Average elevation: 268 meters above the mean sea level) is situated in south of

lower Himalayan range and is in Haridwar District of the northern Indian state of

Uttarakhand. It is located about 30 km from Haridwar and 180 km north from the

national capital, New Delhi and considered to be the gateway to pilgrimage

centres/ hill stations of many renowned places like Haridwar, Rishikesh,

Mussoorie, Badrinath and Kedarnath. Roorkee is well connected by roads and

trains and falls on Dehradun-Saharnpur rail link. There are frequent bus services

from Inter-State Bus Terminus (ISBT, Anand Vihar), New Delhi and two superfast

trains Shatabdi Express and Janshatabdi Express runs between New Delhi and

Dehradun with a halt at Roorkee. The nearest International Airport is New Delhi

and the Domestic Airport is Dehradun (70 kms). The weather during October in

Roorkee remains pleasant.

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 sub-

continent. 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.

Roorkee town (Longitude: E770 53' 52” and latitude: N290 52' 00”. The Electrical Engineering Department was part of the Thomson College

of Engineering from the year 1897, one of the earliest such specialization in the

world when the discipline itself was in its infancy. The first batch in Electrical

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

Fortescu committee advised the resumption of instructions in Electrical

Engineering and the present department of Electrical Engineering came into being

in 1946, and the first graduates of the new department were offered courses with

options in both Electrical & Telecommunication Engineering. Subsequently in

1964, the department was bifurcated to form the two departments i.e. Electrical

Engineering and Electronics & Communication Engineering.

The department is a recognized centre for under-graduate, post-

graduate 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.

The application of computer has permeated in all aspects of electrical

engineering practices and new avenues of such applications are being continually

explored. The scientific and engineering community is devoting efforts to harness

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.

Starting from Generation, Transmission, Distribution and Utilization of

Electrical Engineering to different applications of the same, the use of computers,

both online and offline has become very popular. In order to keep pace with the

development of Computer Applications in Electrical Engineering, an International

Conference helps in bringing people engaged in teaching, research and industries

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.

ABOUT ROORKEE ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT PREAMBLE

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

2. Distribution System Automation and Reforms

3. Digital Protection and SCADA

4. Design, Operation and Condition Monitoring of Power

Apparatus

5. Intelligent and Virtual Instrumentation

6. Distributed Electronic Measurements

7. Digital Signal and Image Processing

8. Digital Control, Automation and Robotics

9. Flexible AC Transmission System

10. Power Electronics

11. Power Quality Issues

12. Power System Restructuring and Deregulation

13. Power Semiconductor Controlled Electric Drives

14. Renewable Energy Systems

15. System Modeling and Simulation

16. Telemedicine and Bio-informations

17. Medical Instrumentation

18. Digital System Design

19. Medical Signal and Image Processing
