Workshop on Electronic, Photonic, Electro-Optical, and Electro-Magnetic Materials October 6 & 7 , 1999 CALL FOR PAPERS Sparkman Center Auditorium Redstone Arsenal, AL OBJECTIVE: The objective of this workshop is to provide a forum for reviewing progress and identifying research gaps in electronics and electro-optical materials essential for achieving DOD goals in air platforms and missiles. Key smart weapons and air platforms hardware technologies are strongly dependent on a strong research base in electronics and electro-optical and electro-magnetic materials including integrated optics, fiber optics, detector materials, window materials optoelectronic devices, integrated microwave and millimeter wave integrated circuits and others. POTENTIAL TOPICS: • Computational Design and Predictive Properties of Materials • Characterization of Electro-Magnetic Properties of Materials • High Temperature Superconducting Materials • Tunable Optical Polymers and Holographic Materials • Uncooled Infrared Detector Materials • Electro-Magnetic Window Materials • Photonic Bandgap Materials • Indium Phosphide and Gallium Arsenide Technology • Fiber Optics and Integrated Optics Materials • Materials Issues in MEMS and MOEMS • Progress in Mercury Cadmium Telluride • Device Hardening Technology ATTENDANCE: The Workshop is open to industry, academia, and government. One session of the workshop may be classified SECRET. Further information will be available regarding this issue. The remainder of this workshop will be UNCLASSIFIED. However, attendance is restricted. The workshop is open to U.S. citizens and non-citizens who are approved by the Department of Defense. Persons who are not citizens of the U.S. or represent a foreign entity must make a formal request to attend the workshop through their embassy sixty days in advance for approval by the Department of the Army, Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence. ALL U.S. CITIZENS MUST PROVIDE PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP AT WORKSHOP. THIS MEANS THAT YOU MUST BRING YOUR PASSPORT, CERTIFIED BIRTH CERTIFICATE OR CERTIFICATE OF NATURALIZATION. THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS REQUIREMENT. All Government employees must present their Government picture ID badge. Each non-Government person planning to attend the workshop must present a photo ID and a copy of a properly executed DoD Form 2345, "Export Controlled Technical Data Agreement" authorizing their organization access to expert controlled material. Those unfamiliar with the procedure of DoD 2345 may contact the Defense Logistics Services Center (DLSC) at 1-800-352-3572 for assistance. ABSTRACTS: Prospective speakers must submit UNCLASSIFIED abstracts of approximately 300 words. Abstracts must include the title, author(s), complete return address, telephone number, fax number, and e-mail address. Authors should state potential applications, if applicable, and indicate which of the topic areas listed categorize their abstracts. The abstracts must be received no later than June 11, 1999. Authors will be notified of paper acceptance no later than July 2, 1999. A final presentation must be provided for inclusion into the final proceedings no later than September 24, 1999.
