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.
