International Conference on Magnetic Recording Heads and Systems

The Magnetic Recording Conference (TMRC 2011)
will be held on Aug. 29-31, 2011 at the
University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA

TMRC 2011 will focus on MAGNETIC RECORDING HEADS and RECORDING SYSTEMS. Approximately 36 invited papers of the highest quality will be presented orally at the conference and will later be published in the IEEE Transactions on Magnetics. The topics to be presented included:

* Advanced read and write head design and development
* Highly sensitive reader technology
* Write head dynamics and micromagnetics
* Energy assisted recording technologies
* Head / media interface and reliability
* Head testing, methods and apparatus,
* High data rate effects and advanced electrical interconnects
* Recording systems and integration
* Advanced recording channels and detection algorithms
* Advanced coding and error-correction technologies
* System reliability and mechanics

Nominations for invited speakers should be made to the Program co-chairs: Prof. Hiroaki Muraoka(muraoka@riec.tohoku.ac.jp),Dr. Hitoshi Iwasaki (hitosi.iwasaki@toshiba.co.jp) and Dr. Jinshan Li(jinshan.li@wdc.com) via e-mail by April 15th , 2011. Please include a brief description or abstract to support your nomination and help the selection.

Poster sessions feature contributed posters in addition to invited speaker posters. Poster contributors must send a one-page abstract to the Poster Chairman by August 8, 2011. The IEEE Magnetics Society may award partial travel funding to assist students to attend TMRC 2011 in order to present papers or posters. See TMRC 2011 website for contact information. The conference program and invited paper digests will be available on-line by June 2011. Poster abstracts received and approved by July 29 will be included in the printed Digest Book.

The website for TMRC 2011 is currently under construction. Conference information will be found at: http://www.ece.umn.edu/~MINT/TMRC2011/
