2010 Workshop on
Innovative Devices and Systems (WINDS)
5 –
10 December 2010
Hapuna Beach Prince
Hotel, Kohala Coast, Big Island of HawaiÕi

The Workshop on Innovative Devices and Systems (WINDS) is a 4 1/2 day
meeting with morning and evening sessions, and with afternoons free for adhoc
meetings and discussions among participants.
WINDS follows the tradition and format of AHW (Advanced Heterostructure
Workshop). 2008 was a transition
year as the workshop name morphed from AHW to AHNW to WINDS in order to attract
more participation from industrial labs.
The format of each session involves one or two overview presentations
plus lively discussion (about 15 minutes for each paper) based on recent data.
To ensure enough time for discussion, short presentation of data is encouraged.
Each participant is expected to engage in these discussions and is
strongly encouraged to bring three to four overhead transparencies or a PC with
PowerPoint files showing most recent results that can be incorporated into the
discussions.
Titles,
introductions, summary and acknowledgements are strictly discouraged.
The total number of participants will be limited to around 80 to keep
the discussions lively in the single session.
