The 2003 Great Lakes Symposium on VLSI (GLSVLSI) will be held on April 28-29, 2003 at the Radisson Barcelo Hotel in downtown Washington D.C. The theme of this year's symposium is "VLSI in the Nanometer Era." Additional topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• VLSI Design: design of ASICs, microprocessors and micro-architectures, embedded processors, analog/digital/mixed-signal systems, multi-chip modules, FPGAs.
• VLSI Circuits: analog/digital/mixed-signal circuits, RF and communication circuits, chaos/neural/fuzzy-logic circuits, high-speed/low-power circuits.
• Computer-Aided Design (CAD): hardware/software co-design, logic and behavioral synthesis, logic mapping, simulation and formal verification, layout (partitioning, placement, routing, floorplanning, compaction, etc.), algorithms and complexity analysis.
• Low Power Design: circuits, micro-architectural techniques, CAD support, power estimation methodologies and tools.
• Testing, Reliability, Fault-Tolerance: digital/analog/mixed-signal testing, design for testability and reliability, online testing techniques, static and dynamic defect- and fault-recoverability.
• Nanotechnology: emerging technologies (resonant tunneling devices, single electron transistors, quantum devices, molecular electronics, etc.), circuit design using nanotechnology devices, modeling and simulation tools for nanoelectronic devices and circuits.
