitaries and participants to INDICON 2010.

Professor Ashoke K Barua, Chairman, National Solar Mission, Government of India, Emeritus Professor BESU, and former Director, Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science, delivered the Keynote Address on ‘Climate Changes and Role of Green Energy.

Three eminent Scholars, Professor Partha Pratim Chakroborty from IIT Kharagpur, Dr. Sudhir Dixit from H.P Lab Bengaluru and Professor V. Ramgopal Rao from IIT Bombay, delivered Plenary Lectures, on ‘Design Verification of Hardware and Embedded Systems: Challenges and Trends’, ‘Simplified user interaction accelerates ICT adoption’, and ‘Convergence of Bio-Nano-Information Technologies in the More than Moore Era, respectively.

In addition to this, there were invited lecture Sessions by three distinguished speakers, Professsor Sanghamitra

Bandyopadhyay from Indian Statistical Institute Kolkata, Dr. Ranavir Bose from Fujitsu Communication Texas and Professor Sudip Mazumder from University of Illinois Chicago. They delivered excellent talks on, ‘Advances and Challenges in Computational Biology’, ‘Energy Sustainability for Telecom Service Providers - Economics, Regulations and Standards’, and on ‘Advanced Power Electronics for Green Energy Systems’, respectively.

There were pre-conference tutorials along with WIE, GOLD and Student Activities joint program as integral parts of INDICON 2010. The tutorial topics were ‘IP based Internet-of-Things for Smart Grids - a use case for Green ICT’ by Prateep Misra, Soma Bandyopadhyay, Jaydip Sen: Innovation Lab, Tata Consultancy Services. Kolkata; ‘Energy-Efficient Robust Systems in Scaled CMOS and Beyond’ by Subhasish Mitra, Stanford University, USA; ‘Automated bug localization for software programs: Approaches and Recent Directions’ by Ansuman Banerjee, Indian Statistical Institute,Kolkata, India. Professor Ramalatha Marimuthu, IEEE R-10 WIE Coordinator, graced the WIE, GOLD and Student Meet as Chief Guest.

Besides this an exhibition was conducted as part of INDICON 2010 where M/s Intech Infonet, the Platinum Sponsor of the conference participated. M/s TCS Ltd was the Silver Sponsor.

The Conference was patronized by Department of Information technology, Government of West Bengal. Besides this, three eminent universities, Jadavpur University, Bengal Engineering & Science University, and West Bengal University of Technology were the Patron Institutions of INDICON 2010.

The unwavering contribution by the Advisory committee has been the foundation of the conference. The guidance and participation of the track chairs Professor Nabanita Das, Professor Chandan Kumar Sarkar and Professor Sujit Biswas had enhanced the scheduling and organization of the conference tracks and sessions.
