The selected papers will be automatically assigned the "Invited Paper" status, and Selection Committee will approach the invited authors at the meeting. The selection committee will also serve as guest editors.  Please download the Instructions for Preparing a Camera-Ready Manuscript. The Special Issue of the IJHSE&S will be also re-published as a hard cover book by World Scientific, Inc.

Objective
of WOFE: 

The aim of the workshop is to bring together leading scientists and engineers who work at the frontiers of electronic devices and circuits, yet emerging from traditionally separated fields with different professional background. 

Conference Theme: 

Frontiers in Electronics: Silicon and Beyond 

Philosophy
of WOFE: 

Rapid pace of electronic technology evolution compels a merger of such technical areas as low-power digital electronics, microwave power circuits, optoelectronics, etc., which collectively have become the foundation of today's electronic technology. The Workshop aims at encouraging active cross-fertilization of the different "species" in this electronic planet. The WOFE will gather experts from academia, industry, and government agencies to review the recent exciting breakthroughs and their underlying physical mechanisms. The program committee invites discussions of controversial issues, provocative views, and visionary outlooks. Debates on the future trends and directions and the market pulls as well as the necessary policy and infrastructure changes are encouraged. Attempts will be made by the committee to solicit alternative views and rebuttals.
