-====== Wigner Workshop/Session @ ISANN 2015 ======
+====== 1st International Wigner Workshop (IW2) and Special Session @ ISANN, Hawaii ======
+Our [[https://www.asu.edu/aine/ISANN15/WignerWorkshop.htm|1st International Wigner Workshop (IW2)]] has concluded. We had eight talks, seven speakers, three sessions, and additional participants from ISANN who joined our workshop. [[https://www.asu.edu/aine/ISANN15/documents/2015_iw2_booklet.pdf|A booklet is available]], containing the list of speakers, the program, the accepted abstracts as well as an overview of the recently published [[jcel_si_wigner|special issue of JCEL on Wigner functions]].
-We are in the planning stage of organizing a one day workshop on Wigner in conjunction with the [[https://www.asu.edu/aine/ISANN15/|2015 International Symposium on Advanced Nanodevices and Nanotechnology (ISANN)]], which will take place in **from November 29 to December 4, 2015 at the Hilton Waikoloa Resort on the big island of Hawaii, USA**.
+See you next year for the 2nd International Wigner Workshop!
+Here are a few photos taken at our workshop:

+We are organizing the [[https://www.asu.edu/aine/ISANN15/WignerWorkshop.htm|1st International Wigner Workshop (IW2)]] in conjunction with the [[https://www.asu.edu/aine/ISANN15/|2015 International Symposium on Advanced Nanodevices and Nanotechnology (ISANN)]], which will take place in **from November 29 to December 4, 2015 at the Hilton Waikoloa Resort on the big island of Hawaii, USA**.
 The idea is to use the one day workshop as a platform to discuss the more general physics/mathematics of Wigner functions and transport, and put the more applied talks, such as nanodevice simulation, tunneling, and some transport, into a special session of [[https://www.asu.edu/aine/ISANN15/|ISANN]] itself.  The idea of the workshop is to have two sessions of talks, either on the Friday, or on Friday and Saturday, just before [[https://www.asu.edu/aine/ISANN15/|ISANN]].  This will leave plenty of time for ad hoc discussions between the participants on a very relaxed basis without interruptions from the things that normally appear in every day life.

 ===== Venue =====
 The Waikoloa Resort area is about 20 miles north of the Kailua-Kona airport on the west side of Hawaii, and in the center of the Kohala coast, which is a very dry area with outstanding beaches.  There are direct flights to this airport from San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Phoenix.  You can also reach the airport through Honolulu, with many flights per day on Hawaiian Airlines.  A special rate has been negotiated with the Hilton Waikoloa Resort for rooms.  The big island has many climatic zones and is home to many waterfalls, the active volcano, and the observatories.  The locals are quick to say that when measured from their base (in the ocean), Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea are the highest mountains in the world!  The period from late November to March is also the season when the humpbacks winter in the central oceans, so they can often be seen off Hawaii in December.
