Chairman’s Message
Sh. Ashok Pal, Chairman, Governing Council & Board of Governors, AKGEC, Ghaziabad, India
I am very glad to know that the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Ajay Kumar Garg Engineering College, Ghaziabad is going to organize 3rd IEEE International Advance Computing Conference (IACC-2013) on February 22-23, 2013. Our understanding, knowledge and learning capabilities grows through conversations about the content and through grounded interactions and engagement with others. With a variety of viewpoints we can improve our own ideas and processes. Conferences help to create a broad sense framework of possible solutions for our professional problems.
Patron’s Message
Dr. R. K. Agarwal, Patron, IACC-2013 & Director, AKGEC, Ghaziabad, India
It is a matter of immense pleasure that the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Ajay Kumar Garg Engineering College, Ghaziabad is organizing the 3rd IEEE International Advance Computing Conference (IACC-2013) on February 22-23, 2013. It is a well established fact that Information Processing in any form is essential for survival of all organisms. As the environment and the organisms become more complex their computational requirements grow. That is why computing is becoming extremely important for nearly all technologies involved in transhumanism. The most important and economically promising research frontiers in 21st century will be conquered by those, skilled with advance computing technologies. In the present scenario, Advance Computing has become a highly interdisciplinary, challenging, and thriving scientific domain of increasing importance and visibility in R&D and education.
General Chairs Message
Prof. B. M. Kalra, General Chair IACC-2013 & Head of the Department, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, AKGEC, Ghaziabad, India
The world is experiencing a revolutionary growth in the field of Information Technology (IT). Involvement of IT in each and every sphere of life has exponentially grown over a period of time thereby increasing the complexity and amount of computations required to be performed by the machine. It has thrown open a new field for the researchers, the field of Advance Computing. Computing has become very complex and to meet these complex computing needs has become a challenge for the researchers, which needs to be resolved. The 3rd IEEE International Advance Computing Conference (IACC-2013) is being organized as a small step towards this direction. The conference is being planned with the objective of bringing together researchers, developers, and practitioners from academia and industry working in the area of advance computing. The Conference is sponsored by IEEE Computer Society, India Council and IEEE Student Branch, AKGEC, Ghaziabad.
Keynote 1: Recent Advances in Parallel and Distributed Discrete Event Simulation
