Compumag 2015 Chairman’s Foreword

From June 29 to July 2, 2015, McGill University in Montreal, Canada, was the host of the 20th edition of the International Conference on the Computation of Electromagnetic Fields (Compumag 2015). Every two years since its inception in Oxford, U.K., in 1976, Compumag has provided a forum for the international computational electromagnetics community to come together and exchange ideas and develop new research areas. Over its history, we have seen the computation of electromagnetic fields advance from extremely simple systems in the early days of finite elements and integral methods to the advanced systems of today capable of dealing with 3-D systems handling eddy currents, nonlinearity, and motion on a laptop computer. Simulation has clearly come of age in our area.
