15th Power Systems Computation Conference Liege, Belgium, August 22-26 2005
| WELCOME TO PSCC 2005 IN LIEGE It is our special privilege and great pleasure to invite you to the 15th Power System Computation Conference, which is going to be held in Liege, Belgium, August 22-26 2005. PSCC is a worldwide renowned event. It takes place every three years in various European locations, and offers an international forum where theoretical and technical issues are confronted, progress and breakthroughs are presented, new ideas are discussed and challenges are identified. The very beginning of PSCC dates back to the early sixties. Since, its reputation has been steadily growing. Today, the advent of the electricity market restructuring, the threat of shortage of conventional energy resources, the rise of new promising ones, the outburst of information technologies and all activities related to the merger of energy and information technologies open new horizons to PSCC and make it more attractive than ever before. The increasing number of submitted contributions testifies of the Conference appeal. All in all, 494 full papers have been submitted, after a first pre-selection based on extended abstracts. The final selection retained 224 papers. These various contributions are going to be presented in 4 parallel sessions, running from Tuesday, 23 to Friday, August 26. All in all there will be 36 regular and 4 invited sessions, 2 plenary survey sessions and one panel. The main Conference is preceded by a Tutorial Course on "Future energy sources and technologies for electricity systems", to be held on Monday, August 22. The web-based procedures initiated in 2002 in Sevilla, have been reconsidered and intensified. The conference proceedings will be available in a CD-ROM. Besides, attendees can register on-line, if they wish, and download accepted papers, so as to be able to read them before the conference. In addition, a restricted number of hard copies of each paper will be available in the room the day of its presentation. The conference overall organization has been greatly facilitated and improved thanks to various sponsors. Particular thanks go to AIM (the local Association of Electrical Engineers), the University of Liege, and the industrial sponsors. The city of Liege is very close to major cities in Germany, France and The Netherlands. It is an 8 centuries old city which possesses an exceptional cultural and architectural patrimony and has the warm and welcoming character of a Mediterranean city. The local organizing committee has tried its best to make of your stay in Liege a professionally most fruitful and socially fully enjoyable event. Among the various social events that will take place throughout the week, we would mention in particular the Wednesday gala diner at "le Château des Comtes de Marchin" and the Thursday afternoon excursion, which will finish with a special event that takes place every year at the end of August, the "Chorus Night in the Villers Abbey". Looking forward to welcoming you in Liege, Louis Wehenkel Chairman of the LOC
