Conference Technical Program

Conference Announcement

The Nanotech 2002 Conference will be held at the San Juan Marriott Resort and Stellaris Casino, San Juan, Puerto Rico, U.S.A. Located on the beach in downtown San Juan, this world class resort offers the tropical atmosphere you expect when you dream of your ideal Caribbean Island vacation. The conference will start Sunday late afternoon with registration and reception, and adjourn Thursday afternoon. Technical sessions, and the vendor exhibition run Monday through Thursday. In addition to the Conference Technical Program, several social activities are being planned at this world class resort, to allow attendees ample opportunity to enjoy this tropical island.

Objectives

With the continued miniaturization and blending of technologies, advanced computational techniques in the nano and micro regimes are paramount in the advancement of all high technology regardless of its traditional domain. The ICCN provides a forum for the interdisciplinary blending of computational efforts in biology, chemistry, physics and materials, founded on inherently similar atomistic-modeling approaches but applied towards traditionally distinct disciplines. MSM provides a forum for the interdisciplinary blending of computational efforts in the microelectronic and MEMS disciplines, which require an inherent system approach for design but are rapidly becoming more dependent upon computational nanoscience for basic input. The blending of the basics of computational nanoscience and the system-level requirements of microsystem modeling are a requirement for the future of computational based technology design. The blending of these two domains will start at the joint conferences MSM and ICCN in which joint sessions and overlapping topics and workshops will be developed specifically to prepare the simulation community for advancements in applied computational research, regardless of the application domain.
