12th Great Lakes Symposium on VLSI
http://www.glsvlsi.org
April 18-19, 2002
New York City, Holiday Inn Martinique on Broadway

Sponsorship from ACM/SIGDA

The 12th Great Lakes Symposium on VLSI will be hosted by the Computer Science Department of the State University of New York at Binghamton. Original, unpublished papers, describing research in the general area of VLSI are solicited. Authors should clearly state their contribution to the state-of-the-art. Both theoretical and experimental research results are welcomed. Proceedings will be published by the ACM, and will be included on the SIGDA compendium CD-ROM. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• 1. Low Power Design. Circuits, micro-architectural techniques,
  CAD support, power estimation methodologies and tools.
• 2. VLSI Design. Design of ASICs, microprocessors and
  micro-architectures, embedded processors, mixed analog
  and digital VLSI systems, and multi-chip modules.
• 3. Computer-Aided Design. Hardware/Software co-design, logic and
  behavioral synthesis, simulation and formal verification, layout tools
  (partitioning, placement, routing, floorplanning, compaction, etc.),
  digital testing and testable design, analog testing and mixed mode
  testing, VLSI algorithms and complexity analysis.
• 4. VLSI Circuits. RF and communication circuits, low power circuit
  techniques, analog and digital circuits, chaos, neural and fuzzy logic
  circuits, and high-speed circuit design techniques.
• 5. Nanotechnology. Emerging technologies (resonant tunneling devices,
  single electron transistors, quantum devices, molecular electronics,
  etc.), circuit design using quantum electronic devices, modeling and
  simulation tools for nanoelectronic devices and circuits.
• 6. Micro-ElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS). MEMS technology and system design, CAD tools for MEMS, and MEMS applications for wireless
  communications.

Important Dates:

Submission deadline: December 28, 2001
Acceptance notification: February 4, 2002
Camera ready paper due: February 18, 2002

Submission of Papers:

Authors should submit full-length, original, unpublished papers along with an abstract of at most 200 words; author and contact information (name, street/mailing address, telephone/fax, e-mail) should be submitted in a separate document. Previously published papers or papers submitted for publication to other conferences/journals will not be considered. Electronic submission is required.

To allow reduced turn-around time for accepted papers, GLSVLSI 2002 submissions should be in camera-ready two-column format, following the ACM proceedings specifications located at: http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html.
