EDITORIAL
Our management team is preparing to publish the 2016 annual report, the annual symposium in May, and the annual general meeting of members to adjust the focus in our practices and work. In addition, we have four renowned speakers from a variety of international research centers, three of which are distinguished lecturers elected by either IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society or IEEE Circuits and Systems Society (seminars, ReSMiQ symposium). We serve our members and promote conditions for student researchers to foster their abilities to innovate.
On 22nd March, the Symposium of the Electronic Industry Group (RIE) entitled “Electronics for the People” was held at Polytechnique Montréal. The RIE aims to bring together manufacturers, service companies and partners who demonstrate their intention to promote and contribute to the objectives of the corporation and to stimulate the Québec industry. ReSMiQ was a partner of this event and several of its members participated as speakers and panelists. Gabriela Nicolescu of Polytechnique Montréal presented the conference “Modeling and analysis of 3D multiprocessors on chip for the future cloud computing” and Mohamad Sawan of Polytechnique Montréal presented the closing conference “Intelligent medical devices: industrial opportunities and rewarding research” . Daniel Massicote of the UQTR was invited to participate in the roundtable “Carrier niches for the electronics industry: How to access it? “. The symposium participants were invited to visit the PolyFab laboratory. More details
