2000 SYMPOSIUM ON VLSI CIRCUITS

Hilton Hawaiian Village
Honolulu, Hawaii
June 15 - 17, 2000

The 2000 Symposium on VLSI Circuits will provide those involved in the design 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 2000 Symposium on VLSI Technology, which is being held at the same hotel.

The scope of Symposium covers all aspects of VLSI circuits, such as:

The emphasis will be on circuit design. Papers will be considered on the basis of originality and quality. Though the circuits need not necessarily be implemented in a semiconductor chip, measured results, particularly for analog submissions, are desirable. There will be several invited papers on emerging VLSI circuit technologies.

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS

Your complete paper for the Circuits Symposium must occupy either two or four (never three) pages including illustrations. The choice of paper length (either 2 or 4 pages) is an option for authors whenever two pages is not enough to completely describe the major novelty and results of their work. The paper length will not be a criterion in selection of the papers for the program.

Those interested in submitting papers should contact the secretariat as early as possible to receive an author's kit. The abstracts are to be submitted in final form and, if accepted, will be published as submitted. The summary and 50 copies are to be sent to Widerkehr and Associates (North America and Europe) or to the Business Center for Academic Societies Japan (all countries except North America and Europe).

Deadline for Receipt of Summaries is January 7, 2000


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.

INFORMATION AND REGISTRATION

Prospective attendees can obtain further information and forms for Symposium registration and hotel reservations by contacting their secretariat. Submissions from universities are encouraged. Partial travel expense support for students who are presenting papers is available upon request.

VLSI CIRCUITS SHORT COURSE

A one day short course will be held on June 14, 2000. The agenda for this short course will be given in the VLSI Circuits Symposium Advance Program which will be issued toward the end of March, 2000.


Preceding this Symposium, the 2000 Symposium on VLSI Technology will be held at the same location.
