Message from Chairman

Dr. N. R. ALAMELU

Esteemed Members,

Greetings,

I feel very happy that the student branches in all the institutions are becoming more active and

dynamic. The number of proposals requesting for the technical and financial support of IEEE for

conducting National and International conferences are also on the increase. IEEE as an

international professional body would be very happy to support all such focused initiatives.

However I only would like to submit the request to the organizers of such conferences to be quite

sure about the quality of the papers in terms of the originality of the contents. This I am writing

with a heavy heart that we do come across a few occasional instances of plagiarism.

I would request all the organizers to meticulously scrutinize to ensure quality of the papers

accepted and presented in such conferences to have technical conferences in its true spirit. This

intern will definitely improve the research culture with all the stakeholders and IEEE as a

professional body will always strive towards excellence in all these activities.

I congratulate the organizers of such conferences and request good number of members to attend

these conferences as delegates and as authors for better learning and exposure.

BEST WISHES

Your Affectionate Office Bearer

I am happy to write editorial for the October issue. I have received some complaints about the

publication of activities. The probelm with the publication of activities is the limited space.

The file contains photographs and it occupies more memory. Some branches are sending

activities conducted from the beginning of the year. It is very difficult to include all the activities

in a single issue. However I taking all efforts to publish all the actvities reported. I have

decided to publish the activities conducted in the month of the issue. If the activities are

reported after the current month, the activities will be published depending on the space

available. I request all the members to report the actibity conduced within the month of

conduction. Any complaint regarding the publication will be entertained and the individual reply

will be given to the sender within a reasonale time. This month issue is divided into two parts

and published.

OCTOBER 2014. The Semainr was inaugurated by the Chief Guest Mr. Gaurav Purohit, Senior

Research Fellow, BITS, PILANI.Dr.N.R.Alamelu, The Principal delivered the presidential

address and Dr.M.Jagadeeswari, Head of the department welcomed the gathering. The

programme was co-ordinated by Prof. C.S.Manikandababu, Assistant Professor.The objective of

the seminar is to enable the students to have knowledge in HDL verification on Xilinx FPGA

boards by enabling FPGA-in-the-loop (FIL) testing. FIL testing helps ensure that the MATLAB

algorithm or Simulink design behaves as expected in the real world, increasing the confidence in

FPGA implementation. The seminar provided a practical experience to the students on the

MATLAB algorithm or Simulink model that is used to drive FPGA input stimuli, analyze the

output of the FPGA in real-time and verify the designs at high speed.
