=================================================================

The International Conference on Synthesis, Modeling, Analysis and Simulation Methods and Applications to Circuit Design (SMACD) will be first held in Seville (Spain) in September 2012 as a dedicated forum devoted to Design Methods and Tools for Analog, Mixed-signal, RF (AMS/RF) and multi-domain (MEMs, nanoelectronic, optoelectronic, biological, etc.) integrated circuits and systems.


SMACD 2012 topics of interest include, but are not limited, to:


• Performance modeling

• Power and thermal modeling

• Reliability modeling

• Variability modeling

• Compact device and circuit modeling

• Multi-domain modeling (optoelectronics, MEMs, biological, biochemical, etc.)

• Modeling languages and applications

• Linear and non-linear model reduction

• Circuit and system theory and applications

• Behavioral modeling and simulation

• Numerical and symbolic simulation methods

• Distributed and parallel circuit simulation

• Analysis and simulation techniques for emerging nanoscale devices

• Analysis of reliability effects: aging, electro-migration, BTI, etc.

• Simulation and estimation methods of variability and yield

• Fault modeling and simulation

• System-level specification and simulation

• Novel system-level design flows

• Innovative design methodologies enabled by behavioral, performance, and/or symbolic modeling techniques

• Synthesis methods in multi-domain (MEMs, electro-optical, etc.) systems

• Physical synthesis

• High-frequency modeling, simulation and design

• Low-power design techniques

• Parasitic-aware synthesis

• Variability-aware and reliability-aware design methodologies

• Test and design-for-test methods

• Language-based synthesis techniques

• Optimization methods applied to circuit and system design: high-level synthesis, structural synthesis, sizing, etc.
