The International Conference on Electrical Engineering (ICEE) is a major event that will annually provide an international venue for electrical engineers and experts to highlight key issues and developments essential to the multifaceted field of electrical engineering systems. ICEE 2013, the 19th in the series, will be held in Xiamen, China from July 14 to 17, 2013. It is a great pleasure for the CSEE and the co-organizers HKIE, IEEJ, and KIEE, to invite prospective authors initiating the discussion on the challenges that need to be timely overcome and addressing key questions for achieving a long-term safe, reliable, sustainable and intelligent power system.
