Announcement and Call for Participation
The largest gathering in the field worldwide, MSM is the premier
technical forum for presenting the latest research and development in
design, modeling and simulation methods, tools and applications in the
MEMS, microelectronic, semiconductor, sensor, materials and
biotechnology fields.
The Nanotech 2008 Meeting, MSM & ICCN Conferences, and the WCM workshop will be held at the Santa Clara Convention Center, Santa
Clara, California, U.S.A., in the heart of the silicon valley.
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 the venue.
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.

Joint Electronics and Microsystems Symposia
Reflecting the rapid growth of the Micro and Nano systems fields and the
commitment and success of the respective research communities, the
Electronics and Microsystems suite of symposia at Nanotech 2008
has evolved into a premier annual event in the Micro and Nano
technologies arena.
The MEMS & NEMS , Sensors & Systems , Micro & Nano
Fluidics and MSM - Modeling Microsystems symposia will jointly
provide a whole and comprehensive forum for a multidisciplinary
community, with presentations and topics for discussion ranging from
theoretical developments through design and fabrication to
industry-oriented applications.
Smarter and smaller and ever more complex systems are being dreamt of,
which combine micro and nano system technologies with intelligence,
power supply and communication ability, at the same physical scale. Such
integrated systems are to be primarily component based and, both the
whole and the composites subject to a variety of trends. The increasing
systems complexity and multidisciplinary pose strong challenges to the
engineers involved in the modelling and fabrication of micro and
nanosystems, electronics and wireless communication domains. The
Microsystems and Electronics strand will provide valuable networking and
interaction opportunities by successfully bringing together the four
Symposia above.
World-class researchers in several focused topics of MEMS and NEMS will
present their latest research results, allowing cross-disciplinary
exchange of knowledge to further advance both technological areas. MEMS
is naturally continuing its downsizing into Nanoelectromechanical
Systems but at the same time it is indispensable in constructing
complete Nano devices and systems. MEMS and Nanotechnology are becoming
highly complimentary technologies that will significantly impact various
large industries across the globe.
