Call for Papers
The 1999 Power Electronics Specialists Conference (PESC), sponsored by the IEEE Power Electronics Society, will be held at the Charleston Place Hotel, Charleston, South Carolina, USA from June 27- July 1, 1999.
PESC provides an international forum for specialists in power electronics to present and discuss papers on forward-looking topics in this fast-evolving field. PESC promotes interdisciplinary discussions of new ideas and the latest advances in the field of power electronics. PESC'99 solicits original work in systems, circuit topologies, devices, control theory and methods, simulation and design methods, utility applications, electric vehicle applications, aerospace applications, motor drives, education, and other significant contributions to the advancement of power electronics. To facilitate the review process, the following topic categories have been created:
- Dc-to-dc converters and distributed dc power supply systems,
- Rectifiers, inverters, and other ac-to-dc and dc-to-ac converters for power supply and UPS applications,
- Motor drives and motion control,
- Automotive, aerospace, transportation, and utility applications of power electronics,
- Power quality, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) issues,
- Discrete and integrated power semiconductor devices and modules,
- Passive components including capacitors and magnetic devices,
- Computer-aided modeling, analysis, design and synthesis of power electronic systems,
- Control theory as applied to power electronic systems,
- Packaging of power electronic systems.
For a paper to be considered for inclusion in the technical program,
submit the following materials printed using either 8.5 x 11 inch or
size A-4 paper.
- Three copies of a one-page abstract. The abstract page should show the paper title, author names and organization, and the mailing address, telephone, and fax numbers of the corresponding author. The text of the abstract should not exceed 50 words. To help proper review, the abstract should also indicate the most relevant topic number from the above list. If possible, please use the abstract submission form on the reverse side of this call for papers.
- Eight copies of a five-page digest. To ensure unbiased evaluation, the digest should be separate from the abstract and show the title but not the authors. Text in the digest should be double spaced. The digest should outline the work to be presented, the objectives, and the goals achieved. Inclusion of key equations, figures, tables, and references is encouraged provided no more than a total of five pages are submitted.
September 15, 1998: Deadline for submission of abstracts with
digests.
January 15, 1999: Authors notified of acceptance.
April 1, 1999: Deadline for submission of camera-ready
manuscript.
