The Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC), the leading worldwide conference and exhibition for practicing power electronics professionals, is calling for papers for the APEC 2005 event to be held in Austin, Texas, from 6th to 10th March 2005.
APEC, jointly sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) Power Electronics Society (PELS), the IEEE Industry Applications Society (IAS) and the Power Sources Manufacturers Association (PSMA), is noted for presenting top-quality, peer-reviewed, noncommercial papers of practical importance related to the design and application of power electronics.
During the APEC 2004 conference in February, nearly 300 papers were presented.
For APEC 2005, papers are being solicited in the following technical areas: emerging applications of power electronics in energy conservation, automotive, telecommunications, medical and other electronic systems; AC/DC power supplies, DC/DC convertors, uninterruptible power supplies, motors, drives and inverters, lamps, ballasts and lighting; power factor correction; topics related to powering electronic equipment including system architecture and design issues, fault tolerance, stability and regulatory compliance; power system design tools and techniques, modelling and simulation; manufacturing processes, quality systems, procurement and qualification; and components for power electronics and packaging of power electronics.
In addition, papers are solicited covering topics related to the business of power electronics, including new market developments, e-commerce, business models, and techniques for marketing, selling and qualifying electronic products.
Deadline for submission of paper abstracts is 9th August 2004.
Authors will be notified of acceptance no later than 18th October 2004.
"In addition to the consistently high quality of the conference presentations, APEC draws thousands of power electronics professionals to its unique exhibition/reception hall that every year serves as platform for new product introductions and networking among the attendees and exhibitors", said Kevin Parmenter of ON Semiconductor and Publicity Chairman for APEC 2005.
"And this year, we are making a special effort to welcome technical journalists and industry analysts to participate".
