AsiaPES 2010 aims to strengthen relations between the energy sector, research laboratories, and universities.
All papers submitted to this conference will be double-blind peer reviewed by at least two members of the International Program Committee and related technical committees. Acceptance will be based primarily on originality, significance, technical soundness, presentation, and references. The conference chair will make the final decision on the acceptance or rejection of all papers.
AsiaPES 2010 will be held in conjunction with the IASTED Asian conferences on:
? Modelling, Simulation and Identification (MSI 2010)
? Robotics and Control (RC 2010)
? Advancements in Management Science and Risk Assessment (AMSRA 2010)
Location
Originally an important trading post between China and India, Phuket has grown into a modern tropical getaway for people looking to relax and enjoy the many unique treasures the island has to offer. Phuket provides its visitors with great variety, and everything that you could ever look for in a vacation is available on this island. The tough part is deciding what type of paradise you are looking for!
Stay at a Five Star resort or authentic beach hut. Dance and laugh at a vibrant pub and disco or enjoy a quiet meal at a waterfront restaurant. For cuisine, try the red curry with chillies, lemon grass, and coconut milk or fresh caught barracuda, shark, and tuna roasted over an open fire. Explore the island by travelling the west coast to see stunning ocean views or shop for local handicrafts at the Patong beach street market. No matter what you choose, you will always get to experience the famous Thai hospitality that will help make your trip to Phuket one that you will never forget.
