Information Technology has been one of the most encouraging research areas throughout the globe over the past two decades. With this thought, the Department of Computer Science & Engineering, ISM conducted two National Level Seminars on Recent Advances on Information Technology, namely “RAIT-2007” and “RAIT-2009” (sequel of RAIT-2007) in year 2007 and 2009 respectively. After the huge success of these two events, the department has decided to pull up RAIT series at global level to organize 1st International Conference on “Recent Advances in Information Technology (RAIT-2012)”.

The vision of the conference is to provide awareness about the recent advances in the Information and Communication technology, through tutorial, keynote addresses, invited talks and peer-reviewed research paper presentations. The conference will also serve as an excellent platform for all the participants to share their views and ideas. Another endeavor of this conference is to collate and present the latest development in IT/Computer along with realistic assessment of the current status and trends. RAIT-2012 is endorsed by the IEEE, IEEE Communication Society Calcutta Chapter, Computer Society of India (CSI), MIR Labs & INNS-India.
