3iWEM 20142014 IEEE International Workshop on Electromagnetics: Applications and Student Innovation
Competition
iWEM started in Taipei in 2010 for the first time as International Conference on Applicationsof Electromagnetism and Student Innovation Awards (2010 ICAE/SIA), and it then continued but
renamed in Taipei in 2011 as IEEE International Workshop on Electromagnetics: Applications andStudent Innovation Competition (2011 IEEE iWEM). Supported by IEEE, this workshop series will beheld in rotation in Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, and Japan. Different from other recognized conferences
and/or workshops, this workshop series focuses more on student innovation competition and runs in asingle session format. It provides not only an international platform for scientists and engineers to exchange their ideas, but also a good venue for young scholars and students to demonstrate their innovative
results (which may lead to awards). IEEE iWEM2014 is organized by the IEEE AP-S Japan Chapter and IEEE Sapporo Section and technically co-sponsored by IEICE Communications Society, IEEE
AP-S Fukuoka/Kansai/Nagoya Chapters. The venue of the workshop is Hokkaido University, Sapporo,
Hokkaido, Japan. Sapporo is the largest city on the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido. All accepted
papers will be included in IEEE Xplore.
