As you may have heard from Mixi Nedjalkov, we are planning an initiative on Wigner Functions in science and engineering. This includes a special issue of the Journal of Computational Electronics and a workshop to be held at the Hilton Waikoloa Resort on the big island of Hawaii in late November and early December. However, we need to get a preliminary tally of those who plan to contribute to the special issue and/or to attend the workshop. The workshop will be held in conjunction with ISANN in two parts: (1) a workshop preceding ISANN on the Wigner Functions in Science, and (2) a special session of ISANN on Wigner Functions in Nanostructures.

While the web page for ISANN 2015 is not yet available, you can see the topics of interest for this conference at the ISANN 2013 web page. The dates for the 2015 conference are November 29-December 4, 2015. The workshop is tentatively scheduled for November 27-28, 2015 at the same site as ISANN. There is a block of rooms reserved at a price significantly below the standard rate for the Hilton resort. One gets to the Hilton by flying into the Kailua-Kona (KOA) airport on the big island. There are direct flights to Kona from several American cities. One can also fly into Honolulu from around the world and use one of the inter-islands airlines which offer service to Kona almost hourly.

PLEASE REPLY VIA EMAIL TO Ferry, David K. BY JANUARY 31, 2015 ON:

1. Do you plan to submit a paper to the special issue of JCEL?
2. Do you plan to attend either the special workshop on Wigner Functions in Science at the end of November, or the special session on Wigner Functions in Nanostructures at the ISANN conference in Hawaii?
