This volume contains selected papers presented at the 10th International Conference on Advanced Computing and Communication Technologies (10th ICACCT 2016), technically sponsored by Institution of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineers (India), held during 18 – 20 November 2016 at Asia Pacific Institute of Information Technology, Panipat, India.
The volume reports latest research on a wide range of topics spanning theory, system, applications and case studies in the fields of computing and communication technologies. Topics covered are robotics, computational intelligence encompassing fuzzy logic, neural networks, GA and evolutionary computing, applications, knowledge representation, data encryption, distributed computing, data analytics and visualization, knowledge representation, wireless sensor networks, MEM sensor design, analog circuit, statistical machine translation, cellular automata and antenna design. The volume has 31 chapters, including an invited paper on swarm robotics, grouped into three parts, viz., Advanced Computing, Communication Technologies, and Micro Electronics and Antenna Design.
The volume is directed to researchers and practitioners aspiring to solve practical issues, particularly applications of the theories of computational intelligence, using recent advances in computing and communication technologies.
Ramesh K. Choudhary, Former Director, Asia Pacific Institute of Information Technology, Panipat, obtained Ph.D. from VMU, Salem, has co-authored ‘Testing of Fault Tolerance Techniques’ published by Lambert Academic Publishing, Germany. He was the Indian Coordinator, Featured EUrope and South Asia MObility Network (FUSION), an ERUSMUS MUNDUS (EU) project to foster partnerships of emerging Asian countries with the EU countries reinforcing the existing collaborations developed through the EU funded projects. He had also significantly contributed to the EU-ASIA mutual recognition of studies in engineering, management and informatics. He is Fellow of Institution of Engineers (India), IETE, and Members of IEEE, ACM, and Chinese Association for Artificial Intelligence.

His areas of research include coding theory, data and network security, remote sensing and GIS-based applications, data compression, error correction, visual cryptography and steganography, distributed and shared memory parallel programming. He is Fellow of Institution of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineers, and Members of IEEE, ACM, and Computer Society of India.
Dhananjay Bhattacharyya, Head Computer Sciences Division, Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics, Calcutta, India, obtained Ph.D. from Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore; Post-doctoral Fellow from National Institutes of Health, Bethseda, Maryland, USA. Dr. Bhattacharyya’s research interest is in understanding structure-function relationship of biological macromolecules, particularly nucleic acids. In this context, he utilizes available crystallographic data to carry out molecular dynamics simulation and ab initio quantum chemical calculations to understand structural stabilization of nucleic acid bases and recognition of nucleic acid by other ligands. In order to understand different structural features of nucleic acids, the CS division at Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics have developed few software tools under his guidance, such as NUPARM, BPFIND, PyrHB Find, etc. Using some of these tools, the CS division have classified structures of different non-canonical base pairs appearing in RNA crystal structures. Dr. Bhattacharyya has successfully guided several doctoral candidates on computational biology and bioinformatics.
