The
2011 Asia-Pacific EMC Symposium (2011 APEMC) was held in Jeju Island in
Korea from May 16th to 19th, 2011 at the Ramada Plaza Jeju Hotel. Jeju
Island has very beautiful and peculiar landscape with rich cultures and
fabulous facilities. We are sure that the 2011 APEMC have provided an
excellent opportunity to exchange their expertise and to build up friendship
for the members of the EMC community of the Asian-Pacific region as well as
other regions of the world.
The
symposium chair was Dr. Jeong-Ki Pack, a professor in Chungnam National
University, Daejeon, Korea, and the Korean Institute of Electromagnetic
Engineering and Science (KIEES) and the Radio Research Agency (RRA) in
Korea were the organizers of the symposium. This symposium was sponsored by
Korea Communications Commission (KCC), Korea Radio Promotion Association
(KRPA), Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI),
Automotive Parts Technology Support Center (APTSC), Korea Marine Equipment
Research Institute (KMERI), Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPC), Korea
Tourism Organization (KTO), Jeju Convention & Visitors Bureau, Electromagnetic
Compatibility Society (EMCS), Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE), IEEE Seoul Section EMC Chapter, IEEE Seoul Section AP
Chapter, IEEE Seoul Section MTT Chapter, and IEEE Seoul Section GRS
Chapter.

Over
375 people from 20 countries from Asia, Europe, Australia, and North
Americas attended this symposium. The technical exhibition was held
concurrently with the symposium with 16 exhibitors.
The
welcome speech took place in the morning of May 17th, and more than 200
people attended. During his speech, the Symposium Chair, Prof. Jeong-Ki
Pack, welcomed all participants and expressed his appreciation to the
organizing committee, technical committee, paper authors, and sponsors for
their great efforts and contributions. After the opening speech, the
Technical Program Committee (TPC) Chair, Prof. Joungho Kim from KAIST in
Korea presented the summary of the TPC activities as well as the technical
program of 2011 APEMC.
Two
invaluable plenary speeches were presented at the opening ceremony: first
by Prof. Todd H. Hubing from Clemson Univ., USA, about “Ensuring the
Electromagnetic Compatibility of Safety Critical Automotive Systems,”
followed by Prof. Masao Taki from Tokyo Metropolitan University, Japan,
about “EMF Health Issues: Perspective of Risk Analysis and Risk
Management.” During the plenary speech session, a lot of experts from all
over the world asked numerous questions.
The
Technical Program Committee (TPC), which consists of 36 international TPC
members from all over the world and 41 local TPC members specifically from
Korea, has diligently worked to ensure the technical quality of the papers,
which were presented at the conference. The technical program was divided
into 6 categories such as tutorials, plenary speeches, technical paper
sessions, special paper sessions, poster paper sessions, and workshops. The
26 tutorials, which covered 10 topics by 27 speakers, took place in May
16th and 19th. The two outstanding speakers made fantastic presentations
during the plenary speech session. While 72 papers were presented in the
technical paper sessions, the 50 papers for the 10 special paper sessions
were given to many attendees. The 25 posters were introduced on Tuesday and
Wednesday. The 4 workshops for 4 topics on current hot topics were held on
Thursday, May 19, 2011. Project meeting of IEC SC77C was successful.

Total
165 papers from the technical, poster, and special paper sessions on the 23
technical topics were submitted from 20 different countries from Asia,
Europe, and North America. The 115 papers for the technical and poster
sessions and the invited 50 papers for the 10 special paper sessions were
submitted respectively. Each paper was reviewed by the 76 qualified
reviewers and the final decisions regarding the technical papers and
programs were made at the TPC meeting, which was held in Daejeon last
February. Paper submissions of the 2011 APEMC 2011 Symposium covered a wide
range of EMC‐related topics.
The most popular topics were Sources of Electromagnetic Interference, EMC
Management, EMC Measurement Techniques, System-Level EMC and PCB EMC,
Antenna and Propagation Issues, Electronic Packaging and Integration EMC,
Power Integrity (PI) and Signal Integrity (SI), Computational
Electromagnetics, Semiconductor EMC, and Electromagnetic Interference with
Medical Devices.
