IEEE 2nd International Conference on Condition Assessment Techniques in Electrical
Systems (IEEE CATCON 2015) [IEEE Conference No. 36599] is technically cosponsored by IEEE Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation Society (DEIS) and IEEE
Bangalore Section and is organized by Central Power Research Institute, Bangalore, in
collaboration with DEI Society Chapter of IEEE Kolkata Section. It will be held from
December 10 to 12, 2015, in Central Power Research Institute, Bangalore, India.
This conference is going to be organized for the second time, which is in line with the
present day requirements in the global scenario of various condition assessment techniques
for a variety of electrical systems. Its goal is to provide a broad coverage and dissemination
of fundamental research in condition monitoring and assessment among researchers,
academics, industry and practitioners.
The technical program of IEEE CATCON 2015 will consist of tutorials, invited talks,
posters, and oral presentations. Research papers describing original work on theories,
methodologies, abstractions, algorithms, industry applications and case studies are invited.
IEEE CATCON 2015 will consider full papers within the scope of the conference for
review.
The topics include but are not limited to:
Track 1: (Condition Assessment of Electrical Equipment) Condition monitoring of
solid, liquid, gas and composite Insulation in electrical equipment using time-domain and
frequency-domain techniques, dielectric ageing mechanisms and their assessment, nanodielectrics, noise and vibro-acoustic analysis, on-line and real-time condition monitoring,
thermography, climate and other environment related issues.
Track 2: (Condition Assessment of Intricate Electrical Systems) Strategic planning and
asset management, complex interconnected and interdependent systems of systems (SoS),
Gas Insulated Systems (GIS), DC insulation systems, issues related to Smart Grid and
Industry applications.
Track 3: (Condition Assessment of Bioengineering Systems) Sensors & actuator
development, methods of assessment of bioengineering and bioelectric systems,
experimentations and analysis of bio-medical systems, applicability in biometrics and
biodielectrics and nano-biosystems.
Track 4: (Advanced Signal Processing Tools and Computational Algorithms in
Condition Assessment) Signal and image processing methods and algorithms, condition
assessment as a classification and pattern recognition problem, applicability of soft
computing tools, expert systems and data mining.
Accepted full papers will be published in the proceedings. The conference is participatory
and at least one author of each accepted paper has to register to present the paper (either
oral or poster).
Only presented papers will be included in IEEEXplore Digital Library.
Detailed instructions for preparation, submission of paper and all conference related
information can be found at www.catcon2015.org.
