ECCS/NSF Workshop on Quantum,
Molecular and High Performance Modeling
and Simulation for Devices and Systems
April 16-17, 2007
ECCS has identified a new thrust area in Quantum, Molecular and High
Performance Modeling and Simulation for Devices and Systems (QMHP) in
its core program. The main purpose of this thrust area is to
capture scientific opportunities that will result from new fundamental
cross-cutting research involving three core research communities: (1)
experts in modeling and simulation of electronic devices and systems;
(2) high performance computing relevant to devices and systems; and (3)
the quantum many-body principles relevant to devices and systems. ECCS
is especially interested in learning how work in these areas could
enable whole new classes of systems or devices, beyond what is already
under development in existing mainstream research. The workshop will
identify technical areas which will enable fundamental breakthroughs in
the future.
Modeling and simulation in the electronics and optoelectronics areas,
in general, have already resulted in important fundamental scientific
understanding and advances in design and development of devices and
systems. With the increasing emphasis on the next generation of
devices and systems at the nano, micro, and macro scales and the
interdisciplinary nature of the research, it is imperative that we
explore new mathematical models and simulation techniques. This
workshop will provide a better understanding of unmet emerging new
opportunities to improve modeling, simulation and design techniques for
hybrid devices and systems.
