BANNOCKBURN, Ill. — IPC—Association Connecting Electronics Industries is officially announcing its call for papers for its IPCWorks 2005 technical conference, to be held October 27, 2005, in Las Vegas, Nev. The theme this year is, "What's in Your Future?" and conference topics will center around lead-free, using materials declaration information to improve recycling, embedded technology and materials.
"Participating in the IPCWorks 2005 Technical Conference is a great way for companies to gain visibility within the industry. Many industry leaders use the research and findings of the conference proceedings when developing standards and guidelines," claims Jean Hebeisen, IPC's director of professional development.
IPC is seeking papers from the following topics:
Lead-free: implementation of lead-free; whisker failures, formation, mitigation, etc.; reliability, such as temperature, cycling data, tin-whisker evaluations, etc.; lead-free solderability; finishes alternative to HASL—organic solder protectants, immersion tin, immersion silver, electroless nickel/immersion gold, palladium, lead-free solder leveling, etc.; Using materials declaration information to improve recycling: environmental issues in recycling; RoHS compliance; materials declaration practices (data model, .pdf-based form, business process, required IT technology, trial results, etc.); status of standards activity; Materials: new materials for PCBs; technology development; materials for design; new dielectric materials (ceramics, biomedical materials, soft materials, nano materials, etc.); new material, technology and waste treatment for environmental protection; Embedded technology: passives; actives; design; embedded or integrated components fabrication; embedded in flexible circuits; and materials.Paper presentations should be 30-45 minutes in length, non-commercial in nature and focus on technology, as opposed to a product "pitch". Abstracts that detail case histories, field data, new technologies/innovations or research and findings must be received by June 15, 2005. Abstracts should summarize problems and resolutions, methods used, results of experiments and benefits to the industry. If an abstract is selected, technical papers and visuals will be due on September 15, 2005.
