Top professionals of innovative computing, electronics and communications are participating in a two-day international conference on ‘Advances in Computing and Communication Engineering’ which started at Tula’s Institute of Engineering and Management here on Friday.
The conference is technically sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Uttar Pradesh (UP) section and supported by the Uttarakhand Advanced Certificate in Management (ACM) Professional chapter.
The organisers claim that two-day event will provide a forum for researchers and engineers in both academia and industry to exchange the latest innovations and research advancements in Innovative Computing, and Communication and Engineering.
In his keynote address Tarek N Saadawi of City University, New York said that connected vehicles are the future of the automobile industry.
He cited the example of a robotic vehicle, a driverless car, which was driven from San Francisco to New York City on an experimental basis in 2014 in this respect. He said that probably by the year 2020, one in five cars in the United States would be driverless.
Speaking on the occasion the Chairman of Tula’s Institute, Sunil Kumar Jain said that without the benefit of engineering, nothing can be achieved in any field.
He said that it is vital that each country develop its engineering infrastructure to contribute its bit effectively on a global scale.
Other speakers on the first day were Chairman of the IEEE UP section and Professor at IIT Kanpur S.N. Singh, Professor at Bipin Tripathi Kumaon Institute of Technology (BTKIT) K.S. Vaisla and Ashok Prajapati who is a senior Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (SMIEEE), Factory Automation Numerical Control (FANUC) Robotics Corporation, USA.
