The Organization of An Invited Workshop to Assess the State-of-the-art Nanotribology and to Identify Critical Research Issues

一个研讨会将评估国家的最先进的，并确定关键的研究问题，在纳米摩擦学在几个领域的重叠的兴趣：MEMS，中尺度制造，纳米技术，和微系统一般从这些不同的社区聚集在一起的研究人员。 该研讨会将包括来自实验学家，理论家和数值建模人员的参与，评估静摩擦，纳米尺度摩擦和磨损，MEMS润滑等纳米摩擦学问题。

A workshop will assess the state-of-the-art and identify critical research issues in nanotribology in several areas of overlapping interest: MEMS, meso-manufacturing, nanotechnology, and microsystems in general by bringing researchers from these diverse communities together. The workshop will include participation from experimentalists, theoreticians, and numerical modelers in an evaluation of nanotriboilogical problems of stiction, nano-scale friction and wear, MEMS lubrication, etc.
