2015 Twenty First National Conference on Communications (NCC) (NCC 2015)

We are glad to announce that the Twenty First edition of the National Conference on Communication (NCC-2015) will be held at IIT Bombay from 27 February to 1 March, 2015 . The conference is technically co-sponsored by IEEE ComSoc. In addition to the main technical program, NCC-2015 will host five distinguished plenary talks, along with co-located symposia, tutorials and other invited talks by eminent researchers from around the world. We are also pleased to announce a special event, NI 5G round-table, organized by our platinum sponsor, National Instruments. The conference consists primarily of three tracks in the areas of communication, signal processing and networking (Submission Deadline: 29 October 2014). The conference is well attended by researchers from academia, industry, and research labs. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the conference proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore as well as other abstracting and indexing databases. Over the years, NCC has assumed significance as the venue of choice for researchers from all facets of the communication field, be it academia, industry or research labs, to exchange their ideas, foster collaboration, and cover new grounds. The quality of published manuscripts gives us every reason to smile about the positive impact NCC is having in driving the growth of communications research in India. For example, in certain areas, the submissions we get are as good as the flagship conferences in the field. It is heartening to see that it is not only IITs and IISc, but the national institutes and others are also finding a place in our best-paper awards list. In order to facilitate wide participation from the student community, we gladly announce the institution of 40 National Instruments Travel Fellowships to be awarded to deserving students. We, at IIT Bombay, will strive to uphold the tradition of NCC, and make the 2015 edition a memorable one. We welcome your active participation, and enjoy our hospitality during the event. A picturesque campus, friendly staff/people, and some occassional `wild counterparts', the place to be!
