CALL FOR PAPERS
This workshop explores emerging trends and novel ideas and concepts in
the area of VLSI. The Workshop covers a range of topics: from VLSI circuits,
systems, and design methods to system level design and system-on-chip
issues, to bringing VLSI experience to new areas and technologies like
nano- and molecular devices, MEMS, and quantum computing. Future
design methodologies will also be one of the key topics at the workshop,
as well as new CAD tools to support them. Over almost two decades
the workshop has been an unique forum promoting multidisciplinary research
and new visionary approaches in the area of VLSI. The Workshop is bringing
together leading scientists and researchers from academia and industry.
The papers from this workshop have been published as the special issues
of top archival journals. This fact indicates a very high quality of the
workshop papers, and we are determined to keep a strong emphasis on this critical aspect of any workshop. The workshop
proceedings are published by IEEE Computer Society Press.
Several leading scientist from newly emerging areas of nanoelectronics,
MEMS and molecular, biological and quantum computing will be invited speakers
at the workshop. The Workshop has established a reputation in bringing
well-known international scientists as invited speakers, and this trend
will continue.
