Technical Program and Organizing Committees invite you to take part in

XVIII INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ELECTROMAGNETIC DISTURBANCES

September 25-26, 2008 Vilnius, Lithuania

The EMD’2008 Conference is a continuation of the series of

symposia concerning Overvoltages in Power Electronics and

Computer Systems, which were started in 1990. Since then these

conferences took place in Białystok and Hołny Mejera (Poland),

Vilnius, Kaunas, Dubingiai and Palanga (Lithuania).

Protection of electronic and electric devices or systems against

malfunction, failure or permanent degradation is critical, especially

from cost-effective perspective. This fact as well as the evolution of

electronic technology caused impetuous necessity for extension of the

EMD conference scope with several new topics.

The aim of the EMD Conferences is to create a forum for

presentations and discussions about sources of electromagnetic

disturbances, their influence on electronic devices and systems, and

protection against them.
