Preface
New problems that demand fast computational techniques together with advanced
applications that combine modern hardware and artificial intelligence are the new
challenges for the Electrical Engineers in a truly competitive world. In our world
where the liberation of electric energy market is a new global reality and where the
end of the non-renewable sources together with the problem of pollution are
international problems threatening the existence of our planet and our life.
