The 86-year-old institution is proud to have Sir C.R.Reddy as its founder Vice-Chancellor, as the steps taken by this visionary proved to be fruitful in the long run. Former President of India Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan was one of its Vice-Chancellors who succeed Dr.C.R.Reddy in 1931. The leaders of the university always believed that excellence in higher education is the best investment for the country and engaged the services of famous educationists such as Dr.T.R. Seshadri, Dr.S. Bhagavantham, Prof. Hiren Mukherjee, Prof. Humayan Kabir and Dr. V.K.R.V. Rao, to mention a few who set high standards for teaching and research. Nobel Laureate Sir C.V. Raman was the proud alumnus of the University and closely associated in laying research foundations in Physics. Padmavibhushan Prof. C.R. Rao, the renowned statistician of the world, was also the distinguished alumnus of the University. About the Department : The Department of Electrical Engineering was started in 1955 as one of the three constituents of the Department of Engineering in Andhra University. The Department status was granted in 1969. The Department has grown significantly and gave birth to Dept. of ECE and Dept. of CS & SE in 1983.Currently offers a UG program in Electrical and Electronics Engineering and PG programs in Power Systems & Automation and Control Systems Engineering. Recently the department introduced a Five year integrated PG course in Electrical Engineering and an Evening PG programme on Power Electronics Drives and Control. The Department has well established conventional laboratories like Machines, Networks, Measurements, Power Electronics, Microprocessor, Control system and Digital Electronics. The Department hosted several workshops/refresher courses for practicing engineers in industry and academicians. The Department has undertaken several consultancy projects in collaboration with various central government and public sector organizations. The teaching faculty of the Department is involved in research activities in the areas of power electronics, control systems and power systems. The current focus of research is on neuro-fuzzy control and soft computing methods applied to power systems, also design of any class of smart machines and their contemporary control methodologies. Scope and Objective of the Conference The Department is organizing a series of such conferences annually. Contemporary Control in Electrical Engineering (ConCon-2014) will provide an excellent forum for sharing knowledge in theory, methodology and applications of control and concepts. The Conference looks for significant contributions to all major fields of the control engineering in theoretical and practical aspects. On such platform the researchers and practitioners from both academia as well as industry can meet and share cutting-edge development in the field. The major areas for the conference are: F F F F F F F F F Fuzzy Systems and Fuzzy Control Neural Networks and Neural Control Genetic Algorithms and Evolutionary Control Large Scale systems Intelligent Control Non-linear Control Sliding Mode Control Adaptive control Modeling and Simulation F F F F Power System Operation & Control Advanced Power systems Distribution Automation Soft computing applications in Power systems However the contributions are not necessarily restricted to these areas alone.
