The conference will cover all aspects of advanced simulation of electronic transport in semiconductors and semiconductor devices, particularly those which use large computational resources. The scientific programme, organised in a single-session format, will consist of invited lectures, contributed talks, and poster presentations.

The workshop is intended to be an international forum for discussions on the current trends and future directions of computational electronics. The emphasis of the contributions will be on interdisciplinary aspects of Computational Electronics, encompassing Applied Physics, Engineering and Applied Mathematics. Active participation of graduate students, including student presentations, is strongly encouraged.
