22nd IEEE International SOC Conference

The SOC Conference provides a premier forum for sharing advances in SoC technologies and applications in the areas of digital systems, circuit architectures, design methods, tools and automation, manufacturing and test, and emerging MEMS and nano technologies. The 22nd SOCC will be held in Northern Ireland under the auspices of the Institute of Electronics, Communications and Information Technology (ECIT) and Queen's University Belfast, and will offer three days of technical papers, technical workshops, and a vendor exhibition. For details, please see http://www.ieee-socc.org.



Upcoming Workshops

The International Workshop on Complex Systems and Networks 2009 (IWCSN’09) will be the 6th International Workshop in a successful series of events organized in Bologna (2004), Hong Kong (2005), Vancouver (2006), Guilin (2007) and Canberra (2008). The aim of the workshop is to foster exchange and collaboration among researchers in the fields of multi-agent and complex systems, nonlinear dynamics, networks and coupled systems and related applications. The 2009  edition will be held on July 20-22, 2009, and organized by the Bristol Centre for Complexity Sciences, a new interdisciplinary centre in Complexity funded by the UK EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Research Council).

The workshop will be focused on the problem of studying the emergence of coordinated behavior in multi-agent systems and networks and their applications. Topics will include synchronization and control of networks of dynamical systems, coordination of behavior in multi-agent systems, applications to biological and communication networks, epidemics and artificial intelligence. The meeting is sponsored by the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society, the Centre for Chaos and Complex Networks at the City University of Hong Kong, the EU Project PASCAL and the Bristol Centre for Complexity Sciences.

CALL FOR PAPERS: Special Issue on Biometric Instrumentation and Measurement, IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement 
Biometrics is a growing and important applications area receiving significant interest as a result of the criticality and the social impact of its applications. In addition, the increasing worldwide interest in security makes biometrics even more valuable and desirable, from many perspectives including its theory, technologies, design methodologies, and applications. The constituencies that may benefit from this ever growing field include academia, industry, government, and the general public. To create a biometric system various issues need to be studied in a comprehensive and integrated way: from sensing to measurement procedures, from signal analysis and interpretation to quality assessment, from feature extraction to classification and analysis, from knowledge creation to extraction, and much more. Integration and cooperative combination are other key aspects of biometrics applications. This special issue is focused on publishing original papers that address instrumentation and measurement aspects of the design, implementation and applications of biometrics. The detailed call for papers is available at
http://www.dti.unimi.it/~piuri/pages/TIM-SpecialIssueBiometricIMCFP.pdf
The submission period is February 15 - March 1, 2009. Notification of final acceptance is expected by June 30, 2009 and publication in December 2009.
