Hikone Prince Hotel Japan
January 24 through 26, 2000

The IEEE Computer Packaging Japan Committee would like to invite you to participate in the 2000 IEEE Packaging Workshop to be held at the Hikone Prince Hotel in Hikone City right on the beach of Lake Biwa in January at the start of the new Millennium.
The workshop covers the packaging technology from mainframe computers to personal devices. Also the committee has a plan of special sessions and a joint tour of Castle Hikone and a PWB manufacturing plant.
All attendees are expected to participate in the discussion during the workshop, as part of the give-and-take needed to keep the field healthy.
The location of the Hikone prince Hotel can be reached in 45 minutes by Shinkansen (fast train) from Osaka.
Guidelines: No proceedings will be published. Papers presenting new developments or critical overviews are being solicited.
