TAISA being a meeting point of interest for francophone researchers, and NEWCAS one of the youngest Circuits and Systems conference, a joint effort was first held in June 2008 in Montreal, Canada. This collaboration is geared towards advanced research in microelectronics which constitutes the highlights of the NEWCAS conferences in addition to topics regarding analog data and signal processing and their applications that have been well-established in the TAISA conferences. After this first succesfull event a second joint edition will take place from June 28 to July 1, 2009, in Toulouse, France. The topics include but are not limited to:

* Computer and system architectures
* RF, digital, analog and mixed-signal circuits design
* Test and verification
* System-level design
* Data and signal processing
* Microsystems, memories, sensors and associated analog processing
* Mathematical methods and design tools
* Telecommunications, radio-frequencies and microwaves
* Neural networks and artificial vision
* Biomedical Circuits and Systems

Venue

This event will be held in Toulouse, a city located in the southwest of France on the banks of the Garonne River, close to Pyrenees, between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. One of the centres of the European aerospace industry and embedded systems, the city of Airbus, Toulouse, is also the second largest university campus of France after Paris. Its distinctive brick architecture (Toulouse is known as the Ville Rose -Pink City-), an intense cultural life, a cosmopolitan and festive atmosphere, lively evenings you will enjoy your stay in Toulouse.
