| The
2007 IEEE Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects Conference will be
held July 23-27, 2007 in Waikiki Beach, Honolulu, Hawaii at the
Hilton Hawaiian Village Resort. The conference features a technical
program consisting of eight to ten sessions of contributed papers
(both oral and poster) that describe the latest observations and
research results in radiation effects, an up-to-date short course
offered on July 23, a radiation effects data workshop, and an industrial
exhibit.
The conference hotel is located on Waikiki Beach in Honolulu on
the south-western side of the Hawaiian island of Oahu. Prof. Lloyd
Massengill of Vanderbilt University and his conference committee
are planning a complete technical and social program to maximize
opportunities for information exchange and networking in the area
of radiation effects on microelectronic and photonic devices, circuits,
and systems.
Supporters of the conference include the Defense Threat Reduction
Agency, Sandia National Laboratories, Air Force Research Laboratory,
the NASA Electronic Parts and Packaging Program, NASA Living With
a Star Program, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Micro-RDC, Aerospace
Corporation, ST Microelectronics, BAE Systems, Honeywell, and Aeroflex
Colorado Springs.
TECHNICAL PROGRAM
Prof. John Cressler of Georgia Tech, Technical Program Chairman,
with the support of the technical committee, is assembling an outstanding
technical program. The session chairs for 2007 include both highly
experienced members of the radiation effects community, as well
as emerging technical leaders. Three exciting invited presentations,
all with a Hawaiian-locale theme, have been arranged.
The technical committee will meet in March 2007 for final paper
selection. The oral presentations and posters will be selected based
on a peer-review process in order to present the very latest and
best information on radiation effects findings. Although the deadline
for submitting summaries has passed (February 2007), a few late-news
papers describing new, unpublished results will be accepted and
will be presented in the poster session. The deadline for submission
of late-news papers is June 1, 2007. Please submit late-news summaries,
using the 4-page summary and 35-word abstract format described at
http:// www.nsrec.com .
The technical committee is composed of the conference technical
session chairs and the chairs for the Poster Session and the Radiation
Effects Data Workshop. Dale McMorrow, Naval Research Laboratory,
is the chair of the Poster Session, and Christian Poivey of NASA
Goddard is the chair for the Radiation Effects Data Workshop. The
Technical Session chairs are:
Basic Mechanisms of Radiation Effects

RADIATION EFFECTS DATA WORKSHOP
The Radiation Effects Data Workshop is a forum for the presentation
of radiation effects data on electronic devices and systems. Workshop
papers are intended to provide radiation response data to scientists
and engineers who use electronic devices in a radiation environment,
and for designers of radiation-hardened or radiation-tolerant systems.
Papers describing new simulation facilities are also welcomed.
SHORT COURSE
Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a one-day
Short Course on Monday, July 23. The theme for the 2007 short course
is: “Hardened Electronics for Tomorrow’s Strategic and
Space-Based Systems” and is being organized by Prof. Hugh
Barnaby of Arizona State University. Planned topics include: “Process
Technologies and Hardening,” “Radiation Effects and
Mitigation Strategies in Digital ICs,” “Radiation Effects
and Mitigation Strategies in Analog/Mixed Signal,” and “Hardening
at the System Level.” The course will be of interest both
to radiation effects specialists and newcomers to the field.
SOCIAL PROGRAM
Susan Crain of the Aerospace Corporation, Local Arrangements Chairperson,
is planning an exciting social program to enhance the informal exchange
of ideas and the networking among attendees, and to provide engaging
events for companions and family members not attending the technical
sessions. The companion events include both cultural and geography-themed
excursions. On Wednesday evening, the main conference social will
be the best luau on the island at Paradise Cove.
INDUSTRIAL EXHIBIT
An Industrial Exhibit, coordinated by Barry Templeton of ISDE, will
be included as an integral part of the conference. The exhibit,
held on Tuesday and Wednesday, will include exhibits from 35-40
exhibitors that represent companies or agencies involved in manufacturing
electronic devices or systems for applications in space or nuclear
environments, modeling and analysis of radiation effects at the
device and system level, and radiation testing. If you wish to exhibit,
please visit www.nsrec.com to obtain exhibitor information.
2007 HOTEL INFORMATION
The NSREC 2007 Conference Hotel “Block of Rooms” is
open at the Hilton Hawaiian Village for the July 23-27 conference.
The “Room Block” extends from the nights of July 21
through July 28. Corporate and government rooms are available at
special conference rates. The conference committee has also negotiated
room upgrades for those who desire them at significantly discounted
prices. The conference room rates are available until July 31, subject
to room availability. Government rate reservations will require
authorized travel orders or equivalent documentation to be presented
at the time of check-in.
The conference-negotiated room rates will be available until June
20, 2007 or when the block is sold out (whichever comes first).
Early reservations are strongly encouraged, especially if you plan
to extend your stay longer than the conference dates themselves,
as we expect the room block to fill quickly. Please visit www.nsrec.com
to obtain all the information for booking your NSREC reservation.
