| Progress
in Electromagnetics Research Symposium (PIERS) is sponsored
by The Electromagnetics Academy. It is devoted to academic excellence
and the advancement of research and relevant applications of
the electromagnetic theory and to promoting educational objectives
of the electromagnetics profession. Induction to Membership
in the Academy is an honor in recognition of scholarly achievements
and distinguished educational and professional services. The
Academy currently has over 1,000 members active in electromagnetics
research. PIERS provides an international forum for reporting
progress and recent advances in the modern development of electromagnetic
theory and its new and exciting applications. Spectra ranges
from statics to RF, microwave, photonics, and beyond. Topics
include radiation, propagation, diffraction, scattering, guidance,
resonance, power, energy and force issues, and all other modern developments.
In 1989, the Electromanetics Academy sponsored the
first PIERS held in Boston, Massachusetts, 25-26 July. The Symposium
was followed by an NSF workshop in the future directions in electromagnetics
research, also co-sponsored by the Academy. Subsequent PIERS
have been held in various cities around the world, including
Cambridge, Pasadena, Noordwijk, Seattle, Innsbruck, Hong Kong,
Nante, Taipei, Osaka, Singapore, Honolulu, Pisa, etc. Hangzhou,
one of the financial and commercial centers in China, is located
on the lowreaches of Qiantang River in southeast China and 180
kilometers from Shanghai. Over the course of thousands of years,
Hangzhou has been famous for the West Lake it hosts, one of
the most elegant lakes in the world, with a neighborhood that
blends the famous hilly and aqueous scenery, as well as historical
and cultural sites. Radiance and beauty is perceivably resonated
by the ˇ°double ten scenic spotsˇ±. We sincerely hope you will
enjoy this city and the upcoming wonderful conference. |
