The technical programme of the conference will consist of keynote addresses and technical paper presentations. Papers are invited from all prospective authors. The authors are requested to submit an abstract of not more than 500 words within the deadline. The abstract should include the corresponding author’s affiliation, address, telephone, fax, email id and other contact information Full length papers submitted based on the abstract acceptance will be once again peer reviewed by the Technical Committee and then selected for oral presentation
