Welcome

It is a great pleasure to welcome you to EuroCon 2015 in the historical city of Salamanca (Spain), declared a UNESCO world Meritage Site in 1988 and European Capital of Culture in 2002.

The IEEE Region 8 EuroCon 2015 Conference is a premier forum for the exchange of ideas, open and direct discussion on the development of the Circuits and Systems, Multimedia, Information and Communication Technology and energy and power systems. It has achieved a considerable success during the past 15 editions covering majority of the fields in the area of electrical engineering.

EUROCON 2015 received more than 250 technical submissions during several months. After a rigorous peer-review process, the International Program Committee selected 141 papers, which are published in this conference proceedings. The five finalists of the IEEE Region 8 student paper contest will also present their work during Eurocon 2015 Conference.

The selection of papers was extremely rigorous in order to maintain the high quality of the conference and we would like to thank the Program Committee for their hard work in the reviewing process. This process is very important to the creation of a conference of high standard and the EuroCon conference would not exist without their help.

The large number of submissions is certainly not only to testimony to the vitality and attractiveness of the field but an indicator of the interest in the EuroCon conferences themselves.

EuroCon 2015 enjoyed outstanding keynote speeches by distinguished guest speakers: Prof. Francisco Herrera – University of Granada (Spain), Prof. Marios M. Polycarpou – University of Cyprus (Cyprus), Prof. John Thompson –University of Edinburgh (UK), Mr. Isidro Laso –European Commission and Mr. Costas Stasopoulos – IEEE Region 8 Director (Cyprus).
