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

拟议的ARW旨在提供一个自由交流和辩论观点、愿景和想法的论坛。这种形式既包括准备好的邀请演讲，也包括不受限制的意见交流和反驳。一些重要的名人将分享他们的观点，并就技术的走向和/或应该走向进行讨论。将有意寻求支持和反对的平衡代表。每天将由主要演讲者就一个或两个选定的主题进行演讲。随后是辩论和邀请其他与会者发言。所有的口头报告（在上午的会议上）都要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/个人讨论的形式展示。这一天将以晚上的小组会议结束，试图进一步就与当天主题有关的选定的有争议问题进行辩论。每次会议将由一位强有力的人物主持，他将邀请他/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。辩论将被有力地缓和，不相关的离题将被毫不留情地切断。主持人还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，我们选择了一种不那么死板的形式，允许和鼓励不受限制的交流，有时还会有不同观点的对抗。每天将与演讲者一起设计一个中心主题。

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.
