Intelligent Computing Techniques and Applications

This Taylor & Francis, CRC Press volume contains the papers presented at the International Conference on Emerging Trends in Intelligent Computing Techniques (ICETICT – 2024) held during 27th and 28th December 2024 organized by DRIEMS University, Tangi, Cuttack, Odisha, India. A lot of challenges at us and no words of appreciation is enough for the organizing committee who could still pull it off successfully. The conference draws the excellent technical keynote talk and many papers. The keynote talks by Prof. Sanjeevikumar Padmanaban, University of South-Eastern Norway and Prof. Bidyadhar Subudhi, Director, NIT, Warangal are worth mentioning. We are grateful to all the speakers for accepting our invitation and sparing their time to deliver the talks.
