6th International Symposium on Power-line Communications
and its Applications
ISPLC 2002
27-29 March
Athens, Greece



Welcoming Message 

After a successful organization of a series of five events, this year the
"International Symposium on Power Lines Communications and Its
Applications" (ISPLC) is hosted in Athens, Greece, 27- 29 March 2002. The
objective of the symposium is to stimulate research and applications and
contribute to the formulation and solution of new problems in this field.

The conference has already established itself as the leading event on this
topic and succeeded in gathering all the academic and industrial community
worldwide at a forum where the latest advances in theory, measurements and
applications are presented and discussed. An interesting exhibition is
organized in parallel with the technical sessions with many outstanding
lectures on market solutions and trends. Furthermore, relevant European
Projects are using this forum to demonstrate their results. The event is
sponsored by IEEE, the European COST 262 Action, and many companies in the
area and it is expected to be a well received international activity.

2002 seems to be a quite important year for discussion and re-evaluation
of the evolution in this field, with new promising products launched in
the market, but in parallel with a painful feedback from the energy-supply
adventure in countries with some history on deregulation. Greece is now
attempting a power privatization process and the Public Authorities are
carefully investigating the international environment and activities in
the field. Let's sit all together and explore the pros and cons of the
story.

The symposium is hosted by Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, at the
birth-place of Symposia, ATHENS, the city of Olympic Games 2004. Some
people say the best way to visit Athens is to spend a day on the Acropolis
and a night in Plaka before heading off for a two-week holiday on one of
the Greek islands. Then, we offer you a good start of the trip, you can
arrange the rest. We believe you will enjoy your stay and you will find
the event a considerable contribution to your professional agenda, so we
are cordially invite you to join us in Athens.

See you soon.
