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

拟议的ARW将提供一个自由交流和辩论观点、愿景和想法的论坛。这种形式既包括事先准备好的特邀演讲，也包括不受限制地交换意见和反驳的专题稿。一些关键人物将分享他们的观点，并领导关于技术走向和/或应该走向的讨论。支持和反对意见的平衡表达将被有意强调。每天，主要演讲者将在一个或两个选定的主题中就主题发表演讲。然后是其他参与者的辩论和特邀演讲。所有口头陈述(在上午的会议上)都集中在演讲者对未来方向的看法和预测、对重要新思想/方法的评估或批评，而不是他们自己的成就。演讲者被要求具有挑衅性和/或启发性。与会者取得的最新进展和取得的成果将在下午的会议上以海报和小组/个人讨论的形式介绍。当天结束时将举行晚间小组会议，试图进一步讨论与当天主题相关的选定争议问题的辩论。每一次会议将由一名强有力的人物主持，他/她将邀请2-3名与会者根据他/她的选择发表立场声明，其他所有与会者都是小组成员。辩论将得到强有力的缓和，不相关的离题将被切断。主持人还将被分配一项毫无希望的任务，以就关键问题达成共识。出于这些考虑，我们选择了一种不像普通研讨会那么僵化的形式，以允许和鼓励不同观点的不受限制的交流，有时甚至是对抗。每天将与演讲者一起设计一个中心主题的设计。

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.
