SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS
Sponsored by
the Japan Society of Applied Physics and the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society
In Cooperation with the Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication
Engineers
and the IEEE Electron Devices Society
"20th Anniversary"
Rihga Royal Hotel Kyoto
Kyoto, Japan
June 14 - 16, 2007
| The 2007 Symposium on VLSI Circuits will provide the designers of integrated
circuits an opportunity to meet and present important new work at an international
forum. The three day Symposium will continue the successful format and
atmosphere established by the previous meetings, and partially overlap
the 2007 Symposium on VLSI Technology, which is being held at the same
hotel. |
| The scope of the Symposium covers all aspects of VLSI circuits,
such as: |
- digital circuits and systems: such as architectures, low-power, processors,
ASIC, FPGAs, etc.
- analog and mixed signal circuits: such as A/D and D/A converters, amplifiers,
filters, RF,
interface circuits, etc.
- memory circuits: such as static memory, non-volatile memory, cache memory,
dynamic memory,
and new concepts in memories based on quantum mechanics effects, magnetism,
polymers, etc.
- system architecture, circuits and building blocks for wireless and wireline,
multi-media, and
networking applications
- circuits, functional blocks using quantum dots, MEMS, sensors, etc.
- fundamentals related to the above, including design automation tools,
innovative circuits and
device structures |
| The emphasis will be on VLSI circuits. In addition to papers addressing
transistor-level circuits, the conference also welcomes submissions addressing
large-scale system level concerns as they affect circuits, including system
architecture, system-to-device interaction in digital design, and the impact
of technology scaling on performance, area and power of complex SoCs. Papers
will be considered on the basis of originality and quality. Implementation
in a semiconductor chip and measured results are not mandatory. They are
required only when feasibility of the presented circuit is not clear by
simulations alone, as in the case for most analog submissions. It is understood
that papers in new areas are likely to contain less quantitative evaluations
than those in more established areas. |
SUBMISSION OF PAPERS
Prospective authors must submit papers in the format of two pages
of camera-ready copy to:
http://www.vlsisymposium.org/author.html
Please note that a postal submission in hard copy will NOT be accepted. |
Those interested in submitting papers should access the above page: Detailed
intructions has been updated. The
papers are to be submitted in final form and, if accepted, will be
published as submitted.
To improve the probability for
acceptance of a submitted paper, the paper should describe original work
with specific results from experiments or simulations. The content of
the paper must not be announced or published prior to the Symposium.
Submissions from universities are encouraged. Partial travel expense support
for students who are presenting papers is available upon request.
The selection will
be based upon the quality of the written paper and the presentation. The
student who receives the Best Student Paper Award will receive a monetary
award and a certificate at the opening session of the 2008 Symposium. The
student must be the leading author and presenter of the paper, and must
indicate in the web submission form that this is a student paper in order
to be considered for this award.

| Paper Submission Deadline is 17:00, January 10, 2007
(JST) |
INFORMATION AND REGISTRATION
| Prospective attendees can obtain further information and forms for Symposium
registration and hotel reservations by contacting their respective secretariats. |
VLSI CIRCUITS SHORT COURSE / WORKSHOP
| Short Course and Workshop will be held on June 13, 2007. Details will
be given in the VLSI Circuits Symposium Advance Program, which will be
issued toward the end of March, 2007. |
Preceding this Symposium, the 2007 Symposium on VLSI
Technology
will be held at the same location. |
