Report on IEEE/IEEJ workshop on computer simulation in polymer Dielectrics held in conjunction with ISEIM 2014 Niigata, Japan, on June 1, 2014

A workshop on "Computer Simulation in Polymer Dielectrics" was held on June 1, 2014, prior to ISEIM 2014 Niigata. It is called APIANS, which stands for Analysis for Polymeric Insulating Materials Using Advanced Numerical Simulation. Five experts in differing areas of computational dielectrics were invited to discuss their recent research and provide their vision for the future of computational dielectrics. The workshop, attended by more than 50 people, was well received. This report provides the outlines of the five speakers??? presentations and some consideration for future direction.
