ABOUT THE INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY ROORKEE
The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Roorkee is the successor of the
University of Roorkee and is the oldest technical institution of the Indian subcontinent. It was established as the Roorkee College in 1847 and rechristened as
the Thomson College of Civil Engineering in 1854. Recognizing its yeoman
contribution for the development of the country for over 100 years, this temple of
learning was elevated to the status of a University, the first technical university in
India in 1949. The University of Roorkee was converted to IIT Roorkee by the
Government of India on September 21, 2001, thereby further elevating it to an
institute of national importance. Over the years, it has built up and maintained an
excellent academic reputation. The outstanding achievements of its alumni
especially in the field of water related subjects are a testimony to this. The IIT
Roorkee has academic departments in the area of Engineering, Sciences,
Architecture and Planning, Management studies and Humanities and Social
Sciences besides many centres of higher education and research.
ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT
PREAMBLE
The Electrical Engineering Department was part of the Thomson College
The application of computer has permeated in all aspects of electrical
of Engineering from the year 1897, one of the earliest such specialization in the
engineering practices and new avenues of such applications are being continually
world when the discipline itself was in its infancy. The first batch in Electrical
explored. The scientific and engineering community is devoting efforts to harness
Engineering passed out of the college in the year 1900. The department was closed
down in the year 1923, following the recommendation of a special committee that
the college may be converted to purely Civil Engineering Institution. This decision
was not to be reversed until on the eve of being converted into a University. The
the potential of computer assisted solutions to fascinating and challenging
problems of electrical engineering. An element of artificial intelligence is defining
new control strategies, unthinkable until recently, in all segments of this vital
branch of engineering enriching it with efficient, reliable, flexible and user friendly
solutions achievable with precision.
Fortescu committee advised the resumption of instructions in Electrical
Engineering and the present department of Electrical Engineering came into being
Starting from Generation, Transmission, Distribution and Utilization of
in 1946, and the first graduates of the new department were offered courses with
Electrical Engineering to different applications of the same, the use of computers,
options in both Electrical & Telecommunication Engineering. Subsequently in
both online and offline has become very popular. In order to keep pace with the
1964, the department was bifurcated to form the two departments i.e. Electrical
development of Computer Applications in Electrical Engineering, an International
Engineering and Electronics & Communication Engineering.
Conference helps in bringing people engaged in teaching, research and industries
The department is a recognized centre for under-graduate, postgraduate and Ph.D programmes. It is offering Ph.D. programme since 1964 and
more than 125 research scholars have been graduated so far. The Department is
very active in industry-institution interaction and is providing consultancy services
to the industry over the last 45 years. Number of prestigious sponsored and
consultancy projects for different organisations have also been completed by the
Department.
together to learn from each other and enhance their knowledge level as well. The
Department of Electrical Engineering, IIT Roorkee is more than hundred years old
and it has its trained graduates in almost all corners of India and abroad. In 1997, it
was thought to organize International Conference in the area of Computer
Applications in Electrical Engineering every four years with an aim to update the
teaching and research fraternity about the newer developments. The present
conference is the fifth in this series.
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'13 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'13 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.
Smart Grid Technologies and its applications
