GLSVLSI 2005 Chicago, Illinois April 17-19, 2005 http://www.glsvlsi.org/ Sponsored by: ACM SIGDA With the Technical Support of: IEEE CAS The 15th edition of GLSVLSI will be held on April 17-19, 2005 in Chicago, Illinois. Original, unpublished papers, describing research in the general area of VLSI are solicited. Both theoretical and experimental research results are welcome. Proceedings will be published by the ACM and will be included on the SIGDA compendium CD-ROM. A "Best Student Paper Award" will be voted on by the technical program committee. Only papers with a student as first author will be eligible. A laptop, generously donated by Intel, with a mobil Intel Pentium 4 processor M will be awarded to the winning paper's first author at the symposium. Due to the holiday season, the paper submission deadline is firmly set on December 17, 2004 at 5:00 pm PST. Also, GLSVLSI does not consider double papers. Papers that are currently pending at other conferences will be automatically rejected. For each submission, once accepted (as a regular paper, or a short paper, or a poster paper), at least one of the authors must register for and attend the symposium. Program Tracks: 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. Emerging Technologies: nanotechnology, molecular electronics, quantum devices, biologically-inspired computing, resonant tunneling devices, single electron transistors, design, modeling, and simulation tools for emerging technology devices and circuits. Paper submission deadline : December 17th, 2004 Acceptance notification : February 4th, 2005 Camera ready paper due : February 18th, 2005
