Abstract :
On behalf of the IEEE Canada leadership team, it is a pleasure to welcome the attendees to this 25th occasion of the 2012 Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering in Montréal, Québec. CCECE is the flagship conference of IEEE Canada and we continue to be its largest sponsor. It gives me great pride to see this conference, whose humble beginnings originate from Vancouver in 1988, has maintained its relevance and continues to grow. It takes a lot of hard work and vision to start a conference and continued work and dedication to continue it. My sincere appreciation goes out to my predecessor´s and the volunteers who have and continue to make this conference successful.
