Introduction

The Fourth National conference on Information Sciences (NCIS-2012) will be held during April  27th -28th, 2012 at Manipal Centre for Information Science (MCIS), Manipal, Karnataka, India. The institute is a state of the art of excellence, industry driven in the field of Health Care IT, VLSI, Embedded Systems, Wireless Technology.

MCIS was set up in the year 1998. The institute has been continuously striving for excellence in education and research with a mission of offering value based education. At MCIS, we create a vibrant atmosphere where the creativity and discipline strike balance. MCIS has been conducting Post Graduate courses in the highly specialized areas like Medical Software, VLSI Design, Embedded System Design, Mobile Computing, Virtualization, High Performance Computing and IT Management. All courses at MCIS has strong association with the industries like GE Medical Systems, Cerner, Synopsys, Philips, Whizchip, NXP Semiconductors, Manipal Dot Net and many more.
