Advanced Research Workshop on Future Trends in Microelectronics: the Nano Millennium, Ile de Bendor, France on June 24-29, 2001

拟议中的ARW将提供一个自由交流和辩论观点、愿景和想法的论坛。这种形式包括事先准备好的特邀发言和临时发言，并进行不受限制的意见交流和反驳。一些主要的名人将分享他们的观点，并领导关于技术走向和/或应该走向的讨论。每一天都将由主要发言人就一两个选定的主题进行演讲。所有的口头报告（在上午的会议上）都要集中在报告人对未来发展方向的观点和预测，对重要的新方法和新方法的评估或批评，而不是他们自己的成就。演讲者被要求具有煽动性和/或启发性。参与者的最新进展和成果将在下午的会议上以海报和小组/个人讨论的形式进行介绍。当天将以晚上的小组讨论会结束，试图进一步讨论与当天主题相关的选定争议问题。每次会议将由一个强有力的人物主持，邀请他/她选择的2-3名与会者发表立场声明，所有其他与会者都是小组成员。辩论会将被强制性地主持，无关的题外话将被毫不留情地切断。主持人也将被分配一项无望的任务，即在关键问题上达成共识。出于这些考虑，我们选择了一种不像正常研讨会那样死板的形式，以允许和鼓励不受约束的交流，有时甚至是不同观点的对抗。

The proposed ARW is to provide a forum for free-spirited exchange and debate of views,visions, and ideas. The format includes both prepared invited presentations and ad hoccontributions with uninhibited exchange of views and rebuttals. Some of the key luminarieswill come to share their opinions and to lead the discussions on where the technologies are going and/or should be going. Balanced representations of advocacy and oppositionwill be intentionally sought.Each day will start with presentations given by key speakers on subjects in one or twochosen themes. It is then followed by debates and invited talks by other participants.All oral presentations (in morning sessions) are to focus on the presenter's views andprojections of future directions, assessments or critiques of important newideas/approaches, and NOT on their own achievements. The presenters are asked to beprovocative and/or inspiring.Latest advances made and results obtained by the participants will be presented in theafternoon sessions in the form of posters and group/individual discussions.The day will be concluded by an evening panels session that attempts to further thedebates on selected controversial issues connected to the theme of the day. Each sessionwill be chaired by one forceful character that will invite 2-3 attendees of his/her choiceto lead with a position statement, all other attendees being the panelists. The debatewill be forcefully moderated and irrelevant digressions will be cut off without mercy.Moderators will be also assigned a hopeless task to forge a consensus on critical issues.For these considerations, a format has been choosen that is less rigid than normal workshops toallow and encourage uninhibited exchanges and sometimes confrontation of different views.A design a central theme will be designed together with the speakers for each day.
