The current activity of the volcano, Kilauea, on the big island of Hawaii does not effect the area of the island where the conference will be held. More information from the US Geological Survey and from the Hawaii Tourism Authority. The US Geological Survey also provides recent videos and webcams of the current volcano activities.

The Workshop on Innovative Nanoscale Devices and Systems (WINDS) is a week long, international, and interactive workshop designed to explore the fundamental properties of nanoscale devices and applications thereof. In particular, WINDS provides a forum for material, device, and characterization as well as experimental and modeling researchers to interact.

This workshop is composed of morning and evening sessions, with afternoons free for ad hoc meetings to encourage extended interaction and discussion among participants. It is the successor of the original WINDS and the International Symposium on Advanced Nanodevices and Nanotechnology (ISANN), which were held on alternate years. WINDS itself began as an outgrowth of the successful Advanced Heterostructures Workshop, which has a long history dating from the 1980s.

Every nanoscale device today is a heterostructure of one form or another. The properties of the interfaces often determine the functionality and properties of the nanoscale system. WINDS is an international, interactive workshop designed to explore the fundamental properties of such nanoscale heterostructures and potential device applications. Abstracts are encouraged in (but not limited to) the topics appearing in the adjacent list.
