Recent advances in power electronic technology are causing a revolution in power systems design across the entire power spectrum. From small power converters for domestic appliances to systems that handle hundreds of megawatts, it is becoming feasible to design greater flexibility, efficiency, stability and quality into modern power systems. This has led to unprecedented requirements from modern advanced power systems such as those that will be required for the next generation all-electric Navy ships. These systems place great demands on the modeling and simulation tools, techniques and processes that are essential to their design and successful implementation. For example, the design of an electric ship requires a multidisciplinary approach to simulation in which numerous professionals from several engineering disciplines can collaborate on the development of a simulation that becomes the specification of the proposed system.
The focus in this special issue is on original research results, experimental efforts and practical experiences in the application of modeling and simulation techniques to the design of advanced power electronic systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Full papers, describing original, previously unpublished research work, experimental efforts and practical experiences are solicited. The due dates given below are firm and must be observed to ensure timely review and, in the event of acceptance, inclusion of a paper in the special issue.

Roy Crosbie is an Emeritus Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering at California State University, Chico where he has been a faculty member since 1983. He is a Past President of SCS and former Chair of the Department of Computer Engineering at CSU, Chico. He is one of only two recipients of the SCS Presidential Award for Service to the Society. He received B. Eng. and Ph. D. degrees from the University of Liverpool and has previous experience with the Marconi Company and the University of Salford, England. His interest in M&S began with the design and construction of a small analog computer as an undergraduate at Liverpool University in 1957, so 2006 is his 50th year of research and consulting in analog and hybrid computing, numerical integration techniques, simulation languages and a wide range of simulation applications.
