ACC- 2011 is organized by Rajagiri School of Engineering and Technology (RSET), a premier institution of higher learning in Kerala, India (http://www.rajagiritech.ac.in/) during July, 22-24, 2011 at Kochi, Kerala, India. The Campus is located on the banks of the river Chitrapuzha. It is 0.5 km from the Seaport - Airport Highway, 13 km from Ernakulam North Railway Station, and 27 km from the Nedumbassery International Airport. RSET is an endeavor of the Sacred Heart Province of the Carmelites of Mary Immaculate (CMI) - the first-ever indigenous religious congregation for men in the Syrian Catholic tradition of Christianity in India. 

Kochi (colonial name Cochin) is a vibrant city situated on the south-west coast of the Indian peninsula in the breathtakingly scenic and prosperous state of Kerala, hailed as 'God's Own Country' (http://www.cochin.org/cochin.htm, http://www.keralatourism.org/). Its strategic importance over the centuries is underlined by the sobriquet Queen of the Arabian Sea. Informally, Kochi is also referred to as the Gateway to Kerala. Southwest monsoon is the main rainy season in Kerala. This season begins by the end of May with the outset of the southwest monsoon winds. The next few months are periods of torrential rain.
