Architectures for Silicon Nanoelectronics and Beyond - A Workshop to Chart Research Directions, sponsored by the National Science Foundation, with additional support from the Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC), the Oregon Nanoscience and Microtechnologies Institute (ONAMI), and Portland State University (PSU), was held at University Place on the PSU campus on September 13-14, 2005. This workshop brought together a diverse group of experts in advanced computer and information processing technologies and applications, advanced CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor, pronounced see-moss), and emerging nanotechnologies to chart a research vision for a revolutionary path in system architectures for the coming decade. The goal of the workshop was to produce a report on research directions that can be used to develop funding programs in this area.

Over 55 industry and academic researchers attended the workshop. Dan Hammerstrom, Associate Dean for Research in PSU’s Maseeh College of Engineering and Computer Science and professor of electrical and computer engineering, helped organize the workshop.
