Proceedings of The International Conference on Inter Disciplinary Research in Engineering and Technology 2015


Book Description

Welcome to the International Conference on Inter Disciplinary Research in Engineering and Technology (ICIDRET) 2015 in DSIIDC, Government of NCT, New Delhi, India, Asia on 29 – 30 April, 2015. If this is your first time to New Delhi, you need to look on more objects which you could never forget in your lifetime. There is much to see and experience at The National Capital of Republic of India. The concept of Inter Disciplinary research was a topic of focus by various departments across the Engineering and Technology area. Flushing with major areas, this ICIDRET ’15 has addressed the E&T areas like Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Bio-Technology, Bio-Engineering, Bio-Medical, Computer Science, Electronics & Communication Engineering, Management and Textile Engineering. This focus has brought a new insight on the learning methodologies and the terminology of accepting the cross definition of engineering and the research into it. We invite you to join us in this inspiring conversation. I am pretty sure that this conference would indulge the information from the various parts of the world and could coin as a global research gathering. With more and more researchers coming into ICIDRET, this event would be as an annual event. This conference is sure that, this edition and the future edition will serve as a wise platform for the people to come with better research methodologies integrating each and every social component globally. If there would have been a thought of not integrating the RJ45 and few pieces of metal / plastic along with a PCB, today we could haven’t used the telephones and mobile phones. With an ear-mark inspiration and constant support from the Global President Dr. S. Prithiv Rajan, ASDF International President Dr. P. Anbuoli, this publication stands in front of your eyes, without them this would haven’t been possible in a very shortest span. Finally, I thank my family, friends, students and colleagues for their constant encouragement and support for making this type of conference. -- Kokula Krishna Hari K Editor-in-Chief www.kokulakrishnaharik.in

Book Description

The conference on ‘Interdisciplinary Research in Technology and Management” was a bold experiment in deviating from the traditional approach of conferences which focus on a specific topic or theme. By attempting to bring diverse inter-related topics on a common platform, the conference has sought to answer a long felt need and give a fillip to interdisciplinary research not only within the technology domain but across domains in the management field as well. The spectrum of topics covered in the research papers is too wide to be singled out for specific mention but it is noteworthy that these papers addressed many important and relevant concerns of the day.
