This year, the DIPED Seminar/Workshop was dedicated to 70th anniversary of Prof. Nikolai Voitovich, who is permanent co-chairman of all previous DIPEDs, organizer and first Chairman of the West Ukraine Chapter. Owing his efforts and technical and financial support of the IEEE, the non-formal meeting of the scientists from Georgia, Russia, and Ukraine was renewed as the annual joint Seminar/Workshop of both the MTT/ED/AP/CPMT/SSC West Ukraine and

MTT/ED/AP/EMC Georgian Chapters and received the status of international scientific event in 1995. The successful holding all DIPEDs in many aspects indebts to Prof. Voitovich, his enthusiasms, organization efforts, and permanent care.
The DIPED-2010 topics were extended to IC modeling and MEMS design together with traditional
subjects of electromagnetic theory, antenna design, and acoustics. The next themes were suggested for the contributed papers.

• Theoretical aspects of electrodynamics
• Waveguide and photonic crystal structures
• Diffraction theory
• Inverse problems and synthesis
• Propagation and scattering in complex media
• Antennas and antenna arrays
• Numerical methods in electrodynamics
• Integrated Circuit Modeling
• Models and methods for MEMS
• Acoustics: theory and applications.
