The International Workshop on Computational Electronics (IWCE) covers all aspects ofadvanced simulation of electronic transport and optoelectronic processes in semiconductorsand semiconductor devices based on both inorganic and organic materials. The scientificprogram consists of invited lectures, contributed talks, and poster presentations. The workshopis held in a single-session format and is intended to be an international forum for discussions onthe current trends and future directions of computational electronics. The 15th InternationalWorkshop on Computational Electronics (IWCE 2012) will be held between May 22 and May25, 2012 at the University of Wisconsin ? Madison. In recent years, the IWCE community hasbeen increasingly active in the field of energy harvesting, especially thermoelectrics. Therefore,at IWCE 2012 there will be a companion two-day "School on Phonon Dynamics, Heat Transfer,and Thermoelectric Phenomena in Nanostructures" held May 21-22, 2012 before the workshop.Funding is requested to support student participation at the IWCE conference and thePhonon School. The grant will be used to issue student travel awards that will cover lodgingand registration fees up to $750 per student. Awards for 20 students will be provided by thisgrant. Following the program committee's review of all submitted abstracts, authors of the topranked student abstracts will be selected as the travel award recipients. In the case of multiplesimilarly ranked abstracts, priority for the travel award will be given to an underrepresentedminority student or a female student.Intellectual merit. IWCE 2012 will draw particular attention to the frontiers of computationalelectronics that connect to materials science, physics, and energy applications. Three focussessions, with only invited talks, and the Phonon School will offer an infusion of potential newresearch directions for the whole community. There is a lot of challenging computational work tobe done in spintronics, thermal transport in nanostructures, and materials for energyapplications. This workshop will serve as a starting point for many exciting avenues and anevolution of the topics addressed by the computational electronics community. In addition, witha strong focus on thermal and thermoelectric phenomena, IWCE is poised to make a bridgebetween the heat transfer and electronics communities, which will strengthen both in the questfor nanomaterials solutions to energy problems.Broader impacts. By enabling students to take part in the conference, we will be help the newgenerations of researchers to come onto the stage early in their career and be recognized fortheir work among peers and senior researchers. This grant will enable 20 students to attend theconference, thereby increasing student participation, improving their exposure in theprofessional community, and benefiting their careers in the long term. We will ensureparticipation of women and underrepresented minority scientists as invited speakers at theevent. Prominence of these role models will have a beneficial effect on the female and minoritystudents whose participation at the IWCE will be supported by this grant.

国际计算电子设备（IWCE）涵盖了基于无机材料和有机材料的半导体和半导体设备中电子传输和光电工艺的所有方面。科学计划包括邀请的讲座，贡献会谈和海报演示。该讲习班以单课格式举行，旨在成为一个国际论坛，讨论当前趋势和计算电子的未来方向。第15届计算电子工程（IWCE 2012）将于2012年5月22日至5月25日在威斯康星大学举行？麦迪逊。近年来，IWCE社区Hosbeen在能源收集领域越来越活跃，尤其是热电学。因此，在2012年的IWCE，将在2012年5月21日至22日举行的为期两天的“纳米结构中的语音动力学，传热和热电现象”为期两天的“学校学校”，并要求资助以支持学生参加IWCE会议和Phonon School的学生参与。该赠款将用于颁发学生旅行奖，该奖项将支付每名学生最高750美元的Lodging和注册费。 This Grant将为20名学生提供奖项。在计划委员会对所有提交的摘要进行审查之后，将选出最佳学生摘要的作者作为旅行奖奖。对于多重类似的摘要，旅行奖的优先级将授予代表性不足的学生或女学生。 2012年，IWCE将特别注意与材料科学，物理和能源应用相关的计算电子学的前沿。三个专注力，只有受邀的会谈，而呼语学校将为整个社区提供潜在的Newerearch指示。在旋转型，纳米结构中的热运输和能量涂抹材料方面，有很多挑战性的计算工作。该研讨会将成为许多令人兴奋的途径和计算电子社区介绍的主题的起点。此外，IWCE强烈关注热电和热电学现象，因此有望在传热和电子群落之间建立一个桥梁，这将在纳米材料解决方案方面加强对能量问题的解决方案。通过使学生能够参加会议，我们将帮助研究人员的新生命力在职业生涯的早期进入舞台，并因同龄人和高级研究人员的工作而受到认可。这项赠款将使20名学生能够参加会议，从而增加学生的参与，改善他们在专业社区中的接触，并从长远来看使他们的职业受益。我们将确保按照TheEvent的邀请发言人的邀请，确保妇女和代表性不足的少数族裔科学家。这些榜样的突出性将对女性和少数族裔的参与将得到这笔赠款的支持。
