OBJECTIVES

The impact of computers, particularly over last four decades, has changed practices in electrical engineering beyond recognition even though the process is not yet complete. CERA-09 aims to provide platform for bringing together teachers, researchers, professionals, managers and policy makers not only to discuss recent advances in off-line and on-line computer application techniques including use of associated fields of optimization, modeling, simulation, expert systems, artificial intelligence, neural network etc., but also to discuss the absorption of these areas in academic curriculum and industrial practices and to deliberate on directions needed to be taken up for future course of R&D and training in this vital areas.

Besides research papers, CERA-09 welcomes application oriented papers particularly relating to industry as well as papers highlighting applied problems for which appropriate solutions are being currently searched. Some of the themes identified for the conference are as under:

1. AI Techniques and Applications.
2. Bio-signal Processing and Instrumentation
3. Computer Networking, Security and Communication
4. Distribution System Automation and Reforms
5. Digital Protection and SCADA
6. Design, Operation and Condition Monitoring of Power Apparatus
7. Intelligent and Virtual Instrumentation
8. Distributed Electronic Measurements
9. Digital Signal and Image Processing
10. Digital Control, Automation and Robotics
11. Flexible AC Transmission System
12. Power Electronics
13. Power Quality Issues
14. Power System Restructuring
15. Power Semiconductor Controlled Electric Drives
16. Renewable Energy Systems
17. System Modeling and Simulation
