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

计划举办的WOFE-04讲习班是1997年1月在西班牙特内里费岛的拉克鲁斯港举办的WOFE-97讲习班和5月31日举办的WOFE-99讲习班的续集。6月4日在法国的维拉德·德·兰斯和在维尔京群岛的圣克罗伊举行的WOFE-2002。研讨会的目的是将处于电子设备和电路研究和开发前沿的顶尖科学家和工程师聚集在一起。超低功耗数字电子学、微波功率电路和光电子学已成为当今电子技术的基础。然而，它们是从传统上相互隔离的领域中脱颖而出的，而且在很大程度上仍受到不同领域培训的专家的追捧。然而，电子技术发展的快速步伐正在推动这两个传统上分离的领域的合并。研讨会的主题包括：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》(IJHSES)的特刊上，并将作为精装书出版。会议过程将包括从会议所有口头和海报演示文稿中挑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性的头脑和领先的专家，回顾该领域最新和令人兴奋的突破，联系这些进展的潜在物理机制，以及就未来趋势和方向、市场拉动以及必要的政策和基础设施变化交换意见。拟议活动产生的更广泛的影响是，实现电子和通信研究不同领域的积极交流，汇聚这些领域的资源和专门知识，并产生对该领域产生持久影响的高质量的会议记录。

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.
