| Workshops and Tutorials A number of workshops and tutorials will be organized in parallel with the conference. Please check this page for news. Third International Workshop on Electromagnetic Compatibility and Engineering in Medicine and BiologyThe International Workshop on Advances in Medical and Rehabilitation Engineering Applications1st Workshop on Lighting: From Energy Efficiency to Light PollutionWorkshop on Modern Technologies for Electricity NetworksThird International Workshop on Electromagnetic Compatibility and Engineering in Medicine and BiologyThe aim of the workshop is to bring together scientists, engineers, manufacturers and users from all over the world to discuss common theoretical and practical problems, describe scientific and commercial applications and explore avenues for future research in - and connections between - these two dynamical domains: Electromagnetic Compatibility & Engineering in Medicine and Biology.The main topics are focused on the characterization of electromagnetic environments, associated with field influence on technical or biological systems. What makes the EMC&EMB workshop special is its novel approach towards considering interconnections between the electromagnetic fields and medical bioengineering. Thus, topics include, but are not limited to: - EMC in electrical and electronic engineering - Electrostatic discharge (ESD) - EMC measurement, instrumentation and testing - Modeling/simulation and computational electromagnetic - Survey of electromagnetic environments - Electromagnetic shields and absorbers - Electromagnetic interference characterization/control in medical devices and hospitals - Biological and health effects of electromagnetic fields. - Electro and magneto therapy - Electromagnetic/bioelectromagnetic signatures acquisition and processing - Embedded/wearable systems in biomedical engineering - Wireless communication in biomedicine/measurements - Methods and modelling in medicine and biology Workshop chair: Professor Valeriu David MSc, PhD (valdavid@ee.tuiasi.ro) Faculty of Electrical Engineering “Gheorghe Asachi” Technical University of Iasi Bd.

Patients who suffer from severe motor impairments (late stage of Amyothrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), severe cerebral palsy, head trauma and spinal injuries) may use such a BCI system as an alternative form of communication by mental activity. In fact, changes of brain activity induced by a mental task are detected/classified. The BCI system transforms these changes into a control signal which can be used for communication or control of external devices.  The practical demo will be performed with g.USBamp system and wireless system g.Nautilus (BCI systems). Workshop chair: Assoc.

Mainly due to their increased efficiency, LEDs are replacing old lighting technology in practically all application domains. From the conservative skeptical attitudes and up to the aggressive commercial promotion, the specialists are invited to spread information and moderate polemics. But beyond the transition to a new technology, lighting has an increased social, environmental, commercial, ambiental and cultural role. Different diverse implications of urban lighting have to be analyzed and discussed, like those related to the light pollution: health, ecology, anthropology and the need of a dark sky. Nevertheless, the traditional lighting industry is forced to move away from a product oriented industry, towards an industry providing full service lighting systems and solutions. As a result of the impact of information- and communication technology, new concept like “lighting on-demand” will become usual. Call for Papers The submission of scientific papers is fully supported. Accepted papers compying with EPE2014 conditions (http://www.epe.tuiasi.ro/2014/) will be included in the Conference Proceedings, distributed to the participants at the beginning of the Conference.
