Call for Papers

The 1997 Power Electronics Specialists Conference (PESC), sponsored by the IEEE
Power Electronics Society, will be held at the Regal Riverfront Hotel, St. Louis, Missouri,
USA from June 22-27, 1997.

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 '97 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:

1.	Dc-to-dc converters and distributed dc power supply systems,

2.	Rectifiers, inverters, and other ac-to-dc and dc-to-ac converters for power
	supply and UPS applications,

3.	Motor drives and motion control,

4.	Automotive, aerospace, transportation, and utility applications of power electronics,

5.	Power quality, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and electromagnetic
	interference (EMI) issues,

6.	Discrete and integrated power semiconductor devices and modules,

7.	Passive components including capacitors and magnetic devices,

8.	Computer-aided modeling, analysis, design and synthesis of power
	electronic systems,

9.	Control theory as applied to power electronic systems,

10.	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.

1.	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.

2.	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.

October 15, 1996:	Deadline for submission of abstracts with digests.

February 15, 1997:	Authors notified of acceptance.

April 30, 1997:	Deadline for submission of camera-ready manuscript.
