MINUTES OF CAS TC ON POWER SYSTEMS AND POWER ELECTRONICS
June 1 ISCAS 1999 ORLANDO FLORIDA
Chair Ian Dobson

(1) Ian Dobson summarized the TC report for 98-99.

(2) Special sessions for the next ISCAS were discussed.
Several opportunities for special sessions in power systems
were discussed.

(3) The present and past associate editors Marian Kazimierczuk
and Adrian Ioinovici described the need for increased efforts 
to locate good reviewers.
One persistent difficulty is one associate editor covering both power 
systems and power electronics.
The problem arises both from the number of papers in the combined subjects
and one person locating reviewers in both communities.
It was decided to strongly recommend to CAS that two
associate editors, one for power systems and one for power electronics,
be appointed. 

(4) Coordination between the CAS and Power Electronic societies 
to advance systems aspects of power electronics was discussed
by Ian Dobson and Phil Krein, President of IEEE Power Electronic society.

(5) Alex Stankovic was elected technical commitee chair
for 2000-2001 by unanimous consent. 
Adrian Ioinovici, elected at the previous meeting,
will serve as chair for 1999-2000.
