CALL FOR PAPERS
International Symposium on Microwaves - 2004
1 to 3 September 2004
IEEE Bangalore Section is organizing a half day tutorial and two days symposium to bring together national and international organizations and specialists from the areas of microwave components and subsystems, Opto-electronic devices, MMICs, Antennas, Circuits, Wireless Technologies, Radar sensors, Telecommunication, Microelectronics and test Measurements at Bangalore, the hub of RF activities.
The symposium is being organized by IEEE Bangalore Section and sponsored by IMEC. The Symposium is also being co-sponsored by other fellow Professional Societies and Organizations like IETE Bangalore Centre, IEE (UK) Bangalore, IMAPS and other Government and Non-Government Organizations. The focus area of deliberations would be in the applications of Microwave Technology in the field of Defence, Space, Civilian, Medical, Industrial, Atomic, Energy, CSIR/DIT etc.
Along with the Symposium a three day International Exhibition on International Microwave Electronics and Communication will be held in Bangalore from 1 to 3 September 2004.
About ISM-04
The last couple of decades saw significant increase in the utilization of the microwave spectrum with the telecommunications industry successfully commercializing newer and newer systems operating at higher and higher microwave frequencies. This trend has enabled the production of microwave components and systems in larger quantities in contrast to fewer numbers of defense related products of yesteryears. The reduction in unit cost associated with the bulk production has enabled widespread proliferation of such microwave components and systems. Apart from telecommunications, the digital computer systems are also encroaching the microwave spectrum. With chips already in the market, the industry is focusing on board level interconnects with data transfer rates at several Giga bits per second. Newer designs and fabrication technologies such as MEMS for microwave components would help to meet this demand.
The International Symposium on Microwaves is therefore focusing on all areas of microwave engineering and is being held in association with an International Microwave Electronics & Communication Exhibition at the same venue. It is hoped that the coming together of Scientists and Engineers along with industry personnel will largely increase the pace of Microwave related activities in India.

BRV Vardan Undergraduate Student Paper Contest-2004 And IEEE Bangalore Section Graduate Student Paper Contest-2004
As part of the Thirteenth IEEE Annual Symposium - 2004 (Symposium dates: 26-27 Nov, 2004) Student Paper Contests will be held as detailed below. The objective is to encourage and promote excellence and competition among students so that they will be ready to take up challenging R&D tasks upon graduation.
ELIGIBILITY: The Contest is open to all students (both IEEE members and non-members) enrolled in B.E/B.Tech (for UG) and M.E/ M.Tech/ M.Sc(Engg) (for PG) programs of engineering colleges, located within the state of Karnataka. The technical paper should be in the general areas of Electrical, Electronics, Instrumentation, Communication and Computer Engineering.
THE PRIZE: For both UG and PG contests there will be two prizes each (first and second).
FIRST PRIZE: Rs. 6000/
SECOND PRIZE: Rs. 4000/
PROCEDURE: In the undergraduate category, the technical paper should contain description of original work by the student/ students with or without collaboration. It could also be an expository paper on a topic of current interest. Not more than 3 students should author each contribution. In the postgraduate category, the paper should contain description of original research work and should be authored strictly by one student. Students who have recently left an institution after completion of their course of study in 2003-2004 are also eligible to participate in the contest.
FORMAT: The technical paper should start with a title page consisting of (i) Title of paper, (ii) Name(s) of Author(s), Address(es), and (iii) An abstract of about 100 words. The body of the paper following the title page should be divided into sections like introduction, theory, problem formulation, experimental setup, algorithm, results, conclusions, etc, as needed. The paper should end with a list of references generally following IEEE transactions style. The paper should be typewritten with one and a half line space on one side on A4 size paper and should not exceed 10 pages inclusive of diagrams and pictures. Diagrams, if any, should contain captions. The manuscript should be accompanied by Self-declaration by author(s) that: "I/We declare that this paper has been completely compiled and prepared by me/ us". A letter from the Head of the Department/Principal should be enclosed, certifying that the participant(s) is/was/are/were student(s) of the institution during the academic year 2003-2004.
SUBMISSION: Submitted papers will be short-listed based on merit and the authors are required to register and make oral presentation in the Annual Symposium. The short listed papers will also be published in the symposium proceedings. The prize-winning papers will be selected at the Symposium based on the quality of the technical content as well the oral presentation in the Annual Symposium. Three copies of the manuscript (full paper) should be sent to the following address and should reach by 15 September, 2004 to:
Dr. T. Srinivas,
ECE Department, Indian Institute of
Science, Bangalore 560012.
Phone: 080 - 22932852, Fax:
080-23600563.
E-mail: srinu@ece.iisc.ernet.in
One author of each of the accepted papers may be provided second-class train fare on request.
NOTE: The winning entries will be sent to the IEEE Region 10 contest, where they have a further chance of getting a prize. However, it may be noted that the Region 10 Contest is open only to the IEEE student members. We urge all the students to become Student Members of IEEE.
THIRTEENTH ANNUAL SYMPOSIUM On POWER SYSTEMS
November 26-27, 2004
Call For Papers
In midst of the mobile frenzy, mobile and wireless computing was hailed as a revolutionary paradigm shift. As the true reality of wireless capabilities became clear, wireless is now seen as an extension of the current business tools we have in place. Cellular phones did not fundamentally change the way people communicated. Talking on the phone was not new, but the convenience and availability cell phones brought were. Our belief is that wireless data will bring corporations equally powerful benefits within the framework and business processes we already understand. Wide-area Cellular Systems and Wireless LANs promise to make integrated networks a reality and provide a fully distributed and ubiquitous mobile computing, thus overcoming the limits of immobility. Furthermore, services for mobile users are maturing and are poised to change the nature and scope of computing. Original research work and contribution based on theoretical/ analytical/ numerical/ experimental investigations are invited. Topics of interest include, but not limited to, the following:
· Applications and computing services
that support the mobile user
· Security, scalability, and
reliability issues Nomadic computing
· Network architectures, protocols, or
service algorithms
· Wearable computing and networking
· Satellite communications
· Performance characterization of
mobile/wireless networks
· Quality of service and integrated
services in mobile or wireless networks
· Network management for mobile and
wireless networks
· Mobile Internetworking
· Intelligent network signaling
· Data management and databases for
mobile environments
· Mobile VoIP
· Mobile ad hoc and sensor networks
· Service integration and
internetworking of wired and wireless networks
· Power management and control
algorithms
· User interfaces and systems design
· Interaction between different layers
of mobile or wireless systems
· Theory/algorithms
Authors are requested to send 3 copies of a 2000 word extended summary of their papers to the following address by post/Fax or email a soft copy to
Dr. T. Srinivas
ECE Dept, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore 560012.
Tel: (080) 2293 2852/3173; Fax: (080) 23600563.
Email: srinu@ece.iisc.ernet.in
The papers may be formatted using MS Word or Latex, preferably using IEEE style file, and should be prepared as a single doc or ps or pdf file. Authors of accepted papers are required to submit a camera-ready form of the full paper, register for symposium and present their paper. Accepted papers will be published in the symposium proceedings. Students are especially encouraged to attend the symposium. Second Class train fare may be provided to a limited number of authors on request.
