DATICS-IMECS'09

Design, Analysis and Tools for Integrated Circuits and Systems (DATICS'09)

SPECIAL SESSION IN THE IAENG IMECS CONFERENCE

The International MultiConference of Engineers and Computer Scientists 2009 (IMECS 2009) is organised by the International Association of Engineers (IAENG), a non-profit international association for the engineers and the computer scientists. IAENG IMECS 2009 will take place in Hong Kong, 18-20 March, 2009.

AIMS AND SCOPE

Main target of the Special Session: DATICS'09 is to bring together software/hardware engineering researchers, computer scientists, practitioners and people from industry to exchange theories, ideas, techniques and experiences related to all areas of design, analysis and tools for integrated circuits (e.g. digital, analog and mixed-signal circuits) and systems (e.g. real-time, hybrid and embedded systems). DATICS'09 also focuses on the fields of formal methods, low power design methodologies for integrated circuits and wireless sensor networks (WSNs).
TOPICS

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
digital, analog, mixed-signal and asynchronous design
processor, memory and RF design
DSP and FPGA/ASIC-based design
synthesis and physical design
ATPG, design-for-testability and built-in self test methodologies
embedded system hardware/software co-design and co-verification
CAD/EDA methodologies and tools
statistical timing analysis and low power design methodologies
network and system on-a-chip and applications
communication and wireless sensor networks (WSNs)
specification languages: SystemC, SystemVerilog and UML
theory and foundations: model checking, SAT-based methods, use of PSL, compositional methods and probabilistic methods
applications of formal methods: equivalence checking, CSP applications and transaction-level verification
verification methods based on hardware description/system-level languages (e.g. VHDL, SystemVerilog and SystemC)
industrial experience reports and case studies
real-time, hybrid and embedded systems
all areas of modelling, simulation and verification of systems
formalisms: process algebras, petri-nets, automaton theory and BDDs
software engineering (including real-time Java, real-time UML and performance metrics)
