[mos-ak] Edinburgh on-line publications

I post an e-mail from Wladek Grabinski (MOS-AK), in the MOS-AK googlegroups:

The MOS-AK Edinburgh Workshop's presentations are available on-line
please visit:
http://www.mos-ak.org/edinburgh/

I would like to take this opportunity and thank all speakers and presenters for their valuable contribution to the MOS-AK/ESSDERC/ESSCIRC workshop.

Let me also acknowledge the workshop sponsors (Accelicon, Tanner, X-FAB and SUSS) for their generous financial support as well as the conference organizers for their support, smooth organization and perfect logistic of our modeling event, which is an unique platform for continuous promotion of local, European compact modeling activities.

You are more than welcome to attend and contribute to coming events:

On the way to Plastic computation

I've found (out of sheer luck, I must say) a very nice paper in the IEEE Circuits and Systems Magazine. The topic: Plastic electronics, one of my fixations, even if I think that it will be used mainly for large-area applications. The paper I'm talking about (On the way to plastic computation) is a quite complete paper, from fabrication to circuit design using a commercial soft (Cadence).

The only point I find improvable (a lot) is that they are not doing a good job in the references, and they miss a lot of the field. However, as I've said, the paper is very interesting (not for the technical aspects, but this is a magazine...), since it's the first time I see a paper presenting the full design cycle...
