The Industry Applications Society of the Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan is pleased to announce that the International Power Electronics Conference -ECCE Asia- (IPEC-Sapporo 2010) will meet June 21st through 24th, 2010 at Sapporo Convention Center in Sapporo, Japan. This international conference is technically co-sponsored by IEEE Industry Applications Society and IEEE Power Electronics Society. As the sixth IPEC since 1983, the Sapporo Conference will provide a unique opportunity for engineers, researchers and academicians to assemble in a beautiful northern city in Hokkaido and exchange the latest information on power electronics, motor drives, motion control and related subjects. All papers presented will be published in the IEEE Xplore.
