Researchers and Scientists from more than 21 Countries discuss latest trends of “Signal Processing and Integrated Networks” at Amity
Department of Engineering and Technology, Amity School of Engineering and Technology (ASET) together with Institution of Electrical & Electronics Engineers (IEEE), USA inaugurated 3rd International Conference on “Signal Processing and Integrated Networks, SPIN-2016” at Amity University Campus by Dr. Patrick Gaydecki, Professor, Sensing, Imaging and Signal Processing Group, University of Manchester, Dr. Rangraj M. Rangayyan, Professor Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and an Adjunct Professor of Surgery and Radiology,University of Calgary, Canada and Dr. B Shukla- Vice Chancellor, Amity University
Dr.M K Dutta, Joint Acting Head , Amity School of Engineering& Technology (ASET), Prof. (Dr.) Abhay Bansal- Head, Department of Computer Science & Engineering inaugurated the Conference.
Welcoming the distinguished gathering, Prof. (Dr.) K.M.Soni, Deputy Dean, Domain Engineering and Technology, Amity University stated that Conferences like SPIN enrich the knowledge of the students beyond classroom teaching and groom them as per the industry requirements. It gives an opportunity to Scientists, Researchers and Academicians to discuss the latest developments in the area with their counterparts from other countries and benefit thereof. He expressed his hope that SPIN will culminate in fruitful collaborations amongst Institutions in terms of research and academics enrichment.
Addressing the gathering, Dr. Rangraj M.Rangayyan, Professor Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Adjunct Professor of Surgery and Radiology, University of Calgary outlined the evolution of Signal Processing over last 4o years and remarked that Signal Processing Professionals are no longer restricted to the traditional use of Signal Processing but they are increasingly using tools of Signal Processing in diverse fields of Science and Technology including Healthcare since medical problems affect majority of the population. He stressed that Signal Processing is aiding medical field big time and is helping in improving the quality of life. He called upon the students to face and solve the challenges existing in the field of Signal Processing and add to the knowledge available in this area.Commending the sincerity and knowledge of Amity students, Dr. Rangraj expressed his desire to initiate Student Exchange Programmes with Amity followed by Faculty Exchange Programmes.
Addressing the gathering, Dr. Ashok K Chauhan- Founder President, Amity expressed his joy in meeting Scientists and Researchers from over 21 countries under one roof expressed his hope that concrete outcome in terms of initiating long term and sustainable association with brilliant brains across the globe will be achieved. He announced that a website would be developed and launched which will act as a platform for the Researchers and Scientists participating in SPIN to take forward their discussions and deliberations for mutually benefiting association in terms of student exchange, faculty exchange, joint patents and joint product developments.
Sharing his views, Dr. Patrick Gaydecki- Professor, Sensing,Imaging and Signal Processing Group, University of Manchester said that human brains are limited by cognitive closure ie. human brains are constitutionally incapable of solving certain perennial problems, since they are unaware of the existence of those problems. He stated that Mathematics is all pervasive in the Universe and the Universe is described by Mathematics. He called upon the students to have fundamental understanding of the Universe and think deeply about the problems around. He commended Amity students for their adeptness in Mathematics, Algorithms and Hardware knowledge, integration of which is needed to pursue high end research in the area of Sensing, Imaging and Signal Processing.
Prof.M K Dutta, while sharing his views and welcoming all National and International Delegates, said that SPIN has grown in stature with every passing year and stressed that SPIN 2016 has attracted participation from 25States of India and many countries worldwide. He highlighted that the Conference would comprise of interesting and engrossing sessions on Network Security, Networking, Bio-Signaling, Artificial Intelligence, Digital Speed Processing and others. He expressed his hope that the Conference will lead to meaningful and sustainable results.
Prof. Raimo Kantola- Dept of Communications and Networking, Aalto University, Finland, while sharing his views on“Trust and Security for 5G and the Internet” stressed that 5G is the next step in the evolution of the Internet and it is expected to provide ultra-reliable service to the users. In the Internet, services can fail due to unpredictable malicious activities including Distributed Denial of Service attacks, intrusions that use viruses, Trojans and botnets. He remarked that 5Gneeds a significant step forward in its approach to security in order to fulfill its claim to provide ultra-reliable services. On the level of interactions between senders and receivers, he proposed a new cooperative firewall technology called Customer Edge Switching (CES) that admits all traffic flows based on policy.
While sharing his views in “Wireless Healthcare: Electronics and Systems”, Prof. Hsi-Pin Ma- Department of Electrical Engineering, National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan said that Health and healthcare systems have acquired great importance in today’s era and based on theinfrastructure of the mobile communications systems, the healthcare system can provide improvised services. Referring to the possibility of using mobile communications systems in ECG/Respiration Monitoring, he stressed that low complexity low power wireless sensor node can be used to record the ECG signalsin a patient and continuous monitoring for a long time. Through mobile phone,existing 3G/WiFi network can be further used to send back the recorded ECG signals for further analysis, without any extra cost. This would help doctors have more options to provide medical services, thereby improving the healthcare sector in the country.
The two day International Conference aims to bring together Scientists,Academicians and Industrialists working in the field of Signal Processing and Integrated Networks to discuss new ideas and promote new ideas, results and techniques. Scientists and researchers from USA, UK, Germany, Canada, Spain, China, Australia,Bangladesh, New Zealand, France, Norway, Oman, South Africa, Czech Republic,Taiwan, Japan, Thailand, Austria, Finland, Denmark are presenting their technical papers.
Researchers and Scientists from the leading premier Institutions of the country including IIT Delhi, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Gauhati, IIT Roorkee, IIT Indore, IIT Ropar, IIIT Trichy, IIIT Chittor, IIIT Gwalior, IIIT Jabalpur, IIIT Allahabad, , Netaji Subhas Institute of TechnologyDelhi, DTU Delhi, Indian School of Mines Dhanbad, BITS Mesra,ThaparUniversity, VIT Vellore, Manipal University, Aligarh Muslim University besides from prestigious Research Centres like ISRO Satellite Centre, CSIR Labs, DRDO Labs, CDAC Noida, Dept.
