 Centre
of Excellence In Computational Engineering & Networking (
CEN ), which functions in the main campus of Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham
located in the serene and picturesque Western Ghats valley in
Ettimadai, Coimbatore, will play an important role for the future
of the scientific discovery process and engineering design. The
CEN labs are currently conducting research in many innovative
areas of engineering, working towards developing by May 2004:
a massively parallel Partial Differential Equation (PDE) solver;
a massively parallel design and analysis platform for flow visualization
and fluid dynamics; reliable truss topology optimizer ; setting
up a full fledged Bio informatics lab. More»
Amrita Research labs (ARL)
is the dedicated Research & Development arm of Amrita Vishwa
Vidyapeetham. It is a platform for engaging in collaborative R&D
work by groups of faculty members and students. ARL recently unveiled

leading edge research in a number of technologies over the past
few years has been receiving increasing attention from the industrial,
research, and academic institutions in India and abroad.
This is reflected in the increasing number of associations and
collaborations the Lab has entered in the recent past.
In a world where traditional sciences are fast losing their separate
identities, ARL actively engages in inter-disciplinary exploratory
research involving computing, communications, and electronics
(including medical electronics) thereby developing innovative
technolgoies.
ARL also makes regular contributions to the academic community
by regularly conducting classes and workshops on critical topics
and emerging technolgies such as Open Source tools and software,
Linux OS, Information Security and Cryptography. More»

Centre for Telemedicine
 Telemedicine
reduced to its simplest form is connecting geographically separate
health care facilities via telecommunications, video, and information
systems. It is the use of telecommunications technology to provide,
enhance, or expedite health care services, as by accessing off-site
databases, linking clinics or physicians' offices to central hospitals,
or transmitting x-rays or other diagnostic images for examination
at another site.
ARL has developed an integrated telemedicine solution-Amrita Telemedicine,
for linking various clinics and hospitals located in the remote
areas of Kerala with Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences and
Research Centre (AIMS), Cochin.More»
