On this occasion Electromotion is also joining this effort. The first joint event will have the joint acronym ACEMP-OPTIM-Electromotion and this conference is planned to take place in Side, Southern coast of Turkey, between 2-4 September 2015. In the true tradition of ACEMP and OPTIM once again the meeting has presentation by well known scientists of the electrical machines and power electronics area. We are looking forward to your participation to make this meeting a memorable occasion. Technical Tracks T1: Electrical Machines, Industrial Drives and Control.

Situated on a peninsula about 1000 m long and 400 m. wide, it fulfilled its duty as a commercial port. Naturally, Side used to be one of the most important trade centers in the antiquity and now it is one of the most popular holiday resort in Turkey. According to Strabon, the ancient geographer, side was first established in the 7 th cen. B.C. as a trade colony of the Aegean city Kyme near Izmir But the merchants took up the local language, Side tan; the name "Side" meant pomegranate, the fruit symbolizing abundance and fertility. http://www.side-manavgat.com/ Germany Stator flux oriented control for traction drives Germany Marcel JUFER, Dierk SCHRÖDER, Country Volker Staudt Bülent ŞARLIOĞLU USA Title Systematic evaluation and improvement of the acoustic behavior of electric drivetrains http://www.crystalhotels.com.tr/otel.html?id=12 Registration fee inclusive of: Congress material in a congress bag Access to all scientific sessions Welcome Cocktail Lunches and Coffee breaks Boat Trip Gala Dinner UK Romania USA Chile Holand USA
