2002
SYMPOSIUM ON VLSI CIRCUITS
Hilton Hawaiian Village
Honolulu, HI
June 13 - 15, 2002
The 2002 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 2002 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, analog, and mixed digital-analog
circuits, such as processors, ASICs, A/D
and D/A converters, interface circuits,
etc.
- memory circuits: such as static memory,
non-volatile memory, cache memory,
dynamic memory, and new concepts in
memories based on quantum mechanical
effects, magnetism, polymers, etc.
- system architecture, circuits and
building blocks for networking
applications
- circuits, functional blocks using quantum
dots, MEMS, sensors, etc.
- fundamentals related to the above
subjects, including design automation tools,
innovative circuits and device structures
|
The emphasis will be on circuit
design. 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
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 authors kit. The abstracts
are to be submitted in final form and, if
accepted, will be published as submitted.
The 2 camera-ready copies of your summary and 52
copies are to be sent to Widerkehr and Associates
(North America and Europe) or to Business Center
for Academic Societies Japan (all countries
except North America and Europe). |

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. |
Deadline for Receipt of
Summaries is January 8, 2002 |
INFORMATION AND REGISTRATION
Prospective attendees can obtain further
information and forms for Symposium registration
and hotel reservations by contacting their
respective secretariats. 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
12, 2002. Details will be given in the VLSI
Circuits Symposium Advance Program, which will be
issued toward the end of March, 2002. |
Preceding this Symposium,
the 2002 Symposium on VLSI Technology will be
held at the same location. See the reverse side. |
