The IEEE Mangalore Sub-Section (R0011901) is hosting Second International Conference on Distributed Computing, VLSI, Electrical Circuits and Robotics (DISCOVER 2018). The conference will be held in the serene premises of Mangalore Institute of Technology and Engineering (MITE), near Moodabidri, in the coastal region of Mangalore. Being the second international event under IEEE Mangalore Sub-Section, DISCOVER 2018 intends to attract people working in diverse fields: Distributed Computing, Software Engineering, VLSI, Verification, Communication Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Circuits, and Robotics. The conference is designed to create a platform for researchers from academia and industry, practicing engineers, and students. A series of keynote presentations, technical paper and poster presentations are planned to foster vigorous exchange of research findings and ideas among the participants. Accepted and presented papers of DISCOVER 2018 will be published in IEEE Xplore® Digital Library (Conference Id: 43909) through the IEEE Conference Publications Program (CPP).
