Synopsis

This volume comprises the proceedings of the International Conference on Recent Cognizance in Wireless Communication & Image Processing. It brings together content from academicians, researchers, and industry experts in areas of Wireless Communication and Image Processing. The volume provides a snapshot of current progress in computational creativity and a glimpse of future possibilities. The proceedings include two kinds of paper submissions: (i) regular papers addressing foundation issues, describing original research on creative systems development and modeling; and (ii) position papers describing work-in-progress or research directions for computational creativity. This work will be useful to professionals and researchers working in the core areas of wireless communications and image processing. 

About this title

About the Author

Dr. Nitin Afzulpurkar started his research in late 80s focusing on robotics especially parallel robotic architectures and their implementations on transputer networks. He published several journal papers in this area and received a best conference paper award in 1989 in New Zealand. In the mid 90s his research interests turned to computer vision and its application for robotics. Here his initial work was on stereo vision algorithms and its implementation on robotic platforms. Currently one main area of his research is still computer vision with focus on tracking and identification of human, emotion and gesture recognition, application of machine vision for electronics industry. He has published extensively in international journals and conferences with two international best paper awards (Germany and Croatia) and has received three US patents in this area. In early 2000 he started his research on Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) which forms a major area of his current research. Hehas published several papers in the top Journals in MEMS area and his book titled "Microfluidics and BioMEMS: Design, Fabrication and Applications" was published in 2009.

Dr Vishnu Srivastava is presently working as Chief Scientist and Head of the Microwave Tubes Division, CSIR-Central Electronics Engineering Research Institute (CSIR-CEERI), Pilani (Rajasthan), India, and as Professor of Ac-SIR (Academy for Scientific and Innovative Research, New Delhi). He received MSc degree in Physics from Rajasthan University, Jaipur, in 1975, and Ph.D. degree in Engineering from Lancaster University, U.K., in 1987. He was a commonwealth scholar from 1984 to 1987 in the UK, and was Junior Research Fellow at Rajasthan University during 1975.  He joined CSIR-CEERI, Pilani in January 1976. At CEERI, he was involved with the design and development of various types of high power vacuum microwave devices for communication and Radars. He developed X-band 200kW tunable Coaxial Magnetron forECCM Radars. He developed space-qualified C-band 60W TWT and Ku-band 140W TWT for satellite communication. He developed SUNRAY-codes for small-signal and large signal analysis of beam-wave interaction in TWTs.  His successfully developed SUNRAY-1D software code for multi-signal analysis of beam-wave interaction in TWTs, was exported to UK., and was also purchased by MTRDC (DRDO), Bangalore. He developed technologies for the successful development of high efficiency vacuum microwave amplifiers (Space TWTs) for satellite communication. Presently, he is associated with the design and development of vacuum microelectronic devices for THz communication – requiring innovations in MEMS technologies (UV LIGA processes) for such devices. He has more than 120 research publications in different national and international journals, and has already guided 8 PhD. students and more than 60 ME/MTech students.  He received IETE - JC Bose memorial awards for best engineering paper and best project team . He is a fellow of IETE and VEDA Society, and senior member of IEEE , CSI, IPA, IVS, PSI and IFTA. Recently, he was awarded Honorary Fellowship of Society for Education & Research Development (SERD), New Delhi. His present interests are in the design and development of high efficiency, high power vacuum microelectronic devices for mm- and sub-mm-wave frequencies.

Dr. Ghanshyam Singh has more than 15 years of teaching and research experience and is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Electronics & Communication Engineering at Malaviya National Institute of Technology Jaipur, India. He obtained his Bachelor's degree in Electronics & Communication Engineering from National Institute of Technology Silchar, Assam, India and his Master's and PhD degrees in Electronics & Communication Engineering from Malaviya National Institute of Technology Jaipur, India. He has guided more than 20 master's theses and presently guiding 6 PhD research scholars. His areas of research interest include Optical Communication Engineering, Optical Switches, Optical Logic Gates & Circuits, Photonic Crystal Fibers, Nano-photonics, Nano-optical structures, RF & Microwave devices, Microstrip and Smart Antennas. He has worked with the Optics group at the Department of Physics, Herriot Watt University, Edinburgh, UK. under the research grant from TEQIP, Govt. of India. He had also been a recipient of CIMO fellowship from Govt. of Finland to work with photonics groups at  Nanofabrication laboratory, Dept. of Physics and Mathematics, University of Eastern Finland, Joensuu, Finland. He has been a visiting Professor at Tsuda labs, Dept. of EEE, KEIO University, Hiyoshi Campus, Japan and participated in IKSS, Krutyn Poland. Presently engaged in a DST-JSPS sponsored research project with Prof. Hiroyuki Tsuda & Group, KEIO University, Japan (Period: 2014-2016). He is presently  a member of IEEE Photonic Society, SPIE, Optical Society of America (OSA), Optical Society of India (OSI), Indian Laser Society (ILA), Broadcast Engineering Society of India (BESI), IETE India, Institute of Engineers India, and Indian Society for Technical Education (ISTE).

Dr. Deepak Bhatnagar received his Master's and Ph.D. degrees in Physics from University of Rajasthan, Jaipur, India in 1981 and 1986, respectively. He is currently Associate Professor in Physics, University of Rajasthan, Jaipur and leads a group of 14 researchers in the microwave area. He has published over 140 papers in international and national journals and conference proceedings. His main area of interest is the design of compact wideband and circularly polarized patch antennas for modern communication systems. Dr. Bhatnagar is senior member of IEEE, Fellow of IETE (India) and life member of several other societies. He is Chairman of IEEE MTT-S India Council. He is currently working as a professor in the Department of Physics University of Rajasthan, and Director- Center for Convergence of Technology, Govt. of Rajasthan.
