The International Conference on Advances in Information and Communication Te- nologies, ICT, is organized every year with the aim of promoting research and dev- opmental activities in computer science, information technology, computational en- neering, and communication. Another goal is to promote scientific information int- change between researchers, developers, engineers, students, and practitioners wo- ing in India and abroad. The conference provides an ideal platform for people to share views and experiences in information technology, telecommunication, computing techniques and related areas. ICT 2010 was organized by the Association of Computer Electronics and Electrical Engineers (ACEEE), during September 7 9, 2010 in Kochi, Kerala, India. This volume contains 124 papers selected through a rigorous reviewing process. The contributions reflect the richness of research on topics within the scope of the conference and represent several important developments, specifically focused on theoretical foundations and methods for information processing and communications. Organizing a conference like this one is not possible without the assistance and continuous support of many people and institutions. Particularly I would like to - press my gratitude to the organizers of sessions on dedicated topics that took place during the conference. I also thank Stefan Goeller, Janahanlal Stephen, R Vijay Kumar, and Nessy Thankachan for their constant support and guidance. I would like to express my gra- tude to Springer s LNCS-CCIS editorial team, especially Leonie Kunz, for producing such a wonderful proceedings book. July 2010 Vinu V Das"
