CONFERENCE: 2017 The Intersociety Conference on Thermal and Thermomechanical Phenomena in Electronic Systems Orlando, FL

ITherm是一个领先的科学和工程热，热机械和新兴技术与电子设备，封装和系统相关的国际会议。电子热管理的最新进展部分是由微处理器功率密度、功率半导体激光器和雷达放大器的增加所推动的。由于大功率电子系统的性能密度受到其冷却系统的严重限制，因此对复杂冷却机制的需求也随之增加。会议的目标是电子热管理社区通过组织五个特定的技术会谈的关键主题，包括航空航天热管理，ICE-Cool：芯片内/芯片间增强冷却，先进的光子学冷却解决方案，嵌入式芯片间/芯片内，冷却和微流体。此外，还将有六个技术专题讨论，分别涉及发光二极管（LED）封装、移动设备的热问题、微两相液冷系统、物联网（IoT）中的设计挑战、高导电性材料的x射线表征以及数据中心和新兴技术。会议的重点特点是一个额外的吸引力点，特别是对电子冷却感兴趣的年轻研究人员。会议将启动ITherm妇女与多样性分会的成立，为一年一度的聚会提供了一个绝佳的机会，可以在这个利基社区内建立宝贵的网络机会。虽然提高女性在ITherm会议上的参与度是该提案的直接目标，但这一努力也应导致增加西班牙裔、非裔美国人和残疾工程师群体的出席率。要求的支持将允许本科生、研究生、博士后研究员和年轻教师参加会议，并特别考虑少数民族和妇女。

ITherm is a leading international conference for scientific and engineering thermal, thermo-mechanical and emerging technologies related with electronic devices, packages, and systems. Recent progress on electronics thermal management has been motivated in part by increase in microprocessor power densities, power semiconductor lasers, and radar amplifiers. As the performance density of high-power electronic systems is severely limited by their cooling systems, their need for sophisticated cooling mechanisms increases concomitantly. The conference targets the electronics thermal management community by organizing five specific technical talks on critical topics including Aerospace Thermal Management, ICE-Cool: Intrachip/Interchip Enhanced Cooling, Advanced Cooling Solutions for Photonics, Embedded Inter/Intra-chip, Cooling, and Microfluidics. Also, there will be six technical panels about Light-emitting diode (LED) Packaging, Thermal Issues for Mobile Devices, Micro-Two-Phase Liquid Cooling Systems, Design Challenges in Internet of Things (IoT), X-ray Characterization of Highly Conductive Materials, and Data Centers and Emerging Technologies. The focused characteristic of the conference is an additional attractive point, especially to young researchers interested in cooling of electronics.The conference will launch the formation of the Women and Diversity Chapter for ITherm providing an excellent opportunity for an annual gathering that serves to establish invaluable networking opportunities within this niche community. While improving female participation at the ITherm conference is the direct target of the proposal, this effort should lead also to increasing attendance from the Hispanic, African-American, and disabled engineer groups. The requested support will allow undergraduate, graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and young faculty to participate in the conference, with special consideration given to minorities and women.
