VDAT 2012 - VLSI Design and Test Symposium (VDAT 2012)

VLSI Design and Test Symposium (VDAT 2012) to be hald at Bengal Engineering and Science University (BESU), Shibpur, India during July 1-4, 2012. All the peer-reviewed accepted papers will be published by Springer LNCS volume. VDAT 2012 webpage can be found at: http://vdat2012.iitkgp.ac.in/. Last date of paper submission is March 15, 2012.
CALL FOR PAPERS
The VLSI Design and Test Symposium (VDAT 2012) is the sixteenth in this series of symposia started in 1997 devoted to design, test, fault tolerant computing and the design of reliable circuits and systems. The idea behind VDAT Symposium is to promote R&D on all aspects of VLSI in India, and to act as a forum for free discussion on hot and emerging topics on VLSI and related fields for academicians and professionals from India and abroad. This year a special half-day PhD Forum would be conducted, to encourage and provide directions to budding researchers in this field. The theme for VDAT 2011 will be Design and Test for Power Efficient Computing at Nanoscale.
Web address of VLSI Design and Test Symposium (VDAT 2012) (http://vdat2012.iitkgp.ac.in/)
Publisher: All accepted papers will be published by Springer LNCS (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-...)
SCOPE:
Original papers in the broad area of VLSI design and testing are solicited. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following categories:
VLSI Design: Analog and RF mixed signal design; Design and modeling of digital circuits and systems; FPGA prototyping of algorithms; Synthesis; Optoelectronic devices and circuits; MEMS, Deep Submicron and Nanometer devices and circuits; Power analysis and low-power design; Thermal analysis and temperature aware design; Physical design, packaging and board design; Technology CAD; High performance computing; Networks-on-chip; System-on-chip designs.
Testing and Verification: Design for testability; Test generation and fault simulation; Built-in self-test; Verification (simulation and formal); Design for manufacturability and yield analysis; Testing memories and regular logic arrays.
Embedded Systems: Hardware/software co-design and verification; Audio, image and video processing; Reconfigurable systems; Applications in communications, encryption, security, compression, etc.; Embedded software tools; FPGA prototyping of complete systems; CAD for embedded systems.
Emerging Technology: Nanoscale computing and nanotechnology; Reversible computation; Nano-Electro-Mechanical Systems (NEMS); CAD research in the areas of emerging technology and emerging systems.
SUBMISSION:
All submissions should be made online, through the Easychair conference management system. Complete guidelines will be made available on this symposium web-site. The accepted papers will be published by Springer as a Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) volume.
Regular papers: The manuscript, to be prepared in Springer LNCS format and not to exceed eight pages, must describe previously unpublished work, focusing on novel ideas, results and applications of the contribution. Submissions will undergo a double blind review process: Papers exceeding the page limit, or disclosing the identity of the authors will be rejected without review.
Embedded tutorials: Proposals for embedded tutorials (1 hour duration) are also invited. Proposals in emerging areas of relevance to this conference can be submitted as a two-page extended abstract with details of topics covered, and a short resume of the speakers. Accepted proposals will require full regular papers to be submitted.
Regular tutorials: One day will be dedicated to full and half-day tutorials on important and emerging topics. Proposals for full-day (6 hours duration) or half-day (3 hours duration) are invited. Tutorial proposals should contain (i) Tutorial title and short summary (in about 200 words), (ii) Name, affiliation and contact details of all the presenters, (iii) Target audience and prerequisites along with beneficial impact of the tutorial on the intended participants (in about 75 words), (iv) Detailed tutorial outline, delineated topic-wise description with time duration of each (in about 2000 words), (v) Short biographical sketch of each presenter (in about 200 words for each presenter).
PhD forum proposals: Proposals are invited from PhD students working in various areas of VLSI design and testing to showcase their works. Selected works will be displayed as posters, and also be allotted some time for presentation. Detailed instructions will be provided on the web site.
