The International Conference on Synthesis, Modeling, Analysis and Simulation Methods and Applications to Circuit Design (SMACD) was originally planned in Erfurt, Germany, but will be held virtually, as a forum devoted to modeling, simulation, and synthesis for Analog, Mixed-signal, RF (AMS/RF) and multi-domain (nanoelectronics, biological, MEMS, optoelectronics, etc.) integrated circuits and systems. Experiences with modeling, simulation, and synthesis techniques including machine-learning and artificial intelligence in diverse application areas are also welcomed. Objective technologies include CMOS, beyond CMOS, and More-than-Moore such as MEMS, power devices, sensors, passives, etc. SMACD 2021 is Technically Co-sponsored by IEEE, IEEE CEDA, and IEEE CAS. The conference proceedings will be submitted for inclusion in IEEExplore. 

PRIME has been established over the recent years as an important conference where Ph.D. students and post-docs with less than one-year of post-PhD experience can present their research results and network with experts from industry, academia, and research. PRIME 2021 will feature a conference program reflecting the wide spectrum of research topics in Microelectronics and Electronics, building bridges between various research fields. In addition to the technical sessions, opportunities for the conference attendees will be the keynote talks, workshops, social events, and conference proceedings will be submitted for IEEE Xplorer. PRIME 2021 is seeking original papers in the areas given on the Call for Papers.
