Preface
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Multi-topic
Conference, IMTIC 2013. The conference theme was “Communication Technologies,
Information Security and Sustainable Development.” IMTIC 2013 provided an
opportunityfornationalandinternationalresearchersandpractitionerstopresentstate-
of-the-art results and future challenges in the fields of information communication
technologies along with security-related issues and their contributions toward sus-
tainable development.
IMTIC 2013 received more than 140 submissions. All submitted papers went
througharigorousreviewprocesswitheachpaperreceivingatleastthreereviews.The
review process included several stages including TPC member reviews, an online
discussionamong thereviewers,TPClead summaryrecommendations,andadditional
reviews (as needed). Based on the TPC recommendations, we accepted a total of 27
papers for publication and presentation at IMTIC 2013. This represents an acceptance
rate of 21.42 %.
With so many papers to choose from, providing a conference program with a high
level of technical excellence became a task that was challenging and time-consuming,
but ultimately a very rewarding one with the efforts of the Technical Program Com-
mittee (TPC). The TPC focused on two aspects while selecting the technical papers:
first, to provide a forum for researchers from all over the world and, specifically,
Pakistan to present and discuss their research results in the relevant areas covered by
theconference;second,tomaintainthehighesttechnicalstandardforacceptedpapers.
The conference program was structured with two parallel-track sessions for the pre-
sentationofpapers,aPhDsymposiumandapostersession.Thetopicspresentedhada
reasonable balance between theory and practice in multidisciplinary topics including
wireless sensor networks, could computing, wireless communication, antenna design,
signal processing, software engineering, image processing, bioinformatics and tele-
medicine, neural networks, automation and control, and green renewable energy. The
programalsoincludedeightkeynotespeechesbyrenownedexpertsinthefieldandfive
parallel thematic tutorials.
This event would not have been possible without the enthusiasm and hard work of
numerous colleagues. We express our gratitude to the General Chairs, for their assis-
tancethroughouttheprocess,andtheSteeringCommitteemembersfortheirsupportive
guidance. We also thank all the other members of the organizing committees for
thefruitfulcooperation.AspecialvoteofthanksgoestotheTPCmembers,andallthe

referees, for their invaluable help in reviewing the papers. We acknowledge all the

IMTIC 2013. Last but not least, we thank all the participants for attending the con-
ference. We sincerely hope that you enjoyed IMTIC 2013.
