Conference Announcement
The ACRS Joint ICCN & <a href=www.cr.org/MSM2002/index.html>MSM 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.

Instructions for Authors
<font color=red>Extended Abstract Deadline: October 10<sup>th</sup>, 2001</font>
Instructions
Authors are invited to prepare abstracts, two pages in length,
including text and figures. Text should be placed on the first page,
figures occupying the second page. The abstract must explicitly
highlight the new aspects of the work and conclusions that can be drawn;
main results must be clearly indicated. The abstract shall be no more
than 500 words in length, using no smaller than 12 point type.
The abstract should include the paper title, author's name,
affiliation, address, fax and telephone numbers and e-mail.
Underline the presenting author and at the bottom of your abstract,
indicate the topic area (see list on <a href=http://www.cr.org/ICCN2002/../announce.html#topics>
announcement page) of your paper.
Abstracts will be reviewed and selected according to how well they
address the following questions:
<li>What are the significant new accomplishments? State
unambiguously whether modeling and simulation results have been
compared to experimental data, and provide details.</li>
<li>What is new in relation to previous work? Provide references to
relevant literature (including publications by the author's group).</li>
<li>What is the goal or motivation of the work?</li>
<li>What is the impact or significance of the results to the
semiconductor/sensor/actuator/microanalysis field?</li>
</ul>
Contributed papers will be considered for either oral or poster
presentation unless the authors specifically request the poster
session. Oral presentations will be allotted 20 minutes plus 5
minutes for discussion.

The following electronic file formats may be used for submission
of abstracts:
<li>PDF<sup>TM</sup></li>
<li>Microsoft Word<sup>TM</sup></li>
