National Conference on Virtual and Intelligent Instrumentation
November 13-14, 2009
BITS, Pilani - 333031 (Rajasthan) India

NCVII-09

Easy and low cost availability of powerful PCs, microprocessors, microcontrollers and DSP processors have accelerated the emergence of virtual and intelligent instrumentation with wide range of applications. They encourage a synergistic combination including computational capability, electronics and controls, information, and artificial intelligence. Virtual instruments use graphical programming software like LabVIEW; de facto academic and industry standard, to create user-defined solutions that meet specific needs - very different from the proprietary, fixed functionality of traditional instruments. Intelligent instruments use powerful computational capability of processors to perform multi and varied functions involving monitoring, evaluating, decision making, and controlling operations. Leveraging these and other commercial technologies, virtual and intelligent instrumentation has enhanced the performance of electronics and instrumentation systems.

NCVII-09 aims at bringing together experts from academia, R&D organizations, and industry in the fields of virtual and intelligent instrumentation, and allied fields to a common platform. It would give an opportunity to the participants to network with peer group and leaders in the field.

Conference Theme

The conference would discuss current and emerging trends in the field of virtual and intelligent instrumentation, and their applications. The conference includes keynote address, plenary and invited talks. The application areas covered would include but not limited to:

• Automated test and measurement
• Industrial process control and automation
• Sensor technology and wireless sensor networks
• VLSI & embedded systems
• Communication, speech and image processing
• System modeling and controls
• Robotics & Mechatronics
• Bio-medical instrumentation
