Workshop on Electronics, Photonics and Magnetics (EPM) - Network for Computational Nanotechnology (NCN), To Be Held October 11-12, 2018, Alexandria,VA

电子学、光子学和磁学(EPM) -计算纳米技术网络（NCN）研讨会将于10月11日至12日在弗吉尼亚州亚历山大的假日酒店举行，它将允许讨论与支持电子学、光子学和磁学领域的计算工具开发相关的问题。研讨会将邀请该领域的主要研究人员讨论当前的技术状况，概述允许纳米/量子器件有效计算的途径，并提出，优先考虑现实的研究和开发方法，这些方法可以导致计算纳米技术团队在电子学，光子学和磁学方面的努力。将有机会就支持该领域的计算工具的发展进行信息交流和讨论，并代表这些工具的用户群体。最重要的将是确定电子、光子学和磁学节点的可能方式，该节点将允许通过NSF的NCN网络平台在全球范围内有效地开发新工具和传播内容。这种类型的计算和模拟工具将有可能被用于将纳米科学和工程转化为应用，并影响未来的电路和系统，以应对重大挑战。将举行几次全体会议，概述每个领域的技术现状。此外，全体会议将为以上述四个主题为中心的分组会议的演讲和讨论奠定基础。每个分组会议将有几位额外的演讲者，他们将专注于与四个不同主题相关的具体主题的细节。将编写一份白皮书，概述研究现状、机遇和挑战以及重点研究和发展方向。预计该研讨会将在确定未来系统的新型电子、光子和磁性设备的研究新方向方面发挥关键作用。准备的白皮书将提供给所有感兴趣的各方，并将使更广泛的社区更好地了解建模和计算领域及其应用。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Workshop on Electronics, Photonics and Magnetics (EPM) - Network for Computational Nanotechnology (NCN) will be held on October 11-12 at the Holiday Inn, Alexandria, VA. It will allow to discuss issues related to development of computational tools to support the field of electronics, photonics and magnetics. The Workshop will host leading researchers in the field that will discuss the current state of the art, outline the pathways that allow efficient computation of nano/quantum devices, and propose, prioritize realistic research and development approaches that can lead to Computational Nanotechnology team efforts on Electronics, Photonics and Magnetics. There will be opportunities for information exchange and discussions on the development of computational tools to support the field as well as representing the community of users of these tools. Of major importance will be to determine possible ways a Node on Electronics, Photonics and Magnetics will allow efficient development of new tools and content dissemination worldwide via NSF's NCN Cyber Platform. Computation and simulation tools of this type will then be possible to be employed for turning nanoscale science and engineering into applications and impact future circuit and systems responding to grand challenges. There will be several plenary talks the will outline the state of the art in each area. Moreover, the plenary session will set the stage for the presentations and discussions in the breakout sessions that will be centered on the above mentioned four main themes. Each breakout session will feature several additional speakers that will focus on the details of specific topics related to the four different themes. A white paper will be prepared that outlines the current state of research, the opportunities and challenges, and the priority research and development directions. The Workshop is expected to play a key role in identifying new directions for research on novel electronic, photonic and magnetic devices for future systems. The white paper to be prepared will be made available to all interested parties and will allow better understanding of the modeling and computation field and its applications to a broader community.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
