Computing: Theory and Applications

by Indian Statistical Institute (Contributor)

Held in Kolkata, India, in March 2007, the International Conference on Theory and Applications was organized by the Computer and Communication Sciences Division of the Indian Statistical Institute on the occasion of the Institute's platinum jubilee. According to the conference organizers, the primary goal was to "present the state-of-the-art scientific results, encourage academic and industrial interaction, and promote collaborative research and developmental activities in computing--involving scientists, engineers, professionals, researchers, and students from India and abroad." The conference covered algorithms and architectures in sessions on parallel and distributed computing, mobile and wireless networks, VLSI design, high performance computing, architectures, and algorithms. It also discussed pattern recognition and soft computing in sessions devoted to artificial neural networks, fuzzy sets, support vector machines and clustering, data mining and soft computing, bio informatics, classification and prediction, and application in image analysis. Document, language, and signal processing were discussed in another track of sessions, and the final track explored image processing, computer vision, and graphics, with individual sessions dedicated to graphics, content based image retrieval, image processing, motion and three-dimensional vision, watermarking, biometrics, and remote sensing and image analysis. Including the keynote speech on oncological image analysis and the plenary and invited lectures accompanying each of the four tracks, 126 contributions are presented in all.
