CALL FOR PAPERS

The International Conference on Microelectronics (ICM) is held in cooperation with the IEEE Electron Devices Society and has been held over the past 21 years. ICM 2010 will include oral, poster sessions and tutorials given by experts in the Microelectronics field. ICM 2010 will be held in Cairo, Egypt between December 19-22, 2010.

Prospective authors are invited to submit papers on all areas of devices, circuits and systems, including but not limited to:

INTEGRATED CIRCUITS AND SYSTEMS

Embedded system design
Systems on Chip (SoCs)
Digital signal and data processing
Applications to computer and telecommunications systems Analog circuit techniques Design for testability VLSI design Wireless Communication Applications Custom and semi-custom circuits (design concepts, architectures and high-performance and low-power circuits)

COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN FOR MICROELECTRONICS

Test methodologies and issues
Parallel embeded systems
