Matlab Expo 2013 concludes in Bangalore

BENGALURU, INDIA: MATLAB EXPO, the annual user conference hosted by MathWorks, developer of mathematical computing software, concluded today in Bengaluru.

MATLAB EXPO is in its fourth year in India and was attended by over 700 engineers, scientists, and MATLAB and Simulink enthusiasts from across various industry verticals, said MathWorks in a press release.

Mariasundaram Antony, India engineering leader, GE Energy Management and engineering site leader for GE Hyderabad Technology Center delivered the customer keynote entitled, 'Simulation: A Key Design Aid in the Energy Industry'.

He said: "It is a design challenge to simulate complex power systems involving coal, gas, and renewables - all of which vary in their ability to deliver continuous power. The ability to predict the reliability and availability of the total power system is crucial when different forms of energy coexist in the grid."

Delivering his keynote address on 'Embracing Complexity', Jim Tung, MathWorks Fellow said, "We see the growing demand for superior technologies in all spheres of life. Smart phones, intelligent vehicles, intelligent medical devices and other similar high-tech devices are an integral part of the human world today."

"With MATLAB and Simulink, they are able to create and adopt new ways to master the development of complex systems and the analysis of complex phenomena," he added.

The conference featured parallel tracks where technical experts from MathWorks discussed the capabilities of MATLAB and Simulink and shared information on product updates.

Kishore Rao, MD, MathWorks India, said, "The diverse set of industries represented in the event such as Automotive, Aerospace and Defence, Industrial Automation and Machinery (IA&M), Energy, Medical Devices, Communications, Electronics and Semiconductors (CES), Finance and many more, is testimony to the wide applicability of MathWorks tools and technologies."

"My appreciation goes to all our Indian customers and partners for continuing to push the boundaries of technological innovation with MathWorks products and solutions," added Rao.
