The largest gathering in the field worldwide, MSM is the premier technical forum for presenting the latest research and development in modeling and simulation methods, tools and applications in the MEMS, microelectronic, semiconductor, sensor, materials and biotechnology fields.

The Nanotech 2004 Meeting, MSM & ICCN Conferences will be held at the Boston Sheraton Hotel and Copley Convention Center, Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A. Centrally located in Boston's popular Back Bay, this luxury property is just steps from some of the city's most popular attractions. The hotel is connected to the Prudential Center and upscale Copley Place Mall, offering more than 200 shops and restaurants, and is also just one block from famed Newbury Street, known for its designer boutiques.

The conference will start Sunday late afternoon with registration and reception, and adjourn Thursday afternoon. Technical sessions, run Monday through Thursday. Exhibits are open Tuesday through Wednesday. The conference Technical Proceedings, consisting of articles submitted by authors of both oral and poster presentations will, be distributed to participants at registration. In addition to the Technical Program, an exciting series of Social Events are being prepared to allow attendees ample opportunity to interact socially and enjoy the sights and sounds of Boston.

Objectives

The goal of MSM is to bring together researchers, designers, programmers and vendors involved in microsystem developments (MEMS microelectronic, semiconductor, sensor, materials and biotechnology fields). In an effort to dramatically shorten development time and reduce prototyping costs, simulation activities have experienced phenomenal growth, generating a large number of point solutions, as well as integrated tools. MSM provides a forum for microsystem simulation specialists, allowing them to be exposed to the state of the art modeling techniques currently implemented in academic or industrial research, encouraging a free exchange of ideas and generating synergies between adjacent specialties. Finally, MSM strives to help advanced modeling techniques diffuse into industry and research centers by organizing workshops, demonstrations and short courses.
