6th
International Conference on
Modeling and Analysis of Semiconductor Manufacturing (MASM) 2010
Baltimore, Maryland, USA
December 5-8, 2010
 |
The 2010 International
Conference on Modeling and Analysis of Semiconductor Manufacturing
(MASM) will again be a forum for the exchange of ideas and best
practices between researchers and practitioners from around the
world involved in modeling and analysis of high-tech manufacturing
systems. We are convinced of the worth and importance of the continuation
of the MASM events held in Tempe, Arizona in 2000 and 2002, Singapore
in 2005, Miami, Florida in 2008, and Austin, Texas in 2009.
The MASM 2010 conference will be fully
contained within the Winter Simulation Conference 2010 (WSC 2010),
the leading conference in discrete event simulation. WSC 2010
features a comprehensive program ranging from introductory tutorials
to state-of-the-art research and practice. WSC 2010 will take
place in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. All attendees of the MASM conference
will register for WSC 2010 at the same cost. All participants
of WSC 2010can attend MASM 2010 sessions.

While historically we sought to examine
the current IC semiconductor industry state-of-the-art, neither presenters
nor attendees need to be in the IC industry to participate. We are interested
in any methodologies, research, and/or applications from other industries
such as TFT-LCD, flexible displays, bio-chip, solid state lighting (LED),
and photovoltaics (PV) that might also share or want to share common and
new practices.
In the face of the challenges driven
by the likes of Moore's Law and "grid parity," continuous cost
reduction and technology evolution, novel theoretical developments and
empirical studies are needed to maintain profitable growth of high-tech
industries. In particular, to deal with increasing complexity in processes
and materials as well as shorter life cycles and faster ramps, improvements
at all levels are expected to contribute to future cost reductions and
industry growth. At the operational level, improvements to equipment and
operator productivity are as important as ever. At the system level, capital
effectiveness and operational improvements are expected to make very significant
strides. And at the strategic level, factory economics and supply chain
efficiency promises to magnify equipment and factory level advances upstream
and downstream in the business. To achieve this, economical analysis,
new statistical methods, and enabling computing techniques will be required
in addition to operations research methods. We invite you to present on
topics related to modeling and analysis that will help address these challenges.
The conference includes tutorials and
related software demonstrations within WSC 2010. A broad range of papers
is sought, including theoretical developments, applied research, and case
studies. Interested individuals within academia, government agencies,
equipment and material suppliers, manufacturers, students, contractors,
and other interested parties are encouraged to participate.
The conference will be built around the following three
tracks:
- Operational Modeling and Simulation
- Manufacturing Economics
- Photovoltaics (PV) and Solid State Lighting (LED)
Conference Location
WSC 2010 will be held in vibrant Baltimore, Maryland at the Marriott Waterfront
Hotel, December 5 - 8, 2010. The Marriott is located in the rejuvenated
Inner Harbor area of this exciting city, a short stroll away from Baltimore's
world-famous aquarium and many other attractions such as tall ships and
submarines, Orioles Park at Camden Yards, the Maryland Zoo as well as
the primary district for entertainment, shopping and dining. The hotel
is easily accessible from all three airports in the region, namely BWI,
Reagan National, and Dulles International. The Baltimore Marriott Waterfront
features 490 luxurious rooms with views of the harbor and downtown Baltimore.
Hotel amenities include high speed internet access, two restaurants, a
bar and a coffee shop, and a full service health club and spa with a modern
fitness center and pool.
