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

目的：本提案的目的是请求美国国家科学基金会为来自北美大学的一些与会者的参与提供部分支持。这将使一些初级教师能够参加第七届未来信息处理技术国际研讨会（IWFIPT）智力价值：IWFIPT旨在预测信息技术在广泛领域的长期趋势。该论坛主要探讨以下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;设备;电路;以及系统架构。与会者将确定信息处理前沿的研究机会，这将促进21世纪和超越ITRS路线图的进步。研讨会的重点领域之一是基于CMOS的电荷传输器件在未来10到15年内的预期规模，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为来自不同学科和背景的研究人员建立一个全球交流联系和网络。它将促进经验和思想的富有成果的交流。讲习班的调查结果将通过最后报告作为摘要提供给讲习班的与会者和赞助者

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
