Preface

Article Type: Preface From: COMPEL: The International Journal for Computation and Mathematics in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Volume 34, Issue 5

It is a great pleasure to introduce this special issue of selected papers presented at the 16th International IGTE Symposium on Numerical Field Calculation in Electrical Engineering (IGTE 2014) held in September 2014 in Graz, Austria. More than 80 colleagues from 20 countries have contributed to IGTE 2014, presenting 25 oral speeches and more than 30 posters. Besides all topics related to numerical techniques in electromagnetism, optimal design and parameter optimization in electromagnetism,the design of electrical machines and high-frequency problems enjoyed great popularity.

A limited number of 23 papers were selected by a panel of two reviewers per paper. We take the opportunity to thank the reviewers from all over the world for their precious work.

We hope that this Special Issue will give an impression of what was presented at IGTE 2014 and will provide interesting and new information to the reader.
