Call for Papers
INDUCTICA Chicago 2008
CWIEME Chicago Educational Conference
The International Conference for inductive and electromagnetic components, systems and devices including manufacturing and processing.
To be held in parallel with the Coil Winding and Electrical Manufacturing Exhibition (CWIEME) in Chicago.
The 2008 Conference will be free to all visitors to the exhibition. No registration or fees will be required. This new, but simple, idea turned what was a mediocre attendance at our last Conference in Berlin into a vibrant, live and well attended Conference – even the last Technical Paper of Inductica Berlin 2007 (which is considered the dead man's shift had over 65 attendees). Every comment solicited from the Conference delegates was positive.

Motivation
Inductive devices are often taken for granted - Coils are as old as electricity itself! However, in recent years there have been considerable advances, particularly in areas like superconductivity, micro-coils and new magnetic materials. Despite this, many manufacturing, testing and analysis methods remain little changed. This conference represents both new and old in this respect and our wish is to expand the conference in both directions.
Traditional topics of interest
Coil winding and inductive component manufacture
Transformer, motor and generator technology
Insulation and partial discharge testing
Newer topics of interest
New magnetic materials including magnetic fluids
Modeling and computer simulation
Miniature and micro coils
