CALL FOR PAPERS
International Symposium on
Advances in Power and Energy Systems
-APES 2015-
October 26 – 28, 2015
Marina del Rey, USA


SPONSOR

The International Association of Science and Technology for Development (IASTED)


LOCATION

Indenting the Pacific coastline of Los Angeles is the charming locale of Marina del Rey, California. Surrounding the world’s largest man-made harbor, the city’s marina docks over 5,000 yachts, speedboats, cruise ships, and pleasure craft of all descriptions. Marina del Rey—meaning Marina of the King—is only minutes by car from LAX airport, and just a few miles from such L.A. hotspots as Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, and Venice.
Visitors will enjoy Fisherman’s Village, a waterfront promenade in the style of a New England fishing village, featuring panoramic views of the marina and the Pacific, trendy restaurants catering to all appetites, and event venues that come alive with free concerts and open-air festivals. Boating enthusiasts have plenty to choose from, with motorboats and kayaks available to rent, as well as harbor cruises, chartered yachts, sportfishing excursions, and whale-watching tours all on offer.
