PURPOSE
The Second IASTED Asian Conference on Power and Energy Systems (AsiaPES 2008) will create an international forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange new ideas and practical experience in the areas of energy and power systems. AsiaPES 2008 aims to strengthen relations between the energy sector, research laboratories, and universities. All papers submitted to this conference will be double blind reviewed by at least two reviewers. Acceptance will be based primarily on originality and contribution.

AsiaPES 2008 will be held in conjunction with the IASTED conferences on:
Communication Systems and Networks (AsiaCSN 2008)
Advances in Computer Science and Technology (ACST 2008)

LOCATION
AsiaPES 2008 will be held in Langkawi, Malaysia. Langkawi is an archipelago of 99 islands off the North-Western coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Unique rock formations, ancient rainforests, and spectacular caves have influenced Langkawi's fantastic legends of gigantic birds, warriors, and fairy princesses. A natural paradise unmatched in splendour, it is no wonder it was long known as "Malaysia's best kept secret." White sandy beaches and clear emerald waters offer visitors sun-filled days of rest and relaxation, and there are countless ways to add adventure to your stay. Catch a boat to Palau Payar Marine Park, feed wild eagles, or explore the world-renowned Cave of Bats. Start your days with the famous Malay breakfast, freshly prepared nasi lemak �?? steamed rice in coconut milk, wrapped in banana leaf �?? and you will be well on your way to enjoying this tropical paradise.
