The Scopes of the Symposia on VLSI Technology and Circuits, including
Joint Focus Sessions, are described in the Calls for Papers.
Symposia Demo Session
The Symposia Demo session will be video-based and open to a wide range of authors. The demo session will provide the opportunity to show pre-recorded demonstrations and prototypes of research projects, corresponding to all relevant topics of the Symposium. Those who wish to submit their paper(s) to Demo Session, please answer “Yes” to the question in “5. Questionnaires” at the time of Online Submission.
Below is the link to the Author’s Guide that provides a detailed
description for paper preparation for submission. PDF of Author’s Guide, Word Document of Author Guide The
paper must be in final form, and if accepted, will be published without any
modifications.
150 Word Abstract
The abstract is a brief synopsis of your paper. It will be used by the Symposium
Technical Program Committee in press releases and pre- Symposium publicity. The
abstract should be typed in the Technical Paper Submission Form directly. You
must
enter plain ASCII text only, and you may not exceed 150 words. Neither tables
nor
figures may appear in the abstract.
Important Notice
Papers will be considered on the basis of originality, innovation, and advancing
the
field. Prototype implementation and measured results will be considered
favorably in
the ratings. *Your complete paper must occupy no more than two pages including
illustrations. Submitted papers, which exceed this length, will not be accepted
for
review. Each page can contain about 700 words and two illustrations (assuming
each
illustration is two- column format). A page could contain as many as six
illustrations if they are sized accordingly. When preparing the final pages,
please
follow carefully the instructions in the Author’s Guide. Please avoid the use of
special Asian fonts in the main body text, figures, charts, and tables in the
paper
submission. The authors can use the first page for text and the second page for
pictures. *You must have approval from your organization before submitting your
paper to the VLSI Symposia. The VLSI Symposia views as an unprofessional
practice
the withdrawal of a paper once it has been submitted by the author, accepted by
the
Program Committee, and widely announced in the Advance Program. Withdrawal of a
paper or failure to present a paper at the Symposia after the Advance Program is
distributed jeopardizes both the Symposia credibility and the author’s
professional
reputation.
Notification of Review Result
If accepted for presentation, the content of the paper must not be announced or
published prior to the Symposia. The Technical Program Committee will review all
submitted papers and authors will receive notification of the Committee’s
decision
around the end of March 2021.
Copyright Transfer Form
Copyright Transfer Form must be submitted to the VLSI secretariat, once your
paper is
accepted. Detailed information will be given in the acceptance letter. We thank
you
for your interest in the Symposia on VLSI Technology and Circuits. If you have
any
further questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Conference Office.
(Japan
and Asia) or (North America and EU). Contact information for both Secretariats
