(I am forwarding a message from the organizers of PRIME conference,
2009).

Subject: 5th IEEE Conference on PhD research in microelectronics and
electronics 2009

Dear all,

The 5th IEEE Conference on PhD research in microelectronics and
electronics, PRIME 2009 (www.prime2009.org) in Cork Ireland, invites
submissions of four-page papers from Ph.D. students.

The objectives of PRIME are:

* to encourage favourable exposure to Ph.D. students in the early
stages
of their careers,
* to benchmark Ph.D. research in a friendly and cooperative
environment,
* to enable sharing of students’ and supervisors’ experiences
of
scientific and engineering research, and
* to connect Ph.D. students and their supervisors with companies
and
research centres.

The first author/presenter of each paper must be a Ph.D. student
(with no
more than three authors per paper).

The IEEE Circuits and Systems (CAS) Society [Region 8] sponsors this
conference. All papers presented at PRIME 2009 will be published in
the
IEEE Xplore database.

In addition to the submitted papers, there will be keynote talks,
short
courses, panel discussions, a tour of an integrated circuit
manufacturing
facility, and a company fair to allow Ph.D. students to make contact
with
industries and other research institutions.

Call
for Papers attached to this email.



Regards,
Michael Peter Kennedy (General Chair of PRIME 2009)
