An exciting and stimulating technical program was made possible, with the presentation of a total of 292 papers from scientists coming from 36 countries, covering the most recent technological advances on information technology and electrotechnology. Throughout the world, electrotechnology and information technology form the basis of an entirely new era in professional practice and the delivery of services. It is characterized as a revolution based on information, hoping to improve the quality of life. This is especially important in the Mediterranean region, which bridges countries from three continents: Europe, Asia and Africa. Thus, the special theme of the conference has been selected to be: Information Technology and Electrotechnology for the Mediterranean Countries. The papers of Melecon 2000 will be presented under the following sessions: Regional Communication and Information Technology (106 papers) High Performance Networking, Control & Optimization, Communications/Network Design, Intelligent Networks, Network Reliability & Quality of Service, Broadband Network Communications I, II, Communication Systems, Optical Systems & Networks, Internet Services & Applications, Wireless & Mobile Communications I, II, III, Internet Services I, II, and Electron Devices. Signal and Image Processing (108 papers) Neural Networks I, II, Intelligent Systems, Image & Multidimensional Signal Processing I, II, Speech & Sound Processing, Filters, Signal & Image Processing I, II, Transportation Engineering, Signal Processing, Circuits & Systems I, II, Digital Signal Processing I, II, and Communication Systems DSP. Power Generation Supply and Renewable Resources (78 papers) Distribution, Power Quality, Transmission I, II, III, Machines I, II, Generation, Environmental/Energy Conservation, Control I, II and Renewables I, II. Furthermore, the IEEE Region 8 Student Paper Contest will take place during Melecon 2000 where 6 finalists will compete. We wish to express our thanks to all the contributors who submitted papers to Melecon 2000 for review. It goes without saying that we could not have had such a high quality technical program without their contributions. In addition, we would like to thank B. Zajc and J. Baal-Schem for their support in making this conference a reality. 4 MEleCon 2000 Also, we would like to express our sincere thanks to C. Economides, G. Malliotis, S. Panis, and C. Stasopoulos, for their dedicated efforts during the abstract review process and the preparation of the technical program. Moreover, we would like to thank P. Symeou, Y. Frangoulides, S. Spyrou, M. Papaconstantinou, A. Constantinou, K. Diamantides, S. Soteriou, N. Michaelides, and A. Kellas for their dedicated work and support in materializing this conference. Last but not least, we would like to thank E. Polycarpou and M. Avraam for their exceptional technical assistance in managing the paper handling and the electronic communications of the conference, as well as in preparing the advance program, and the conference proceedings. Moreover, we would like to express our sincere thanks to K. Mavromati, C. Hadjiyianni, S. Evstathiou, and Y. Mylonas for their additional technical assistance in organising this conference. We hope that Melecon 2000 will offer opportunities for professional growth and establishing new contacts with colleagues. Our intention is to do all we can to make your participation in the conference worthwhile and your stay in Cyprus enjoyable. C. S. Pattichis C. N. Schizas L. S. Savvides May 2000 MEleCon 2000 5 PRINCIPAL SPONSOR’S MESSAGE May 2000 Dear Delegates My partners and I would like to welcome you to this 10th Mediterranean Electrotechnical Conference, Melecon 2000 on Information Technology and Electrotechnology for the Mediterranean countries. It is evident from this highly regarded technical programme that most of you will be presenting papers on Information Technology and Electrotechnology that are on the edge of what is currently possible. Throughout the history of industrial development, our standards of living and the way we conduct business have been reshaped by significant breakthroughs in technology, just like the ones you will be presenting. A vivid example of this high technology application is e-business or e-commerce which has been driven by leading edge technology achievements in information technology. From day one, PricewaterhouseCoopers have identified the critical role that this leading edge technology can play in the business of tomorrow. The most fundamental dynamics of the market place that is customers and markets, competitors and alliances, policy and regulation, emerging technologies and businesses are in constant evolution and e-business is at the heart of these changes. We at PricewaterhouseCoopers have proven that high technology can effectively be harnessed, in this case in the form of e-business, and translated into opportunities for our business partners to outpace the competition and succeed in today's new economy. We wish that you have a successful Melecon 2000 conference and hope that it will be an opportunity for professional advancement.

This is surrounded by a Venetian Wall with many bastions. Within the wall numerous narrow streets beg to be explored with many shops, market places, churches taverns and picturesque houses. A visit to the Archaeological Museum will also be attempted if time permits. Souvlaki (local dinner) will be enjoyed out in the open. 30/5 Tuesday Gala Dinner (20:30-23:30) Dress informal 1/6 Thursday Afternoon guided tour to Troodos (14:00-19:00) Contact the official travel agent of the conference. The impressive Troodos mountain range stretches across most of the western side of Cyprus, offering cool sanctuary and idyllic hours spent in long walks in its scented pine forests in summer and winter sports and skiing in winter. Here are the many famous mountain resorts, Byzantine monasteries and churches on mountain peaks, and nestling in its valleys and picturesque mountain villages clinging to terraced hill slopes. The area has been known since ancient times for its mines, and in the Byzantine period it became a great centre of Byzantine art, as churches and monasteries were built in the mountains, away from the threatened coastline. Nine Byzantine churches in the Troodos mountains are included in the official UNESCO list of cultural treasures of the World's heritage: Stavros tou Ayiasmatos, Panayia tou Araka, Timiou Stavrou at Pelendri, Ayios Nikolaos tis Stegis, Panayia Podithou, Assinou, Ayios Ioannis Lampadistis, Panayia tou Moutoula, and Archangel Michael at Pedhoulas. 1/6 Thursday Day Trip to Kourion and Pafos (08:30-18:00) Contact the official travel agent of the conference. Some miles out of Limassol is the ancient city of Kourion in a beautiful setting with a Graeco-Roman theatre and magnificent mosaics. Pafos, in the southwest of the island, holds many treasures. Pafos focuses around an attractive little harbour. It nestles in the foot of the Troodos Mountains which adds to the beauty of the area. Pafos combines modern charms with history. The area, which was once the ancient capital of the island, is entwined with Greek mythology and the legendary birth of Aphrodite on her shores. Sites associated with this are the chunky rocks of her birthplace known as the Aphrodite Rocks, sanctuaries, the Baths of Aphrodite at Polis and the Fountain of Love or Fontana Amorosa at the Akamas peninsula. Fresh fish will be waiting for us at a seaside restaurant. Cruises to the Holyland and Egypt Short 2-3 day cruises are offered. Contact the official travel agent of the conference.
