August 17-19, 2016, Daegu, South Korea
————————————————————————————————————————————

* SCOPE: The topics of NVMSA 2016 cover the research and development advances in both mainstream and emerging NVMs. The event is designed to foster interaction and presentation of early results, new ideas and speculative directions. Thus, NVMSA will combine the presentations of the papers accepted from the regular submissions as well as a number of invited talks from researchers in academia, technologists from industry, and case studies on the use of NVMs. 

Please check the full program made available on the conference websites at https://sites.google.com/a/camelab.org/nvmsa-2016/program for details about the presentations, poster, and keynotes.

* VENUE: NVMSA 2016 will be held at the Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DIGST). 

For more information of DIGST, please follow this link at https://sites.google.com/a/camelab.org/nvmsa-2016/venue
