SOCC 2012 - 2012 IEEE 25th International SOC Conference (SOCC)

For more than 23 years, IEEE SOC Conference has been providing a premier forum for the ASIC and SoC community for sharing the latest advances in technologies and applications in that area. Founded in 1987 by the IEEE chapter of Rochester, NY, USA as a local ASIC Seminar, the conference rapidly grew into a well respected international ASIC conference. As ASICs grew in complexity over the years, the IEEE ASIC Conference was one of the first conferences to pick up the trend towards System-on-Chip integration - back in 1999. Since then, the conference - first renamed IEEE ASIC/SOC and later IEEE SOCC - has emerged as the premier technical conference focusing specifically on the field of SoC development and related areas.
Venue
SOCC 2011 will be held at the Grand Hotel in Taipei, Taiwan on Sept. 26-28, 2011
The Conference
In its tradition of continuing quality, SOCC 2011 will offer three days of technical papers and embedded tutorials. Please watch this site for updates on distinguished speakers and the technical program. While we are finalizing the program for 2011, you may as well want to take a look at our previous conferences.
Distinguished Speakers
SOCC has a long tradition of inviting high-ranking invited speakers from industry and academia to give Keynote, Plenary, and Luncheon talks. Please watch this table for updates.

Giovanni DeMicheli
Professor and Director, Institute of Electrical Engineering and of the Integrated Systems Centre,
EPF Lausanne, Switzerland
Giovanni De Micheli is Professor and Director of the Institute of Electrical Engineering and of the Integrated Systems Centre at EPF Lausanne, Switzerland. He is program leader of the Nano-Tera.ch program. Previously, he was Professor of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University.He holds a Nuclear Engineer degree (Politecnico di Milano, 1979), a M.S. and a Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (University of California at Berkeley, 1980 and 1983).
Prof. De Micheli is a Fellow of ACM and IEEE and a member of the Academia Europaea. His research interests include several aspects of design technologies for integrated circuits and systems, such as synthesis for emerging technologies, networks on chips and 3D integration. He is also interested in heterogeneous platform design including electrical components and biosensors, as well as in data processing of biomedical information. He is author of: Synthesis and Optimization of Digital Circuits, McGraw-Hill, 1994, co-author and/or co-editor of eight other books and of over 400 technical articles.
Prof. De Micheli is the recipient of the 2003 IEEE Emanuel Piore Award for contributions to computer-aided synthesis of digital systems. He received the Golden Jubilee Medal for outstanding contributions to the IEEE CAS Society in 2000. He received the 1987 D. Pederson Award for the best paper on the IEEE Transactions on CAD/ICAS, two Best Paper Awards at the Design Automation Conference, in 1983 and in 1993, and a Best Paper Award at the DATE Conference in 2005.
He has been serving IEEE in several capacities, namely: Division 1 Director (2008-9), co-founder and President Elect of the IEEE Council on EDA (2005-7), President of the IEEE CAS Society (2003), Editor in Chief of the IEEE Transactions on CAD/ICAS (1987-2001). He has been Chair of several conferences, including DATE (2010), pHealth (2006), VLSI SOC (2006), DAC (2000) and ICCD (1989). He is a founding member of the ALaRI institute at Universita' della Svizzera Italiana (USI), in Lugano, Switzerland, where he is currently scientific counselor..
