First keynote address was delivered by Dr. Narayanan Menon Komerath,

Professor, Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering, Georgia

Institute of Technology, Atlanta on "Towards Indian Energy Independence".

Dr. Narayanan Menon Komerath, during his keynote speech

He addressed the need of development of micro energy system to meet the

energy struggle in the country and reduce the dependence on other countries for

energy. Extensive use of renewable energy is necessary to meet the crisis. All

people are not equally benefitted by macro type energy production. Micro

energy system produces energy not in large scale, but meets the demand of each

individual to some extent. He gave an insight to various Micro renewable

energy systems like solar energy, wind power, hydrogen production etc.

According to him, using hybrid power generating concepts in reality will give

proper solution for a problem rather than using a single technology.

11

Second keynote address was on the topic “Changing cities – challenges to urban

planning” by Dr. Padmavathi P.

Dr. Padmavathi speaks on the challenges to urban planning

She focused on the causes and consequences of urbanization. She told that

deforestation, ozone layer depletion, and global warming are some of the major

threats to environment due to urbanization. She added that Govt. of India has

established schemes like JNNURN, Smart city mission, AMRUT for the

development in India. The main consequences of urbanization were food

problems, flooding, loss of bio diversity, decrease in agricultural land, climate

change etc. She appealed to the emerging engineers to consider the environment

prior to development.

After the inaugural and keynote sessions, academic sessions were started in the

various departments. The departmental events consisted of expert lectures and

technical paper presentations inclusive of online presentations. The sessions

were chaired by faculty and experts in the respective disciplines from leading

Educational Institutions and Research Organizations and faculty of the host

institution.

The details are described under separate heads.

Day 1

Invited Talk on Integrated River Basin Management In Relation To Wise

Use of Wetlands

The events began with the invited talk on “ Integrated River Basin

Management In Relation To Wise Use of Wetlands " by Dr E J James, Former

Director, Centre for Water Resource Development and Management ,

Kozhikode at 1.30PM at Eastern Amphi of Govt Engineering College Thrissur.

Dr. E.J James speaks on Integrated River Basin Management

13

The talk was conducted in the Eastern Amphitheatre of Govt. Engg. College, Thrissur

Abstract of the talk

Wetlands are supposed to be the kidneys of earth as they perform the action of

cleaning earth. The main functions of wetland are, water conservation through

replenishment of ground water, controlling of water flow and prevention of

waste sedimentation by absorption. The benefits due to wetlands are not

confined to a particular locality but are wide spread due to accommodation of

flood water from faraway places. He also explained the need for conservation of

wetlands with respect to flood control, ecological balance and tourism aspects.

Through examples, he explained the importance of wetlands in Kerala,

Tamilnadu and northern states with regard to various aspects like hydrologic

yield and fresh water depletion. Proper considerations in location of dams,

downstream water flow etc were also explained with case studies. The speaker

shared his own experiences as expert committee in solving the problems related

to wetlands in various part of country.

Day 2

Invited Talk on Challenges in Structural Engineering

Dr N Gopalakrishnan, Chief scientist, Structural Engineering Research Centre

CSIR, Chennai delivered a talk on the topic "Challenges in Structural

Engineering" on 10/12/2016 at 1.30PM in the Eastern Amphi.

Dr. N Gopalakrishnan delivers a talk on 'Challenges in Structural Engineering'

Abstract of the Talk

Structural dynamics and Seismic design is gaining more and more importance

in view of frequent earthquake damages taking place in different parts of the

country and world. The major problem in seismic analysis is that propagated

waves during earthquake reach different supports of the structures at different

times. Simulation of seismic effects through experiments is very important for

detailed investigations. Various laboratory setups developed at Structural

Engineering Research Centre of CSIR Chennai to study the effect of earthquake

on structures were discussed in detail by the speaker. Pseudo dynamic facility

for inducing real seismic effect and analysis of simultaneous effect at different

17

locations of structure through integrated software was clearly explained. Liquid

tank experiment, push over test to get lateral force and displacement relation

were also presented. Application of smart materials like shape memory material

(Nickel Titanium Alloys) as dampers educes the effect of earthquake. Methods

to enhance safety of structures like vertical regularity, intermediate bands, use

of ground isolaters and the rehabilitation by way of retrofitting were also

covered in the talk.

PICC - 2015

Department of Electrical Engineering

As a part of ICETEST 2015, Department of Electrical Engineering organized

the Conference on Power, Instrumentation , Computing and Control (PICC

- 2015) from 9th

to 11th

of December 2015.

Day 1

Invited Talk on Development and Design Of Intelligent Sensors

PICC- 2015 started with an invited talk by Prof. G. Panda, FNAE, FNASc.,

FIET, School of Electrical Sciences , IIT Bhubaneswar on " Development and

design of Intelligent sensors".

Prof. G. Panda kick started the PICC with a talk on 'Development and design of Intelligent sensors’

44

Listeners to Prof G Panda

In his talk he stressed the vital role of sensors in agriculture, environmental

monitoring, disaster management, smart grid, healthcare and manufacturing.

This has been possible through sensor networks. However these sensors have

some associated problem such as linearity constraint which limits the

performance of these sensors. He suggested signal approach which will

alleviate these limitations. As a first step through adaptive identification

technique a sensor will be modeled by a nonlinear model to assess its level of

malfunctioning. Then linearization of the sensor will be carried out by

connecting an adaptive inverse model in series with a physical sensor. This will

enable the sensor to offer linear characteristics from zero to full range. During

the talk different artificial neural network based direct and inverse models were

discussed for various physical sensors. Simulation and experimental based

results were also presented. The talk dealt with many research issues in cutting

edge areas of intelligent sensors.

Institute of Science, Bangalore. The title of the speech was, “Speech Production

Research – Opportunities and Challenges”.

Invited talk by Dr. Prasanta Kumar Ghosh

The talk focused on recording of speech production process and the various

methods used for the process. Speech production process consists of listening

speech and seeing speech. The processes used for seeing speech are Ultrasound

which gives a one dimensional picture , Electropaletography, X-rays,

Electromagnetic articulography which records motion of the sensors placed on

articulators with synchronized speech , Real time magnetic Resonance Imaging

(MRI) which gives complete multidimensional view and has lower temporal

74

resolution , etc. The talk also focused on emotional speech synthesis and

emotion recognition. The talk revealed the inner complexities involved in

speech production research to inspire researchers.

“ Sparse Models and Algorithms for Image Processing‟ .

.

Dr. Kunal Narayan Chaudhary delivers a lecture on Sparse Models and Alogirthms for Image Processing

78

Audience listening to Dr. Kunal Narayan Chaudhary


Most natural signals such as speech, audio, and images have sparse

approximations. That is, they can be accurately described using a small number

of coefficients in some appropriate basis, e.g., the Fourier or wavelet basis. This

fact has classically been exploited for signal compression, namely, to convert

large image and video signals into substantially smaller formats like JPEG and

H.264 without compromising the data fidelity. Over time, it became gradually

evident that sparsity had relevance and utility beyond just compression. In

particular, it was realized that one could use sparsity (and allied notions) as

models for signal processing. Powerful algorithms based on these models were

proposed that led to state-of-the-art results in various signal processing

applications. The talk gave an introduction to various sparse models and

algorithms that are now used in image processing.

Urbanisation in an ultra-super-fast pace and copying modern cities of

international standard were explained stressing on the problems of depletion

of fresh water, depletion of ozone, global warming, climate change, natural

calamities etc. He stressed that the lack of values, traditions and culture,

ignoring the past and going behind the western style of planning and living has

made man loss his identity. He took the attention of the audience to the term

“Green Urbanism” – based on the triple-zero frameworks: zero fossil fuel

energy use, zero wastes and zero carbon emissions. The session ended with a

108

very fruitful insight put forward by the speaker into the bold relationship

which can be maintained by the man as a professional and the environment in

113

Audience at the invited talk

According to him planning was a public domain which was future oriented and

conditioned by the past and the present. He further added that the process of

planning was significant but more significant here was the team work involved.

He threw light to the present progress of planning towards a direction with the

least regard to the sociological factors involved. Dr.Razak elaborated on the

principles of governance, meaning of participatory governance and on the shift

from “government to the governance” and from “governance to e- governance”

scenario in India. The various other concepts like Green Houses, Green

neighborhoods, Social neighborhoods, and Disabled-friendly neighborhoods

were mentioned and left for thought among the audience throwing an insight for

a Coordinated Community Development. The session was concluded with a

relevant throwback to the ethical intervention of planning: “Plan for the people,

involving the people, with the people”
