As part of this conference, 9 papers describing electrical engineering research being pursed at The University of Mississippi were presented. These papers were co-authored by a large number of students and faculty as shown in the accompanying list of papers presented. Dr. Atef Z. Elsherbeni served on the MAESC Organization Committee, and he and Dr. Richard K. Gordon were Moderators for 3 Technical Sessions. On-line post-conference proceedings of paper abstracts can be viewed at cbu.edu/engineering/maesc
