The Tenth biennial Symposium on Ocean Electronics, 2009(SYMPOL 2009) is organized as an international conference, addressing the global oceans, systems and technologies during 18-20 November, 2009 in Cochin University of Science and Technology. The first symposium of this series was organised during 18-20 December 1991, to mark the occasion of the formal opening of the Centre for Ocean Electronics established in the Department of Electronics of Cochin University of Science and Technology as a joint venture of the Ministry of Human Resources Development (Govt. of India) and University Grants Commission. This symposium is intended to provide a forum for the researchers to interact with one another and present their innovative ideas and research findings in the fields of Ocean Electronics and allied areas.

The technical sessions of the Symposium include presentation of contributed research papers and invited talks on some of the current and emerging topics in Ocean Electronics. These invited talks are intended for working engineers/scientists to update their skills and knowledge in some of the highly specialized and fast developing areas in Ocean Electronics.
