WORKSHOP on UNIQUE CHIPS and SYSTEMS (UCAS-5)
( http://ispass.org/ucas5 )

To be held in conjunction with

IEEE International Symposium on
Performance Analysis of Systems and Software (ISPASS09)
April 26, 2009
Boston, Massachusetts, USA


This workshop looks forward to bring together unique research in all
areas of chip and system design. We are looking forward to assembling
a program with unique technologies, circuits and architectures that
your academic or industry team is working on.

Topics of interest include but not limited to unique aspects of:
* VLSI Systems
* Nanoelectronics and Gigascale Systems
* Software Systems
* Grid computing
* Pervasive Computing
* Radiation hardened systems
* Low Power Architectures and Systems
* Low Power Software
* Bioinformatics
* Integrated Security Systems
* Visualization
* Biometrics
* Biomedical
* Data hiding
* Blind Signal and Image Processing
* Wireless ad hoc and sensor networks
* Massively parallel architectures
* Multithreaded architectures
* Fine-grain parallel architectures
* Unique technologies (quantum well, optoelectronic, biologically
inspired circuits/systems, RF and high frequency, etc)

* Prospective authors are invited to submit a full paper not exceeding 8 pages in length in standard IEEE two-column format
* Submissions should be made by attaching the PDF document to an email addressed to ucas5.2009 @ gmail.com (a CC to byeong.lee @ ti.com is recommended) which should include the following information for each author: Name, Affiliation, Address, Phone number and Email address.
* All papers will be reviewed by the technical program committee for quality, originality and relevance. We expect to publish selected papers in a Workshop proceedings. Please include the list of authors and their affiliations, addresses, telephone and email addresses and the name of the corresponding author.
