ABOUT VLSI-SoC 2008

VLSI-SoC 2008 is the 16th in a series of international conferences sponsored
by IFIP TC 10 Working Group 10.5 and IEEE CEDA that explores the
state-of-the-art and the new developments in the field of Very Large 

Scale Integration Systems and their designs. Previous Conferences have taken
place in Edinburgh, Trondheim, Tokyo, Vancouver, Munich, Grenoble, Gramado,
Lisbon, Montpellier, Darmstadt, Perth, Nice and Atlanta. 

The purpose of the Conference is to provide a forum to exchange ideas and to
show industrial and research results in the fields of VLSI/ULSI Systems,
VLSI CAD and Microelectronic Design and Test.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
	* Analog, Digital, and Mixed-Signal IC Design
	* 3-D Integration and Physical Design
	* Deep Submicron Design and Modeling Issues
	* New Devices and MEMS
	* Testability and Design for Test
	* CAD and Tools
	* Digital Signal Processing and Image Processing IC Design
	* Prototyping, Validation, and Verification
	* Modeling and Simulation
	* System-On-Chip Design
	* Embedded Systems Design
	* New Architectures and Compilers
	* Reconfigurable Systems
	* Low-Power Design
	* Logic and High-Level Synthesis
	* New Applications (communications, biosystems, video, automobile,
security, sensor networks, etc.)
	* Real-Time Systems
