IEEE iNIS 2017 - HARD SUBMISSION DEADLINE: August 15, 2017 - CFP - 5 Keynotes Confirmed

3rd IEEE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON NANOELECTRONIC AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS
December 18-20, 2017, Bhopal, India.
http://www.ieee-inis.org


The primary objective of IEEE-iNIS 2017 is to provide a platform for both hardware and software researchers to interact under one umbrella for further development of efficient and secure information processing technologies.
Efficient and secure data sensing, storage, and processing play pivotal roles in current information age.
The state-of-the-art nanoelectronic technology based hardware systems cater to the needs of efficient sensing,storage, and computing. At the same time, efficient algorithms and software used for faster analysis and retrieval of desired information are becoming increasingly important. Big data which are large, complex data sets,are now a part of the Internet world. Storing and processing needs of the enormous amount of structured and unstructured data are getting increasingly challenging. At the same time, Internet of Things (IoT) and cyber-physical systems (CPS) have been evolving with simultaneous development of hardware and software and span across everyday consumer electronics. The performance and efficiency of the present as well as the future generations of computing and information processing systems are largely dependent upon advances in both hardware and software.

iNIS 2017 is sponsored by IEEE-CS under TCVLSI. iNIS has been initiated as a sponsored
meeting of Technical Committee on VLSI, IEEE-CS (http://www.ieee-tcvlsi.org/)that endorses a league of successful meetings such as ASAP, ISVLSI, ARITH, etc.,which are now presented as "Sister Conferences" in the iNIS website.
iNIS brings together leading scientists and researchers from academia and industry.
