The 2nd International Conference on Electrical Engineering Design and Technologies (ICEEDT 08) will be held on November 8-10, 2008 in Hammamet, Tunisia. The conference provides a forum for researchers from academe and industry to present their original work and exchange ideas and information. The official language of the conference is English. Papers are peer reviewed.

All accepted papers must be presented at the conference and will be published in the conference proceedings. The abstracts will be indexed in major academic databases.

Special Sessions: Persons wishing to organize a special session should email a proposal to tarek.bouktir@esrgroups.org by February 28, 2008. Proposals should include a session title, a list of the topics covered, and the qualifications and brief biography of the session organizer.

Papers submitted to the special session must be received by May 30, 2008, unless otherwise stipulated by the Special Session Organizer. A minimum of five papers must be registered and fully paid in order for this session to be included in the conference program.

More information on special sessions is available at: specialsessionprposal.mht.

Journals ! Expanded and enhanced versions of papers published in the conference proceedings can also be considered for inclusion in one of the ICEEDT'08 sponsor journals.
