ICECS 2011 - The 18th IEEE International Conference on Electronics, Circuits, and Systems (ICECS)

The IEEE International Conference on Electronics, Circuits, and Systems (ICECS) is the flagship conference of the IEEE Circuits and Systems (CAS) Society, Region 8 (Europe, Middle East, and Africa). This conference has traveled to various countries in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, and has matured to the point of its recent official acknowledgment by the IEEE CAS Society as its Region-8 flagship conference. ICECS presents design methodologies, techniques, and experimental results in emerging electronics, circuits, and systems topics. Furthermore, ICECS includes exciting keynote talks, tutorials, and special sessions.

The 18th edition will be held in Beirut, Lebanon between December 11-14, 2011. It will be sponsored by the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society and supported by the Lebanese American University, Lebanon, and by the École Polytechnique de Montréal, Montreal, Canada. ICECS 2011 will include oral and poster sessions, tutorials given by experts on state-of-the-art topics, and special sessions, with the aim of complementing the regular program with topics of particular interest to the circuits and systems community that cut across and beyond disciplines traditionally represented at ICECS.

Important Dates:

Proposals for Special Sessions and Tutorials: July 15, 2011
Regular and Student Papers: July 15, 2011
Notification of Acceptance: September 15, 2011
Camera-ready Manuscripts: October 15, 2011
Conference Pre-registration: October 15, 2011

The IEEE International Conference on Electronics, Circuits, and Systems (ICECS) is the flagship conference of the IEEE Circuits and Systems (CAS) Society, Region 8 (Europe, Middle East, and Africa). The conference annually presents papers from the whole world on design methodologies, techniques, and experimental results in emerging electronics, circuits, and systems topics. ICECS 2011 will include tutorials, regular sessions (lecture and poster), and special sessions. Lecture and poster sessions will be treated equally in terms of review process. ICECS 2011 will cover all aspects of the fields of electronics circuits and systems, including analog and digital electronics, solid-state circuits, power, high-speed, automotive, biomedical, and signal processing. Topics include, but are not limited to:

?? Linear and Non-linear Circuits and Systems
?? Digital Circuits and Computer Arithmetic
?? Analog and Mixed Signals Circuits
?? Signals Processing
?? MEMS/NEMS
?? Communication and RF Circuits and Systems
?? Green and Power Electronics
?? Low-Power Techniques and Harvesting Energy
?? Photonics and Optical Systems
?? Neural Networks and Fuzzy Systems
?? Control Systems, Mechatronics, and Robotics
?? Image Processing and Multimedia Systems
?? VLSI Systems, NoC, SoC, CAD, and Layout
?? Embedded and Systems Architectures
?? Bioengineering Circuits and Systems
?? Emerging Technologies

Prospective authors are invited to submit a 4-page full paper describing original work. Papers should meet the standard IEEE 2-column format. Both lecture and poster formats have the same value, and presentation method will be chosen for suitability. All submissions should be made electronically at http://www.icecs2011.com. Students are encouraged to participate in the best student paper award contest. Accepted papers will be published in IEEE-Xplore subject to advance full-registration of at least one of the authors. A special issue based on a selection of extended and reviewed version of presented papers will be published in the Springer Analog Intergrated Circuits and Signal International Journal.
