[AFRICON] The 11th IEEE Region 8 African Conference - Mauritius

The IEEE AFRICON is pleased to announce the 11th edition of the IEEE Region 8 flagship conference of the African continent to be held from 9 to 12 September 2013. The conference will take place on the beautiful tropical island of Mauritius rated as one of the top tourist destinations and famous for its calmness, peace and harmony. Located about 2,000 kilometers off the south-east coast of Africa, the island, which is known as the Star and Key of the Indian Ocean, harbors warm turquoise lagoons along with endless white beaches and an unmatched landscape.

The natural beauty and warmth of the island matches well with the theme of the conference which is “Sustainable Engineering for a Better Future”. At a time where sustainability and green practices are considered as integral aspects of engineering practices and gaining increasing importance, the conference will provide an ideal platform for professionals, academia and industry from IEEE Region 8 and all over the world to meet and discuss the latest research works and findings.

The conference, hosted by the Mauritius IEEE sub section, will feature 12 technical symposia where high quality technical papers covering a spectrum of areas, will be presented, including:
Sustainable Engineering, Energy and Environment
Communication Theory and Wireless Communications
Communications Networks and Security
Multimedia and Signal Processing
Cloud Computing, GRIDs and Virtualization
Mobile Computing and Geo-Processing systems
Scientific Computing and Computational Engineering
E-learning and Educational Technology
Instrumentation and Control
Nanotechnology, materials and structures
Power Electronics
Business Informatics, Software Engineering and Web Services

The conference will also feature in-depth tutorial sessions and workshops to provide participants from all over the world and involved in various engineering related fields with the opportunity to come together and share experiences, learn and explore solutions regarding the unique issues and challenges of some of the topical issues in the field of engineering.

In addition to the technical, educational and professional opportunities, the relaxed setting of the conference will also be especially conducive to networking and will provide a place for academics and professionals with cross-disciplinary interests to meet and interact with members inside and outside their own particular disciplines thereby fostering future collaboration and business prospects.

Come early and enjoy your stay in Mauritius for a fascinating AFRICON 2013 experience!

[ADCOM] The 18th International Conference on Advanced Computing and Communications - Bangalore, India

ACCS, a partner society of the IEEE Computer Society, is a registered scientific society in India founded to provide a forum to individuals, institutions and industry to promote and disseminate their innovative and pioneering work in Computing and Communications Sciences. ADCOM, the flagship Systems Conference of the ACCS, is a major annual international meeting that attracts professionals from industry, academia and governments across the world. ADCOM is a very successful and a highly rated event that draws leading scientists and researchers in computational engineering. ADCOM 2012 focuses on the growing importance of Large Scale Systems Engineering and Virtualization will be the main theme. Virtualization emphasizes reducing and optimizing resource consumption in the march towards sustainable computing and is one of the pillars of today’s System design and deployment. The concept of Virtualization is very broad and is applied to devices, hardware platforms, operating systems, servers...

[C3] The 1st International Workshop on Cognitive Coputing and Communications - California, USA

"Cognitive" design has become one of the most important features in pervasive computing fields. Typically it is based on the utilization of machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms. Today, the sensors have been designed with smart, compressive sampling in order to reduce sensor samples even before reaching the CPU processing phase; the sensor networks have been made highly intelligent through the use of distributed machine learning mechanisms; the wireless networks have been made cognitive through cognitive radios; and many other examples. This international workshop is part of IEEE Percom 2013. It aims to bring the researchers together to exchange ideas on cognitive computing and communications (C3). We emphasize the pervasive computing applications of C3 for cognitive radios, biomedical systems, structure health monitoring, smart grid, robots, GENI, and other systems. The workshop will include around 15 presentations, posters, demos, and other res...
