It is our pleasure to welcome you to the twenty fifth edition of the National Conference on Communications (NCC). NCC is now widely acknowledged to be a premier conference in India covering the fields of signal processing, communications, and networks. It is run by the Joint Telematics Group comprising Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and IISc.
NCC 2019 is very special since it is the Silver Jubilee edition of the conference. It is a great milestone for the conference to have run continuously and successfully for 25 years. This is a tribute to the vision of the faculty who founded this conference and to all those who conducted it all these years. To commemorate this historic occasion, we have put together a special “Silver Jubilee Reminiscences” event. It will be held on February 22 evening. A web page to commemorate this has also been set up – it features thoughts and comments from eminent researchers from India and abroad who have participated in NCC. Do look around the conference for surprise banners and other items related to this.
In this year’s edition of NCC, we have come up with a program that blends high-quality contributed papers with invited talks, tutorials on cutting-edge topics by both academia and industry, and plenary talks by eminent researchers. NCC 2019 will feature three plenary talks, two industry keynotes, and five tutorials. Our goal has been to expose our participants from academia and industry to world-class, cutting-edge research and development.
We have also introduced a new Graduate Students Day event, in which several selected senior PhD students will present a short summary of their research work. This event will be held on February 21 afternoon. We hope that this will be appealing to students, faculty, and prospective employers. NCC 2019 will also feature cutting-edge demos from the 5G testbed project that is funded by the Department of Telecommunications and is a joint effort of several IITs, IISc, and SAMEER.
The plenary talks and industry keynotes will be held in the spacious and historic faculty hall in the main building of IISc. All other events will take place in the ECE department. We welcome you to check out our airy and bright new building in ECE. The recently inaugurated new lecture halls in this building will host several sessions and tutorials of NCC 2019. We hope you will enjoy the serene and green ambience of the ECE department. The conference proceedings will be available via download from the internet. The proceedings will also be accessible via IEEEXplore. In addition, three best paper awards and two best graduate student day talks have been instituted.
The success of NCC is due to the untiring efforts of its organizing committee and the army of volunteers from among the students and staff at IISc. We sincerely thank all the committee members for doing a wonderful job in putting together this major conference and ensuring that it runs smoothly. We thank the technical program committee for burning the midnight oil and putting together an exciting technical program.
Finally, we extend our thanks to the sponsors whose financial contributions made this conference possible. These sponsors will be exhibiting their cutting-edge products in their respective booths, and we encourage you to visit them.
We invite you to participate in and thoroughly enjoy NCC 2019.
Sincerely,
Neelesh B. Mehta and A. Chockalingam
