The third joint-IAS Power Conversion Conference (PCC), cosponsored by the Industry Applications Society of the IEE Japan and the IEEE Industry Applications Society, will be held at the Osaka International Convention Center, Osaka Japan through April 2 to 5, 2002. PCC-Osaka provides opportunities for engineers, researchers and academia to meet and to exchange state-of-the-art power conversion technologies and applications. We are proud to be holding PCC in Osaka, since Osaka is a big business city and old traditional city at the same time. It was declared the nation's capital several times between the 3rd and 8th century. In Osaka, you can enjoy good cooking, beautiful scenery, various arts of Japanese tradition and modern amusements. You can also visit famous cities, such as Kyoto, Nara and Kobe, in one day trip from Osaka. The conference will be held in Osaka International Convention Center, newly constructed in 2000 at the center of Osaka city. ----------------------------------------------------- Topical Categories of Interest To facilitate the review process, the following topical categories have been created 1.
