NSF-CISE-CCF-EMT Workshop on Emerging Models Technologies for Computations in NanoelectronicsProject SummaryNanotechnology is an exciting field with many potential applications. Its impact is already being felt in materials, engineering, electronics, medicine, and other disciplines. Current research in nanotechnology requires strong multi-disciplinary knowledge and emerging models technologies for computations in the field of nanoelectronics with promising. Nanoelectronics become the main research domain that successes in today?s microelectronics. It brings an unprecedented revolution in not only communications and computing, but also in other scientific and engineering fields such as nano-scale measurements in industrials, bioscience, medical and environmental sciences.A NSF workshop, funded by a NSF grant from the Emerging Models and Technologies (EMT) for Computation (EMT) Program was organized by Drs. Kathleen Meehan and Yong Xu, Virginia Tech. on October 15-16, 2007 in Arlington, Virginia. The primary objective of the workshop was to allow the current principal investigators and leading researchers in the field of nanoelectronic systems to review the impacts of the EMT Program for the nanoelectronics program element on various fronts: research, technology transfer culminating into better competitiveness of the USA and establishing new start-up companies, undergraduate and graduate education, promotion of cross-disciplinary teaching and research activities, training of engineers, and societal benefits, namely engendering enthusiasm amongst high school students and society in general. The workshop focused several challenge topics: molecular electronics, nanoarchitecurre, and CAD tools for uncertainty and defects in quantum electronics. The attendees also recommended NSF to create student exchange programs for information and experience sharing, to develop short course training, interdisciplinary conference/workshops with tutorials at different levels, and to create high-level lectures on the state-of-the-art research, and as well as interdisciplinary grant proposals for small but collaborative investigations.Based on the recommendations, the PI proposes to organize the need-based external NSF funded workshop to enhance the existing EMT Program in nanoelectronic systems research. The proposed workshop aims to providing an opportunity to share and develop education components. In addition to promote a series of short courses and lectures in nanoelectronics, the workshop will have a training session for undergraduate students, high school teachers of science and selective K12 students.The objectives of this education workshop is a great opportunity fro faculty to share their experience and course curriculum which are related to emerging model technologies for nanoelectronics and to discuss how the current research topics can be integrated into existing graduate credit courses, and to develop short and knowledge-based courses for undergraduate students, and how to create off school program to encourage K12 students and their teachers to participate in and involve to nanotechnology learning and exploration.The workshop will provide (1) basic courses about fundamental nanoelectronics in nanotechnology for K12, undergraduate and graduate students, (2) provide online, open-access repository and course curriculum developments for public; thus to promote college education in this interdisciplinary field, (3) Develop short courses for college students and PIs to learn multiple subjects and materials that are related to nanoelectronics, (4) provide advanced tutorials for workshop participations and organize a tutorial sessions, and (5) solicit scientific papers; and organize workshop technical presentation, poster sessions; and process workshop paper proceeding publication and selected paper recommended for journals.The intellectual merits of this proposal lie in the shortage of existing internal workshop and education program mechanism the multidisciplinary domain in nanoelectronics. The proposed workshop attempts to organize a national-recognized workshop in this domain and make it available not only to research institutes but also to public. There are three major scientific merits in this workshop. The first is to coordinate a workshop for education at all levels, and the second is to remain the state-of-the-art of technical tutorials and lectures in nanoelectronics, especially through EMT Program to provide the linkage between nano-computation promoted by NSF-CISE-CCF and other NSF programs. The third one is to promote nanoelectronics device inventions and its applications.The broader impact of this proposal is considered that the area of nanoelectronics has great potentials for future applications. Nanotechnology has emerged as a significant and exciting field, primarily with respect to the basic sciences, and will undoubtedly have a broad impact on nano-electronic devices, nano-structured materials, and nano-medicine in the near future. As a result, powerful nanoelectronics CAD design tools are needed to bring this technology to fruition and to stimulate the nanotechnology revolution. Consequently, the project bridges the research and development communities of nanotechnology and EMT. In addition, the proposed effort includes a training component at all levels, including courses and a nanotechnology education for science engineering undergraduate and graduate students in this nanoscience and technology fields, thus to increase the competitiveness for the nation.

纳米技术是一个令人兴奋的领域，具有许多潜在的应用。它的影响已经在材料、工程、电子、医学和其他学科中得到体现。当前纳米技术的研究需要强大的多学科知识和新兴的纳米电子学计算模型技术，具有广阔的应用前景。纳米电子学成为当今取得成功的主要研究领域。微电子学。它带来了一场前所未有的革命，不仅在通信和计算，而且在其他科学和工程领域，如工业、生物科学、医学和环境科学的纳米尺度测量。由美国国家科学基金会新兴模型和计算技术（EMT）项目资助的NSF研讨会由dr。2007年10月15日至16日，弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿，弗吉尼亚理工大学的凯瑟琳·米汉和徐勇。研讨会的主要目的是让当前纳米电子系统领域的主要研究人员和主要研究人员回顾EMT计划对纳米电子程序元素在各个方面的影响：研究，技术转移最终提高美国的竞争力，建立新的创业公司，本科和研究生教育，促进跨学科教学和研究活动，培训工程师，以及社会效益，即在高中生和整个社会中激发热情。研讨会集中了几个具有挑战性的主题：分子电子学，纳米结构，以及用于不确定性和量子电子学缺陷的CAD工具。与会者还建议NSF建立信息和经验分享的学生交流计划，发展短期课程培训，不同层次的跨学科会议/研讨会，建立最新研究的高水平讲座，以及为小型但合作的研究提出跨学科资助提案。基于这些建议，PI建议组织基于需求的外部NSF资助研讨会，以加强现有的纳米电子系统研究中的EMT计划。建议的工作坊旨在提供一个分享和发展教育组件的机会。除了推广纳米电子学的一系列短期课程和讲座外，研讨会还将为本科生，高中科学教师和选择性的K12学生提供培训课程。本次教育研讨会的目的是让教师分享他们与新兴纳米电子学模型技术相关的经验和课程课程，讨论如何将当前的研究课题整合到现有的研究生学分课程中，并为本科生开发短期的知识基础课程。以及如何创建校外项目来鼓励K12学生和他们的老师参与纳米技术的学习和探索。研讨会将提供(1)为K12、本科生和研究生提供有关纳米技术基础纳米电子学的基础课程，(2)为公众提供在线、开放访问的知识库和课程课程开发；因此，为了促进这一跨学科领域的大学教育，(3)为大学生和pi开发与纳米电子学相关的多种学科和材料的短期课程，(4)为参加研讨会的学生提供高级教程并组织辅导课，(5)征求科学论文；并组织车间技术展示、海报展映；并处理研讨会论文的程序出版和选定的论文推荐给期刊。该方案的智力优势在于纳米电子学多学科领域缺乏现有的内部研讨会和教育计划机制。拟议的讲习班试图在这一领域组织一个得到国家承认的讲习班，不仅向研究机构而且向公众提供。这次研讨会有三个主要的科学优点。第一是协调各级教育研讨会，第二是保持纳米电子学技术教程和讲座的最新水平，特别是通过EMT计划提供由NSF- cise - ccf和其他NSF计划推动的纳米计算之间的联系。三是促进纳米电子器件的发明和应用。这一提议的广泛影响被认为是纳米电子学领域未来应用的巨大潜力。纳米技术已经成为一个重要而令人兴奋的领域，主要是在基础科学方面，毫无疑问，在不久的将来，它将对纳米电子器件、纳米结构材料和纳米医学产生广泛的影响。因此，需要强大的纳米电子CAD设计工具来实现这一技术并激发纳米技术革命。因此，该项目连接了纳米技术和EMT的研究和开发社区。此外，提议的努力包括各级培训组成部分，包括纳米科学和技术领域的科学工程本科生和研究生的课程和纳米技术教育，从而提高国家的竞争力。
