The Association Office will provide contact information on request.

Prospective authors are asked to submit a digest explaining the problem that will be addressed by the paper, the major results, and how this is different from the closest existing literature. Papers presented at APEC must be original material and not have been previously presented or published. The principal criteria in selecting digests will be the usefulness of the work to the practicing power electronic professional. Reviewers value evidence of completed experimental work. Authors should obtain any necessary company and governmental clearance prior to submission of digests. The material must be must be submitted in electronic format to the APEC office no later than July 8, 2013.

Notification that a paper was accepted or declined will be provided no later than October 7, 2013.
