Electronics and Information Systems

This Symposium explores emerging trends and novel ideas and concepts in the area of

VLSI. The Symposium covers a range of topics: from VLSI circuits, systems and design

methods to system level design and system-on-chip issues, to bringing VLSI experience

to new areas and technologies like nano- and molecular devices, MEMS, and quantum

computing. Future design methodologies will also be one of the key topics at the workshop,

as well as new CAD tools to support them. Over almost two decades the symposium has

been a unique forum promoting multidisciplinary research and new visionary approaches

in the area of VLSI. The Symposium is bringing together leading scientists and researchers

from academia and industry. The papers from this symposium have been published as the

special issues of top archival journals. This fact indicates a very high quality of the symposium

papers, and we are determined to keep a strong emphasis on this critical aspect of any

conference. The symposium proceedings are published by IEEE Computer Society Press.

Several leading scientists from newly emerging areas of nanoelectronics, MEMS and

molecular, biological and quantum computing will be invited speakers at the symposium.

The Symposium has established a reputation in bringing well-known international scientists

as invited speakers, and this trend will continue.
