DATICS-ICMS'09 2009 - Design, Analysis and Tools for Integrated Circuits and Systems

Workshop in the International Conference of Mathematical Sciences

The International Conference of Mathematical Sciences 2009 (ICMS 2009) is organised by the Maltepe University, Turkey. ICMS 2009 will take place in Istanbul, Turkey, 4-10, August, 2009.

Aims and Scope

Main target of the Workshop: 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)
