This book contains the papers presented at the International Symposium on Electromagnetic
Fields in Mechatronics, Electrical and Electronic Engineering ISEF’05 which
was held in Baiona, Spain on September 15–17, 2005. ISEF conferences have been
organized since 1985 as a common initiative of Polish and European researchers who
deal with electromagnetic fields applied to electrical engineering. Until now the conferences
have been held every two years, either in Poland or in one of European academic
centres renowned for electromagnetic research. The Royal Village of Baiona is
well-known in the world for its beauty and historical background and meaning, as it
was the place where Columbus landed after his travels to the New World. The venue of
the conference is very close to Vigo, which is one of the most important cities in Spanish
Galicia. The University of Vigo was the logistic centre of the conference.
It is the tradition of the ISEF meetings that they try to tackle quite a vast area of
computational and applied electromagnetics. Moreover, the ISEF symposia aim at joining
theory and practice, thus the majority of papers are deeply rooted in engineering
problems, being simultaneously of high theoretical level. Continuing this tradition, we
hope to touch the heart of the matter in electromagnetism.
More and more researchers engage into investigation of electromagnetic applications, especially these connected with mechatronics, information technologies, medicine, biology and material sciences. It is readily seen when looking at the content of the book that computational techniques, which were under development during the last three decades and are still being developed, serve as good tools for discovering new electromagnetic phenomena. It means that the field of computational electromagnetics belongs to an application area rather than to research area. This publication aims at joining theory and practice, thus the majority of papers are deeply rooted in engineering problems, being simultaneously of high theoretical level. The editors hope to touch the heart of the matter in electromagnetism. The book focuses on the following issues: Computational Electromagnetics; Electromagnetic Engineering; Coupled Field and Special Applications; Micro- and Special Devices; Bioelectromagnetics and Electromagnetic Hazard; and Magnetic Material Modelling. |
