7th International Workshop on Future Information Processing Technologies. To be held September 4-7, 2007 in Dresden, Germany.

目标：这项提议的目的是请求美国国家科学基金会为北美大学的一些参与者的参与提供部分支持。这将使一些初级教员能够参加第七届未来信息处理技术国际研讨会(IWFIPT)的智力优点：IWFIPT旨在预测信息技术在广泛领域的长期趋势。该论坛通常审查技术的潜在趋势以及新兴和不断发展的应用领域：固态技术；纳米技术；器件；电路；以及系统架构。与会者将确定信息处理前沿领域的研究机会，这些机会将促进进入21世纪和超越信息技术研究路线图的进展。研讨会的重点领域之一是预计在未来10到15年内基于CMOS的电荷传输设备的规模将结束，以及如何过渡到下一代纳米电子学。更广泛的影响：会议将在国际环境中建立不同学科和背景的研究人员之间的全球沟通联系和网络。它将促进富有成效的经验和思想交流。研讨会的结论将通过最后报告的形式提供给研讨会的与会者和赞助商。

Objective:The objective of this proposal is to request partial support from NSF for the participation of some of the attendees from the universities in North America. This will enable some of the junior faculty to attend the 7th International Workshop on Future Information Processing Technologies (IWFIPT)Intellectual Merit:The IWFIPT is designed to project long-term trends in information technologies across a wide spectrum of areas. This forum typically examines underlying trends as well as emerging and evolving areas of application for the technologies: solid state technology; nanotechnology; devices; circuits; and system architectures. The participants will identify research opportunities at the frontiers of information processing that will catalyze progress into the 21st Century and beyond the ITRS roadmap. One of the focus areas of the workshop is the anticipated end of scaling for charge-transport devices based on CMOS in the next 10 to 15 years and how to bridge into the next generation of nanoelectronics. Broader Impact: The conference will establish a global communication link and network between researchers from different disciplines and backgrounds in an international environment. It will nurture a fruitful exchange of experiences and ideas. The findings of the workshop will be made available as summaries through a final report to attendees and sponsors of the workshop
