We would like to invite you to submit a presentation and participate to the upcoming 2010 SPJW "Systems Packaging Japan Workshop" that will be held in Kyoto, Japan on January 25 - 27, 2010.
As is well known, Kyoto is one of the most historical cities in Japan with many Japanese traditional buildings, such as Buddhist temples, shrines and palaces. Some of them are designated World Heritage Sites; Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Byodo-in Temple, Kinkaku-ji Temple, Ginkaku-ji Temple and Nijo-jo Castle, for example. Historical and splendid Japanese cultures can be found everywhere in Kyoto.

In recent years, technological progress in packaging design and materials has become critical to allow the operation of systems at higher frequencies and obtain better performance. SPJW is held every other year and 2010 SPJW will be the thirteenth workshop since the first meeting, called "IEEE Japan Computer Packaging Workshop", was held in 1986. State-of-the-art technologies in all areas of systems packaging, ranging from LSI packages to super high performance system, will be covered in the workshop ( Workshop History [pdf,676kB] ).
In presentations during the workshop, the discussion time will be arranged to allow interactive and frank discussion among participants, with room for Q&A.
The special features of the workshop are as follows:

1. MEMS
2. Environmental Aspects
3. High Speed Signal Integrity
4. Digital Consumer Products & Mobile Information Systems, IT Network Systems
5. Advanced Packaging and Components
6. High Performance Servers
7. Advanced Materials

The welcome reception will be held at Daimonji, the Japanese restaurant located at the top floor of the venue.
Healthy and fantastic Japanese dishes will be served and beautiful night view of Kyoto city will be comfort participants.

Technical tour is scheduled on the last day of the workshop, planning to visit ATR (Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute International).
Advanced technologies of robots, humanoids, ring laser devices, brain activity analyses and vehicle communications will be demonstrated there.
