About


Scilab India 2014 is a conference that provides opportunities to spread the use of Scilab in the scientific and educational community in India. The objective of this conference is to facilitate interaction with the best of the Scilab community, with a special emphasis on interaction between young and more experienced researchers. It provides an open ground to learn, understand, participate, and contribute to the Scilab community.

Attendees of the conference and participants will be able to gain further knowledge of the toolboxes available in Scilab. One of the goals of the conference is to combine education, engineering, and science with computing through the medium of Scilab. We aim to make Scilab comparable to any equivalent commercial software. We invite everyone to take part in this conference.
