WELCOME FROM THE CHAIRJanet O’Neil, ETS-LindgrenChair, EMC <str<strong>on</strong>g>2007</str<strong>on</strong>g> Symposium CommitteeSpecial <str<strong>on</strong>g>2007</str<strong>on</strong>g> IEEE EMC Symposium Secti<strong>on</strong> 3ALOHA!On behalf of the EMC <str<strong>on</strong>g>2007</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>symposium</str<strong>on</strong>g>steering committee, we hope you will joinus in H<strong>on</strong>olulu, Hawai’i, this July for the<str<strong>on</strong>g>2007</str<strong>on</strong>g> IEEE Internati<strong>on</strong>al Symposium <strong>on</strong>Electromagnetic Compatibility. The EMCSociety Board of Directors approved thisunique locati<strong>on</strong> years ago, as a special locati<strong>on</strong>was deemed necessary for a very specialcelebrati<strong>on</strong>: the 50th Anniversary ofthe formati<strong>on</strong> of the EMC Society!The locati<strong>on</strong> of Hawai’i also reflects thisyear’s <str<strong>on</strong>g>symposium</str<strong>on</strong>g> theme of “East Meets West”as engineers from around the world will comefrom the East and the West to c<strong>on</strong>vene in themid-Pacific for a week devoted to the study ofEMC science. We’ve found the locati<strong>on</strong> toindeed be a central meeting point as the demographicsof our technical paper authors isapproximately 30% from Asia, 31% from theU.S. and 39% from Europe and the MiddleEast. This appears to be the first time we’ve seensuch a balanced representati<strong>on</strong> of <str<strong>on</strong>g>symposium</str<strong>on</strong>g>authors from around the world. That’s exciting!Our record number of technical papers,workshops, and tutorials submitted promisea record attendance. We are sure every<strong>on</strong>ewill benefit from this increased attendance;there will be many great technicalsessi<strong>on</strong>s to attend, and many potential customersin the exhibit hall. Surely the networkingwill be great in Hawai’i!With the anniversary this year, theschedule for the <str<strong>on</strong>g>symposium</str<strong>on</strong>g> week wasaltered slightly. The workshops and tutorialswill be held <strong>on</strong> Sunday and M<strong>on</strong>day.The technical papers and the exhibits willoccur in the traditi<strong>on</strong>al Tuesday throughThursday timeframe. On Friday, we willc<strong>on</strong>clude the <str<strong>on</strong>g>symposium</str<strong>on</strong>g> with the “official”50th Anniversary Celebrati<strong>on</strong> lunche<strong>on</strong>and island tour. After all, <strong>on</strong>e can’tcome to Hawai’i and spend the entire timein the big city of H<strong>on</strong>olulu. One needs tosee the “real” Hawai’i of l<strong>on</strong>g ago, the endlessfields of sugar cane and pineapples, thestunning sun-bleached beaches, and theincredibly lush landscape. For <strong>on</strong>e day, youare invited to join the 50th AnniversaryCommittee for a special lunche<strong>on</strong> and tour.You can read more about this in the followingpages.We are also launching the Global EMCUniversity at the <str<strong>on</strong>g>symposium</str<strong>on</strong>g> this year.This dedicated track is targeted to thosepeople who are relatively new to EMC andincludes a well-planned curriculum taughtby world-renowned EMC experts.Nowhere else can <strong>on</strong>e receive this level ofEMC educati<strong>on</strong> from instructors all overthe world in <strong>on</strong>e place at <strong>on</strong>e time. If youare new to EMC, this track is for you!Please register early if this interests you, asattendance is limited to ensure interacti<strong>on</strong>with the instructors. CEUs are awarded tocandidates who successfully complete thecourse.In closing, I would like to thank theentire EMC <str<strong>on</strong>g>2007</str<strong>on</strong>g> steering committee fortheir excellent work <strong>on</strong> this <str<strong>on</strong>g>symposium</str<strong>on</strong>g>.Their names and areas of work <strong>on</strong> the committeeare shown below. I tallied up theexperience of this committee and was humbledwhen I realized we have <strong>on</strong> the committeefive past EMC <str<strong>on</strong>g>symposium</str<strong>on</strong>g> chairs,five IEEE Fellows, four past-Presidents ofthe EMC Society, and several current EMCSociety Board members. Every member ofthe committee has been involved in pastEMC symposia or has organized regi<strong>on</strong>alevents. Our committee members thus arenot <strong>on</strong>ly experienced, but they are frommany different countries and regi<strong>on</strong>s withinthe IEEE. I would be remiss if I did notalso recognize and thank the TechnicalCommittees of the EMC Society for theirsupport of the <str<strong>on</strong>g>symposium</str<strong>on</strong>g>. This dedicatedgroup reviewed close to 400 papers!Collectively, the members of the EMC<str<strong>on</strong>g>2007</str<strong>on</strong>g> steering committee and theTechnical Committees have brought theirtime and talent to this <str<strong>on</strong>g>symposium</str<strong>on</strong>g>. Youwill reap the rewards of their dedicati<strong>on</strong> inH<strong>on</strong>olulu, Hawai’i, over July 8-13, <str<strong>on</strong>g>2007</str<strong>on</strong>g>.We hope to see you there.Mahalo!EMC <str<strong>on</strong>g>2007</str<strong>on</strong>g> SYMPOSIUM COMMITTEEVice ChairR.
