FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS

ObCom 2011 International Conference

On
Recent trends in Computing, Communication and
Information Technologies
9th -11th December 2011
Pre-conference tutorials and workshop on 8th December 2011

This International Conference is a major event to be conducted following the grand

success of series of ObCom conferences during 2003, 2004 and 2006, which were audited by
a good number of participants from Academia and Industry across the World. The past
ObCom conferences received good contributions from academia, industry and research
organizations. Our sponsors included governmental and non-governmental agencies like
DRDO, ISTE, DIT, CSIR etc.
Information and Communication Technologies are critical to India’s future and to
realize the Vision 2020 especially in the socially relevant and strategically important sectors
such as education, healthcare, agriculture, law-enforcement & security and to modernize
sectors of public interest such as energy, transport and environment.
In pursuant to the above, VIT University has been keeping pace with emerging technologies
of modern times, which stimulate scholarly research and debate in many disciplines. The
objects/components- based development is one such aspect which has paved a way to design
and develop market-driven information and communication technologies, systems and
products. Foreseeing importance and impact of above, the VIT University has been
organizing ObCom series of conferences since the year 2003 which received overwhelming
response from academia and industry.
Authors are invited to submit full papers presenting new research related to the theory
or practice of recent trends in Computing, Communication and Information Technologies
through EasyChair Conference Management System through the following link.
