THEME: Embedded Solutions for Emerging Markets - Infrastructure, Energy, Automotive

This joint conference is a forum for researchers and designers to present and discuss various aspects of VLSI design, electronic design automation (EDA), embedded systems, and enabling technologies. It covers the entire spectrum of activities in the two vital areas of very large scale integration (VLSI) and embedded systems, which underpin the semiconductor industry. Two full days of tutorials will be followed by three days of regular paper sessions, special sessions, and embedded tutorials. Two workshops, RASDAT and SSD will be held on the 7th. Industry presentation sessions, panel discussions, design contests and industrial exhibits round off the program.
2011 marks the 10th edition of the conference on embedded systems, and a theme for the overall conference is “Embedded Solutions for Emerging Markets - Infrastructure, Energy, Automotive”.

TOPICS: Papers are invited on topics related to (but not limited to) the following areas:

VLSI Design and Methodologies: Analog and RF mixed signal design, Synthesis, DFT and test, Verification (simulation and formal), Design for manufacturability and yield, Power analysis and low-power design, Thermal analysis and temperature aware design, Physical design, packaging and board design, technology CAD, CMOS sensors and MEMS, nanoscale computing and nano-electronics, High performance computing, Multi-core and parallel architectures, Networks-on-chip.
