The Eighteenth Biennial IEEE Conference on Electromagnetic Field Computation (CEFC 2018) kicked off in Hangzhou on the morning of October 29. More than 500 scholars and engineers from 30-plus countries and regions got together in this grand academic feast to exchange views on the subject "Electromagnetics Computation and Application, Interaction between Electromagnetic Field and Substance".
SHENG Kuang, dean of the College of Electrical Engineering of Zhejiang University, YANG Qingxin, director-general of China Electrotechnical Society, the president of Tianjin University of Technology, Prof. Yves Marechal, president of IEEE CEFC International Steering Committee, Osama A. Mohammed, president of CEFC Editorial Committee, and a professor of Florida International University, USA, delivered speeches at the opening ceremony.
On behalf of Zhejiang University, SHENG Kuang extended his warm welcome to all the academic delegates. “Computational Electromagnetics has been widely applied in Electrical Engineering and many other interdisciplinary fields,” SHENG said, “Papers presented in this conference will demonstrate the most recent achievements in the modelling and simulation in electromagnetic field, which will provide a great platform for scholars and engineers all over the world to present your recent research works, exchange ideas and establish and enhance friendships.”
“CEFC 2018 is the first time being held in China, and CEFC is one of the most important scientific and technical conferences in computational electromagnetics all around the world,” said YANG Qingxin.
Yves Marechal pointed out that the IEEE CEFC plays an important role in support of academic research and the education reserve of youth talents in related fields.
Osama A. Mohammed introduced the proceedings of the conference. He emphasized that 30% of the articles in this CEFC meeting were published in the IEEE Magnetics Journal, and the remaining articles were published in the IEEE Xplore database (as Journal Paper) as Proceedings.
The CEFC International Conference was co-organized by the IEEE Magnetic Society, the China Electrotechnical Society, and the China Electrical Engineering Society, and was hosted by Zhejiang University. The conference is chaired by Prof. YANG Shiyou from College of Electrical Engineering in Zhejiang University.
Related experts and scholars in the relevant fields, business colleagues gathered in the West Lake. The conference attracted researchers from more than 30 countries and regions including South Korea, Singapore, Australia, the United States, Canada, Brazil, the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, Greece etc. and Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau of China. More than 1,500 abstract papers, after rigorous evaluation by authoritative experts in the field, were finally selected into 930 papers, with 11 special reports and 29 poster reports.
Background
The Biennial IEEE Conference on Electromagnetic Field Computation (CEFC 2018) is held by IEEE Magnetics Society, first established in 1984. As the development of computing technology, Computational Electromagnetics has become mature as an interdiscipline field. It has been widely applied in Electrical Engineering and many other fields. There is a need to periodically summarize the developement status and prospects. The purpose of this conference aims to provide a platform to demonstrate the most recent achievements in the modelling and simulation in electromagnetic field, with special focus on the computer-aided design of electromagnetic equipments and devices of high and low frequency, the interaction between substance and electromagnetic field. Prof. YANG Shiyou from College of Electrical Engineering in Zhejiang University serves as the Executive Committee Chair. The CEFC Conference is held every two years.
