Workshop on Frontier in Electronics will be held in Aruba on December 17-22, 2004

计划中的WOFE-04讲习班是1997年1月在西班牙特内里费岛克鲁斯港举行的WOFE-97讲习班的续篇， 5月31日举行。 6月4日在法国的Villard de局域网和在维尔京群岛的圣克鲁瓦举行的WOFE-2002。研讨会的目的是汇集领先的科学家和工程师谁是在电子设备和电路研究和开发的前沿。超低功耗数字电子、微波功率电路和光电子已成为当今电子技术的基础。 然而，它们来自传统上分离的领域，并且仍然主要由在不同领域受过培训的专家进行。然而，电子技术的快速发展正在推动传统分离领域的合并。 研讨会的主题将包括：硅ULSI，纳米电子学，宽带隙和铁电器件，以及先进的器件概念。研讨会将于12月17日至22日在阿鲁巴举行。 WOFE.04会议记录将刊登在《国际高速电子与系统杂志》（International Journal of High Speed Electronics and Systems，IJHSES）的特刊上，并将以精装书的形式出版。会议论文集将包括从会议上所有口头和海报展示中选出的最佳原创论文。拟议活动的智力价值在于聚集了来自学术界、工业界和政府机构的一些最具创造力的头脑和领先专家，回顾了该领域最新和令人兴奋的突破，联系这些进步的基本物理机制，并就未来的趋势和方向，市场的吸引力，以及所需的政策和基建改变交换意见。 拟议的活动产生的更广泛影响是，在电子和通信研究的不同领域实现积极的相互促进，汇集这些领域的资源和专门知识，并产生将对该领域产生持久影响的高质量会议记录。

The planned Workshop WOFE-04 is a sequel to WOFE-97 held January 1997 in Puerto de La Cruz, Tenerife, Spain and WOFE-99 held May 31. June 4 in Villard de Lans, France and to WOFE-2002 in St. Croix, Virgin Islands. The aim of the workshop is to bring together leading scientists and engineers who are at the frontiers of electronic device and circuit research and development. Ultra low power digital electronics, microwave power circuits, and optoelectronics have become the foundation of today's electronics technology. Yet, they emerged from traditionally separated fields and are still largely pursued by specialists trained in different areas. However, the rapid pace of electronic technology evolution is propelling a merger of the traditionally separated fields. The workshop topics will include: silicon ULSI, nanoelectronics, wide band gap and ferroelectric devices, and advanced device concepts. The workshop will take place on December 17-22 in Aruba. Proceedings of the WOFE.04 will appear in the Special issue of International Journal of High Speed Electronics and Systems (IJHSES) and will be published as a hard cover book. The Proceeding will include best original papers selected from all oral and poster presentations at the meeting.The intellectual merit of the proposed activity is in gathering some of the most creative minds and leading experts from academia, industry, and government agencies, in reviewing the most recent and exciting breakthroughs in the fields, the underlying physical mechanisms that link these advancements, and in exchanging views on future trends and directions, the market pulls and the necessary policy and infrastructure changes. The broader impacts resulting from the proposed activity are in achieving active cross-fertilization of the different fields of electronic and communication research, in bringing together the resources and expertise in these fields, and in producing high quality proceedings that will have a lasting impact on the field.
