It features a comprehensive program ranging from state-of-the-art research to recent case studies demonstrating the relevance of these techniques for Smart Manufacturing.<\/p>\n<p>For 2023 we are asking not just for Full Research Papers but also for relevant Industrial Case Studies illustrating the benefits that have been achieved with novel methodologies and solutions. These Industrial Case Study presentations will be fully integrated into the respective MASM application track but will only require a 3-page \u201cExtended Abstract\u201d and have shorter submission lead times to facilitate participation from the industry. Unlike Full Research Papers, Extended Abstracts will appear only in the INFORMS Simulation Society archives but not in the ACM and IEEE digital proceedings.<\/p>\n<p>The MASM 2023 conference will take place in San Antonio, Texas. San Antonio and nearby Austin are home to many players of the semiconductor and electronics supply chain. The San Antonio Marriott Rivercenter is located on the beautiful waterfront within walking distance of historical sites.<\/p>\n<p>We are looking for high-quality academic and applied research and relevant industrial case studies at all levels of Semiconductor Manufacturing.<\/p>\n<p>At the equipment and process level, we would like to cover various aspects of Equipment Maintenance and Productivity, Quality and Advanced Process Control (Statistical Process Control, Fault Detection and Classification, Run To Run, Virtual Metrology, etc.), but also how to handle and exploit the huge amount of data generated in wafer fabs (Big Data). As such we also invite submissions from leading Semiconductor Equipment Manufacturers.<\/p>\n<p>At the shop-floor level, optimized WIP management, dispatching, scheduling and sampling of lots or qualification management of products on machines remain critical in particular when handling complex constraints.<\/p>\n<p>At the factory level, it is important to develop efficient transportation and storage policies, production and capacity planning approaches, in order to reduce cycle times and time-to-market.<\/p>\n<p>At the strategic level, demand planning, factory economics and cost modeling, new product introduction, and supply chain efficiency are important topics to support the business.<\/p>\n<p>We invite participants to present on all topics related to modeling and analysis that will help address these challenges. We also welcome contributions that integrate decisions or information at different decision levels which is becoming a must. These various goals will be attained through new advanced control and statistical methods, novel computing techniques, methods from artificial intelligence, and operations research methods.<\/p>\n<p>While the MASM Conference is mostly focused on the current semiconductor industry state-of-the-art, neither presenters nor attendees need to be in the IC industry to participate. We are interested in methodologies, research and\/or applications from other related industries such as TFT-LCD, flexible displays, bio-chip, solid state lighting (LED), and photovoltaic (PV) that might also share or want to share common and new practices. Interested individuals within academia, government agencies, equipment suppliers, manufacturers, students, contractors, and other interested parties are encouraged to participate.<\/p>\n<p>All attendees of the MASM Conference will register for Winter Simulation Conference at the same cost. In turn, all participants of WSC can attend the respective MASM sessions.<\/p>\n<p>Each accepted paper and case study presentation must have a separate, paid registration. Only under highly unusual circumstances, and at the discretion of the conference leadership, will an author be allowed to present more than one paper on a single registration. Authors wishing to do so must contact the Program Chair by September 1, clearly describing which papers the authors wish to present under the single registration, and why an exception to the conference policy is warranted. Unless permission is granted, an author planning to present two papers will be required to pay for two registrations.<\/p>\n<p>Authors of high-quality submissions of Full Research Papers will also have the opportunity to submit considerably extended versions of their MASM contributions to <em>IEEE Transactions on Semiconductor Manufacturing<\/em>.<\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                    <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col3-1 tb_g8l7799 last\">\n                    <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_izyw532   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n        <h2>Important Dates<\/h2>\n<h3>Full Research Papers:<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003087;\"><strong>Immediately:<\/strong> <\/span>Submission open<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003087;\"><strong>April 7, 2023:<\/strong><\/span> Submission due<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003087;\"><strong>April 28, 2023:<\/strong><\/span> Submission due for invited papers<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003087;\"><strong>June 2, 2023:<\/strong><\/span> Notification of acceptance<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003087;\"><strong>July 2, 2023:<\/strong> <\/span>Camera-ready paper due<\/p>\n<h3>Extended Abstracts for Industrial Case Studies:<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003087;\"><strong>May 1, 2023:<\/strong><\/span> Submission open<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003087;\"><strong>August 4, 2023<\/strong>:<\/span> Submission due<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003087;\"><strong>September 1, 2023:<\/strong><\/span> Notification of acceptance<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003087;\"><strong>September 15, 2023:<\/strong><\/span> Camera-ready abstract due<\/p>\n<p>Please follow the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/meetings.informs.org\/wordpress\/wsc2023\/authorsubmission\/\" data-feathr-click-track=\"true\" data-feathr-link-aids=\"[&quot;622fa93bb0ebf976bd76e19a&quot;]\">2023 WSC Author Kit<\/a>\u00a0to prepare your MASM 2023 Paper or Extended Abstract.<\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_msnx200   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n        <h3>Conference Organizers<\/h3>\n<p>John W.

It features a comprehensive program ranging from state-of-the-art research to recent case studies demonstrating the relevance of these techniques for Smart Manufacturing.<\/p> <p>For 2023 we are asking not just for Full Research Papers but also for relevant Industrial Case Studies illustrating the benefits that have been achieved with novel methodologies and solutions. These Industrial Case Study presentations will be fully integrated into the respective MASM application track but will only require a 3-page \u201cExtended Abstract\u201d and have shorter submission lead times to facilitate participation from the industry. Unlike Full Research Papers, Extended Abstracts will appear only in the INFORMS Simulation Society archives but not in the ACM and IEEE digital proceedings.<\/p> <p>The MASM 2023 conference will take place in San Antonio, Texas. San Antonio and nearby Austin are home to many players of the semiconductor and electronics supply chain. The San Antonio Marriott Rivercenter is located on the beautiful waterfront within walking distance of historical sites.<\/p> <p>We are looking for high-quality academic and applied research and relevant industrial case studies at all levels of Semiconductor Manufacturing.<\/p> <p>At the equipment and process level, we would like to cover various aspects of Equipment Maintenance and Productivity, Quality and Advanced Process Control (Statistical Process Control, Fault Detection and Classification, Run To Run, Virtual Metrology, etc.), but also how to handle and exploit the huge amount of data generated in wafer fabs (Big Data). As such we also invite submissions from leading Semiconductor Equipment Manufacturers.<\/p> <p>At the shop-floor level, optimized WIP management, dispatching, scheduling and sampling of lots or qualification management of products on machines remain critical in particular when handling complex constraints.<\/p> <p>At the factory level, it is important to develop efficient transportation and storage policies, production and capacity planning approaches, in order to reduce cycle times and time-to-market.<\/p> <p>At the strategic level, demand planning, factory economics and cost modeling, new product introduction, and supply chain efficiency are important topics to support the business.<\/p> <p>We invite participants to present on all topics related to modeling and analysis that will help address these challenges. We also welcome contributions that integrate decisions or information at different decision levels which is becoming a must. These various goals will be attained through new advanced control and statistical methods, novel computing techniques, methods from artificial intelligence, and operations research methods.<\/p> <p>While the MASM Conference is mostly focused on the current semiconductor industry state-of-the-art, neither presenters nor attendees need to be in the IC industry to participate. We are interested in methodologies, research and\/or applications from other related industries such as TFT-LCD, flexible displays, bio-chip, solid state lighting (LED), and photovoltaic (PV) that might also share or want to share common and new practices. Interested individuals within academia, government agencies, equipment suppliers, manufacturers, students, contractors, and other interested parties are encouraged to participate.<\/p> <p>All attendees of the MASM Conference will register for Winter Simulation Conference at the same cost. In turn, all participants of WSC can attend the respective MASM sessions.<\/p> <p>Each accepted paper and case study presentation must have a separate, paid registration. Only under highly unusual circumstances, and at the discretion of the conference leadership, will an author be allowed to present more than one paper on a single registration. Authors wishing to do so must contact the Program Chair by September 1, clearly describing which papers the authors wish to present under the single registration, and why an exception to the conference policy is warranted. Unless permission is granted, an author planning to present two papers will be required to pay for two registrations.<\/p> <p>Authors of high-quality submissions of Full Research Papers will also have the opportunity to submit considerably extended versions of their MASM contributions to <em>IEEE Transactions on Semiconductor Manufacturing<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h2>Important Dates<\/h2> <h3>Full Research Papers:<\/h3> <p><strong>Immediately:<\/strong> Submission open<\/p> <p><strong>April 7, 2023:<\/strong> Submission due<\/p> <p><strong>April 28, 2023:<\/strong> Submission due for invited papers<\/p> <p><strong>June 2, 2023:<\/strong> Notification of acceptance<\/p> <p><strong>July 2, 2023:<\/strong> Camera-ready paper due<\/p> <h3>Extended Abstracts for Industrial Case Studies:<\/h3> <p><strong>May 1, 2023:<\/strong> Submission open<\/p> <p><strong>August 4, 2023<\/strong>: Submission due<\/p> <p><strong>September 1, 2023:<\/strong> Notification of acceptance<\/p> <p><strong>September 15, 2023:<\/strong> Camera-ready abstract due<\/p> <p>Please follow the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/meetings.informs.org\/wordpress\/wsc2023\/authorsubmission\/\" data-feathr-click-track=\"true\" data-feathr-link-aids=\"[&quot;622fa93bb0ebf976bd76e19a&quot;]\">2023 WSC Author Kit<\/a>\u00a0to prepare your MASM 2023 Paper or Extended Abstract.<\/p>\n<h3>Conference Organizers<\/h3> <p>John W.
