The 2009 IEEE International Behavioral Modeling and Simulation Conference (BMAS 2008) will be held in San Jose, CA, on September 17-18, in conjunction with the 2009 Custom Integrated Circuits Conference (CICC), in the Doubletree Hotel in San Jose, at the heart of Silicon Valley.
BMAS addresses behavioral modeling and simulation for analog electronic circuits and systems. One of the main areas of topics is "Semiconductor Device Compact Modeling", which includes: " Compact device modeling lanuages and compilers", "Standard and new compact device models implemented in Verilog-A and VHDL-AMS", and "Compact device models for emerging technologies and topical issues (nano-devices, distributed thermal effect, leakaging issues, manufacturability, radiation effects, etc)".
The deadline for paper submission is May 18 2009.
For compact and behavioral modeling researchers, BMAS is no doubt a very interesting conference to attend, and for circuit designers, it is a very good complement to CCIC.

The duration of the grant will be for four years. The monthly salary will be about 1000 Euro/month. The position will start in January 2009.
The candidate should have a Bachelor or Master degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Telecommunication Engineering or Physics. A good background in Semiconductor Physics, Semiconductor Devices, or Integrated Circuit Design will be highly appreciated.
The work to be done by the candidate will be focused on the development of new techniques of characterization and modeling of novel advanced semiconductor devices, in particular III-V devices. It will be related to one European projects in which the hosting group participates.
Required documents for applicants
Applicants are required to send to the address specified below the following documents (in English or Spanish):
1) a full Curriculum Vitae (as complete as possible)
2) Copy of their diploma
3) copy of their passport
4) Academic certificate including their marks (it is important that the number of hours or credits of each subject appears). It is also very important that the document specifies what is the minimum mark for passing a given subject and what is the maximum mark that can be awarded.

Nano-Net 2009: International ICST Conference on Nano-Networks
18-20 October, 2009, Lucerne, Switzerland
The Nano-Net 2009 conference positions itself at the intersection of two worlds, namely, emerging nanotechnologies on one side, and Information & Communication Technologies on the other side. One of the standing questions that this conference addresses is: What are the new communication paradigms that derive from the transition from micro- to nano-scale devices? The convergence of nano-technologies with established and novel engineering disciplines such as communication and network theory, sensors and actuators, and biomedical engineering is expected to radically shift our notions about efficient system and network design. Nano- Net provides a unique multidisciplinary forum for the discussion of novel techniques in modeling, design, simulation, and fabrication of nano-scale systems.
The Nano-Net 2009 conference invites original technical papers that have not been published and are not currently under review for publication elsewhere. Contributions addressing subjects pertaining to nanotechnology and networking are solicited. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to the following:
- Emerging nano-devices and fabrication technologies
- Modeling and simulation of nano-devices and systems
- Nano-materials, nano-photonics
- Nano-electronics and architectures
- Reliability and fault-tolerance
- Nano-networks
- Nano-bio paradigms and applications
- Nanosensor Self-Organization
- Nano-mechatronics
- Emerging topics in nano-technologies
Important dates
- Workshop/Tutorial Proposals:May 31, 2009
- Paper Submissions: May 15, 2009
- Acceptance Notification:June 15, 2009
- Camera-Ready Version: July 15, 2009
- Nano-Net 2009 Conference: October 18-20, 2009

2009 IEEE International SOI Conference Deadline Extended
The 2009 IEEE International SOI Conference Committee has extended the deadline
for submission of papers to be considered for presentation at the conference to
be held in Silicon Valley, California this October until 29-MAY.
This year's SOI conference will be highlighted by exciting invited talks. Some
of the topics to be covered are Synopsis, Rambus and Freescale on SOI design, on
technology from IBM and IMEC discussing the extendibility of SOI
technology beyond node 22nm to 16nm and 11; Peregrine will discuss RF
applications while Corning will present Silicon on Glass; and Soitec and Leti
will discuss the enabling possibilities of molecular bonding towards 3D
integration and nanotechnology. With the momentum that SOI based technologies is
gaining, the SOI conference is the ideal forum to exchange and network. The SOI
conference is an enriching forum where not only digital and power IC electronics
is discussed but also expands discussion to wafer engineering and circuit
transfer techniques opening up a spectrum of new applications like 3D,
photonics, nano-technologies and devices architectures beyond CMOS.
Submissions should be sent to soipaper@bacminc.com. Further information about
the conference, including an abstract template, can be found on the conference
web site at www.soiconference.org, or you may call the conference manager at
310/305-7885.

OSC'09
OSC-09 includes sessions with presentations by invited speakers plus sessions with peer review papers, a poster session, and also an exhibition of leading organic semiconductor technology companies.
In addition, eight new pre-conference seminars covering a selection of popular topics will be held on Monday 28 September 2009. One seminar stream will be aimed at industry professionals to help them update and extend their knowledge, while a second stream will enable those new to the industry get up to speed. The invited speakers come from both academia and industry.
The Call for Papers will be published very soon. Topics include all aspects related to development, manufacturing and investment in organic semiconductor technologies and organic electronics. Besides, this year the conference will also explore the new opportunities offered by advances in carbon-based electronics.
OSC is not only attended by researchers in organic semiconductors, or organic electronics, but also by chief technology officers, senior technical staff, business leaders, investors, and manufacturers working in this promising field. Therefore, attending OSC there are great opportunities of business in all respects!
