EMC 2007 Symposium Sets
Records!
In our last issue of the Newsletter, it was noted that the Fall
2006 issue was the longest to date at 120 pages. In this issue,
we have another record to announce – over 300 papers were
submitted for the 2007 IEEE International Symposium on EMC technical
program! The authors represented an almost equal balance of papers
submitted from Asia, the United States and Europe. Accordingly,
this symposium promises to be the most international one held
to date. For the press release on this topic, please see page
52.
Since this year’s symposium also marks the 50th Anniversary
of the IEEE EMC Society, we have a special 50th Anniversary and
History Section in this Newsletter starting on page 42. Many thanks
to Dan Hoolihan, Chair of the EMC Society’s 50th Anniversary
and History Committee, as well as to Brian Lawrence, Executive
Director of NARTE, for their contributions to this special section.
I look forward to my dual role as the Newsletter Editor and Chair
of the EMC 2007 Symposium Steering Committee this year. It’s
a busy time, but an exciting one too! The committee this year
is very unique in that the members are from various locations
around the world. Many prominent members in our Society volunteered
to help on this special anniversary symposium; several members
are past Symposium Chairs, several members are IEEE Fellows, several
members are past Presidents of the EMC Society, and several are
up and coming leaders in our Society. It’s been truly an
honor working with this committee and I can promise you the results
of their efforts will be a world-class 2007 IEEE International
Symposium on EMC in Honolulu, Hawaii!
Please visit the Symposium website at www.emc2007.org
where you’ll find the following updates and more:
• Technical Program - Paper titles and abstracts, workshops
and tutorials, special sessions
• Global EMC University – As per the ad on page 22,
this special track is NEW to the Symposium
• Exhibitor Museum – All exhibitors are encouraged
to show early products to emphasize where we’ve been and
where we’re going
• Symposium Schedule – Check this out BEFORE you make
your travel plans, as you won’t want to miss the workshops
and tutorials starting on Sunday, July 8 or the Anniversary Celebration
and Island Tour on Friday, July 13
• Overflow Hotel – The Ala Moana hotel is now contracted
to handle the many requests for hotel guest rooms since the room
block at the host hotel filled early
We will have company from other IEEE Societies in Hawaii this
summer. As per the ad on this page, the Microwave Theory and Techniques
Society will hold their annual symposium this year in Hawaii over
June 3-8 (www.IMS2007.org).
The Antennas and Propagation Society will hold their annual symposium
over June 10-15 (https://hcac.hawaii.edu/conferences/aps2007)
Since IEEE membership is rapidly growing in Region 10 (Asia),
the location of Hawaii promises to attract these new members all
summer long!
We look forward to seeing our new and established IEEE and EMC
Society members at EMC 2007! EMC
