Chemically Sensitive Electronic Devices: Principles and Applications

From June 9 to June 20, 1980, a NATO Advanced Study Institute was held in Hightstown, NJ, U.S.A. on chemically sensitive electronic devices. The goal of this Institute was to present a coherent picture of both the fundamental science and the recent technological developments, on the one hand, and to provide workers in different disciplines with a cross-disciplinary approach to this new subject. Not only did the lectures offer tuition in their subjects through formal lectures, summarized in these Proceedings, they and the student body also created an informal atmosphere that greatly aided in the dissemination of knowledge. The success of this Institute will be gauged as much by papers on the principles of devices for monitoring chemical species stemming from this ASI as the actual devices which reach the market-place.
