Welcome message from IEEE Canada President
It is a pleasure to welcome all attendees to the 2011Canadian Conference on Electrical and ComputerEngineering (CCECE) being held in the sceniclocation of Niagara Falls, Ontario. CCECE is theflagship conference of IEEE Canada (IEEE Region7) and is held under its sponsorship. The origins ofCCECE can be traced back to 1988 when the firstconference was held in Vancouver. It has been heldannually since then in various parts of Canada withthe 2011 CCECE being the twenty fourth in theseries.The objectives of starting this conference were tofoster interaction and networking among theelectrical and computer engineering R&Dcommunity within Canada. Its continued successhas now led to a significant component of thepresentations and attendees coming from all parts
of the world. However, the original objectives of the conference have not changed.This is quite evident from the program that includes variety of plenary talks ontopics of current interest by leaders in their own technical areas from the industryand academia. The Technical Program Committee of CCECE has done a very good job with itsCall for Papers, review of papers and putting together an excellent technicalprogram that will be interesting and relevant to all attendees. Original technicalpapers and tutorials by experts on state-of-the-art topics cover the entire spectrum ofelectrical and computer engineering. The Technical Program Committee works hardto ensure that the presentations at the conference meet a high technical standard.One important part of CCECE is the Awards Ceremony where IEEE Canadarecognizes the achievements and special contributions of its members. Attending theawards ceremony will make you aware of the great work being done within Canadaand give you the opportunity to congratulate the winners. The organization of 2011CCECE is a joint effort between all six Sections of the Central Canada Area of IEEECanada. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the Central CanadaArea and all six Sections for coming together in this joint effort, and also membersof the Local Organizing Committee for their efforts in organizing the conference. Iwould also like to thank the plenary speakers, tutorial presenters and all authors whosubmitted their work for presentation at 2011 CCECE as without their contributionsthere will be no CCECE. Niagara Falls is known around the world for its beauty. Iwelcome all attendees to Niagara Falls and hope that you all will have a wonderfultime both at the conference and in exploring Niagara Falls, also known as thehoneymoon capital.

Technical Program Chairs' Overview On behalf of the Technical Program Committee (TPC), we would like to welcome the
delegates and their guests to the 24th annual Canadian Conference on Electrical and ComputerEngineering (CCECE).
In a sustained effort to create the best forum for the Canadian ECE community, theCCECE 2011 inherited from previous years` the vigorous review process for all its technicaltrack submissions. The conference consists of a symposium structure. Each of the sevensymposia provides a technical focus for papers in related fields. Significant energy has beendevoted to a thorough and diligent review process by experts in matching technical areas,averaging 2.6 reviews per article. We hope this structure will continue to provide a sense ofcommunity for the various research areas within the conference as a whole.
CCECE 2011 drew 434 full-paper submissions from 35 different countries around theworld. The submissions were sent to the members of the TPC and to the over 100 additionalreviewers for review. The chairs would like to thank the symposium chairs, TPC members andthe reviewers for their hard work and dedication. Time and space limitations did not allow us toinclude many fine technical submissions to the program. The CCECE 2011 Technical Programincludes 287 oral and 48 poster presentations, totalling an acceptance rate of 77%.
Accepted papers can be broken down among the seven symposia as follows: Biomedical and Health Informatics (16), Circuits, Devices & Systems (48), Communications& Networks (63), Computer Systems & Applications (37), Control & Robotics (25),Engineered and Natural Complex Systems (11), Power Electronics and Systems (72) Signal &Multimedia Processing (40), all to be presented in oral sessions. 6 parallel oral sessions spanthe morning, afternoon and evening slots, with about five or more presentations in eachsession. The oral sessions follow the symposium structure where each symposium has adesignated room where possible. The poster session coincidences with the job fair andsponsorship exhibits to maximize interaction between different sectors of the Canadianengineer community.
Workshops are an integral part of CCECE and Xavier Fernando, the Tutorials andWorkshops Chair, has prepared an excellent program for CCECE 2011. Six tutorials have beenselected for presentation on Sunday, May 8, 2011. Three workshops have been organized totake place on Sunday, May 8, 2011, and Monday, May 9, 2011.
Finally, we would like to express our deep appreciation for the support received fromWai Tung Ng, the CCECE 2011 Conference Chair, the IEEE Canada Conference AdvisoryCommittee (CONAC), and IEEE Canada.
We look forward to welcoming you in the Niagara Falls. We hope that you will enjoy
the conference and find the Technical Program exciting.
