2006 VLSI Circuits Technical Program
Welcome to the 2006 Symposium
on VLSI Circuits
You are cordially invited to attend the 2006 Symposium on VLSI Circuits, to be held on June 15-17th, 2006, at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Honolulu, Hawaii. Following the tradition of the last several years, the Symposium on VLSI Circuits will follow the Symposium on VLSI Technology at the same location.
Starting in 1987, this year marks the 20th annual Symposium on VLSI Circuits. The Symposium has established itself as a major international forum for presenting and exchanging important ideas and new developments in VLSI circuit design. The scope of the conference includes new concepts in VLSI, novel Memory technologies, Analog Circuits, Analog/Digital Conversion, Digital Processing, Static and Dynamic Memory, Signal Processing, I/O and Communication circuits. Contributions to the Symposium come from both industry and academia, from around the world.
New for this year, preceding the Symposium on June 14th, two all-day Short Courses on VLSI circuits will be held. For one registration fee, participants can attend either parallel course. The first focusing on new challenges facing digital designers titled; “Designing for Paradigm Shifts in Microprocessors and Networking”, the other choice focuses on the increasing challenges of Analog and Digital conversion in advanced technologies titled; “Data Converter Design for Embedded Systems”.
This year, the technical program committee reviewed 412 papers, selecting 113 outstanding papers for presentation. These papers disclose new and interesting design concepts for memory, processor, communication, analog, and signal processing circuits, and represent the leading edge of VLSI circuit design.
We have invited four distinguished speakers to describe recent advances and new challenges related to VLSI circuits, technology and applications: “High Performance Processors in a Power Limited World”, “Finger-Vein Authentication Technology and its Future”, “Analog and The Big Bang: A Universal Model for Mixed Signal VLSI Trends”, “Through Silicon Via and 3-D Wafer/Chip Stacking Technology”.
To complement the formal talks, we have arranged three evening rump sessions on interesting and provocative subjects to give you an opportunity to participate in the discussions and mix with the participants who were chosen to represent contrasting opinions on the topics. The rump sessions explore: “What will be the next embedded memory workhorse?”; “Power management: What are the device and circuit trade-offs and how will it be managed at 45nm and 32nm nodes”; “Complete integration of SoC power management - reality or mirage?”.
The rich technical content of the program will undoubtedly interest you, and we certainly hope that the Symposium will be a fruitful and enjoyable experience.
This booklet contains the advance program together with forms for the Symposium registration and hotel reservations. Please try to complete and return these forms as soon as possible. Although the on-site registration will be available at the conference, pre-registration will facilitate Symposium planning.
We look forward to meeting with you at the Symposium in Honolulu.
