This talk will present how MEMS CAD tools coupled with standard analog and digital design tools may be used for the co-simulation and modeling of MEMS devices, their associated electronics and packaging in commercial MEMS systems. Examples will be given of important co-design issues such as how to simulate packaging effects on MEMS device performance, how to co-simulate electronics and MEMS to calculate system timing, and how to model and evaluate the thermal, mechanical and electrical performance of new packaging concepts such as system in package. The talk will also discuss design tools and strategies for those system designers wishing to utilize third party or off the shelf MEMS sub-systems.

The goal of traditional industry conferences is to bring practitioners to problems (organized by subject or track). The Spatial Plexus '12 inaugural conference takes a twist on the traditional conference paradigm by bringing problems - "Wicked Problems" - to the practitioner. "Wicked Problems" are problems that are difficult to solve because of incomplete, contradictory, and changing requirements.
"Inspecting 'Wicked Problems' with Geospatial Goggles," will expose, dissect, better define and manage complexities and interdependencies in order to reassemble and improve them.
What better group to tackle such challenges than geospatial educators, technologists and experts who come from every rank and discipline with the ability to relate issues through geographic visualization and analyses?
