The prestigious fourth International Conference on Aerospace Science & Engineering (ICASE) organised by Institute of Space Technology, commenced at their main campus here on Wednesday. The three-day conference will continue till September 4, 2015.
ICASE 2015 is a regular biennial event and an international forum in which scientists, engineers, researchers, professionals and students from all over the world get a chance to interact and discuss the latest themes and trends related with aerospace science and engineering. It provides a platform to share experiences, foster collaborations across industry and academia, and to evaluate emerging aerospace technologies and developments across the globe.
The success of the first three conferences in 2009, 2011 and 2013 has earned ICASE a high standing in the domains of high performance aerospace materials, space communication techniques, control and guidance systems, design and construction of space systems and structures. These conferences provided an ideal opportunity for exchange of information amongst scientists, engineers and researchers from all across the globe.
ICASE 2015 features a diverse blend of thematic areas including Aerospace and Avionics, Satellite Design Development and Security, Mechanical Engineering for Aerospace Applications, Aerospace Materials Design and Engineering, Satellite Communication and Image Processing, Global Navigation Satellite Systems, Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Science, Astronomy and Astrophysics, Information Technology and Cyber Security, Space Technology Awareness and Society.
A total of 110 papers will be presented in the conference while 30 poster presentations will be held. There will be 20 technical sessions during the conference covering the different themes and track related with aerospace science and engineering. In addition to that, there will be 15 panel discussions, tutorials and workshops sessions in connection with conference themes. A galaxy of 30 national and International invited speakers will share their research accomplishments with the academicians, researchers and students from all over Pakistan.
The conference started off with the plenary sessions including distinguished national and international speakers followed by different technical sessions. Dr. Najam Abbas, the secretary of the conference, welcomed the participants and shared ICASE 2015 highlights.
