| The
2007 IEEE Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects Conference will be
held July 23-27, 2007 in Honolulu, Hawaii, at the Hilton Hawaiian
Village. The conference features a Technical Program consisting
of ten sessions of contributed papers, both poster and oral, which
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. Lloyd Massengill,
Vanderbilt University, is General Chair.
This year’s conference will be held July 23-27, 2007, at the
Hilton Hawaiian Village Resort on beautiful Waikiki Beach in Honolulu,
Hawaii. A complete technical and social program is being planned
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, and the Jet Propulsion
Laboratory. NSREC also has new corporate supporters: BAE Systems,
Boeing, Micro-RDC, Honeywell, ST Microelectronics, and Aeroflex
Colorado Springs. Additional information on the conference is available
on the Web at http://www.nsrec.com.
TECHNICAL PROGRAM
The Technical Program Chairman, John Cressler, Georgia Tech, and
his program committee, have assembled an excellent set of contributed
papers that are arranged into nine sessions of oral and poster papers
and a Radiation Effects Data Workshop. The Workshop consists of
papers emphasizing radiation effects data on electronic devices
and systems and descriptions of new simulation and radiation test
facilities. In addition, there are three outstanding invited talks
of general interest to both conference attendees and their companions.
Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a one-day
Short Course on Monday, July 23 entitled Hardened Electronics
for Tomorrow’s Radiation Tolerant Systems. Chaired
by Hugh Barnaby, Arizona State University, this Short Course is
an excellent learning opportunity for those who are new to the radiation
effects community and need a quick introduction to the field, as
well as those who want to stay abreast of current issues. The Short
Course will start Monday morning with tutorials on Process
Technologies and Hardening and Radiation Effects and Mitigation
Strategies on Digital ASICs and FPGAs. Monday afternoon
will include tutorials on Radiation Effects on Analog
Integrated Circuits and Extreme Environment Design,
and Radiation Hardening at the System Level.
INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITS
This year’s sold-out Industrial Exhibit will feature the leading
suppliers of radiation hardened products, related materials, and
services. The Industrial Exhibit permits one-on-one discussions
between exhibitors and conference attendees on the latest in radiation-hardened
electronic devices, radiation analysis and test services, and radiation
test facilities and test equipment. If you need more information

SOCIAL EVENTS
Social events have been planned to give Conference attendees and
their guests many opportunities to discuss informally radiation
effects and to become better acquainted. Susan Crain (The Aerospace
Corporation), this year’s Local Arrangements Chairman, has
planned an extraordinary social program. The main conference social
on Wednesday night will be an unforgettable visit to the Paradise
Cove Luau. Attendees and guests will enjoy island activities, an
oceanfront dinner, and a spectacular show on the leeward coast of
O’ahu. In addition, we have planned two companion tours during
the day on Tuesday and Thursday, each with its own Hawaiian Island
theme.
Honolulu, Hawaii
NSREC will be held at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Resort. We are
quite confident you will have an ‘olu’olu (wonderful)
time at this world-renowned, award-winning resort situated directly
on the beach at Waikiki. The city of Honolulu has something for
everyone, from the history buff to the cultural connoisseur to those
desiring dining and dancing after a busy conference day. The island
of O’ahu is no less diverse, with eco regions ranging from
sandy beaches to rocky volcanic mountains to tropical rainforests
to lush agricultural plains – all within a short drive. There
will be culture, history, and excitement for the whole family.
INVITED SPEAKERS
Dr. Rolf-Peter Kudritzki, the Director for the Institute for Astronomy
at the University of Hawaii, will be speaking on Astronomy in Hawaii;
Mr. Cy Bridges, the Director of Culture at the Polynesian Cultural
Center, will be speaking on Polynesian History, Mythology, and Culture;
and Dr. Patricia Fryer, Professor of Marine Geology and Geophysics
in the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology at the University
of Hawaii, will be speaking on Volcanism in Hawaii.
