IBCAST is the largest Scientific event of Pakistan. The Conference consists of six activities which are:

1) Computational Fluid Dynamics:

The 6th IBCAST will provide an opportunity to the local and foreign researchers to exchange their ideas, discuss their queries and problems in this specific field with the experts and to explore the following areas:

Fluid Structure interactions

Turbulence Modelling

Aerodynamics

Gas Dynamics

Hydrodynamics

Industrial and Environmental Fluid Dynamics

2)Control & Simulation

Control engineering is the science of manipulating engineering systems for optimal performance in real-operating environments. Control engineers are concerned with mathematical modeling, simulation, design and implementation. Simulation techniques have matured into becoming an indispensable part of the engineering design process and have helped application of innovative control algorithms in industry.

3) Wireless Communication & Radar

The field of Wireless Communication & Radars is undergoing breathtaking advancements. This has become possible as a result of continuous improvements in electronics & RF circuits, and faster digital signal processing. The replacement of traditional analog circuits with configurable digital electronics and software has made the concepts of Software Radio and Software Radar practical. Topics include: topics that include (but not limited to):

• Mobile Communication • Radar Systems • Antenna Design/Digital Signal Processing of Phased Array Antennas • RF Devices & Circuits • Radio & Radar Signal Processing • Software Radio

4) Advanced Materials

The demands of newer applications of materials have expanded the scope of search for novel materials. The major fields of research in the man-made advanced materials, in general, are alloys, ceramics, and composite materials. Although research in alloys and ceramics has played a major role in advanced materials development (and are included in the scope of activity) but the impetus on the advent of composite materials has proved to be enormous and is playing a pivotal role in advanced materials applications. Thus, the scope of the activity on advanced materials will predominantly include the composite materials and their peripheral fields. The advancements in the field of Nano-Technology have further enhanced the scope of composites, so Nano-Technology and related areas have been included in the scope.

5) Underwater Acoustics

The application of UW Acoustics Technology in economic activities for search and location of mineral and other resources at sub-surface and below sea bed. In order to appreciate and contribute to this important field, IBCAST has planned a full day activity on this topic.

6)Medical Science

In the forthcoming IBCAST conference, speakers from foreign countries and Pakistan will share their experiences. Following topics will be discussed.

• Recent advances in the management of burns • Skin culture and skin banking • Stem cell culture, use of bone marrow stem cells in the treatment of heart diseases • Indigenous manufacturing of cardiac stents
