CALL FOR PAPERS & INVITATIONS

Upcoming Conferences

IEEE ISCAS 2012, Seoul, Korea

The IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS) is the world's premier networking forum of leading researchers in the highly active fields of theory, design and implementation of circuits and systems.

ISCAS 2012 will be held in Seoul, Korea, from 20 May to 23 May 2011. The Symposium’s theme is Convergence of BINET (Bio Info Nano Enviro Technology).

The ISCAS 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 ISCAS. In addition, ISCAS 2012 includes a session, Confessing Mistakes, dedicated to report your mistakes and help others avoid them. Tell us now what you never tell in your papers. How did you make the mistake? How did you find out? How did you discover the ultimate origin of the mistake? What did you learn about avoiding this kind of mistake in the future? Mistakes can be of all sorts - ranging from scientific and technical to strategic or marketing errors.

CAS FEST, Seoul, Korea

The 2012 Circuits and Systems Society Forum on Emerging and Selected Topics (CAS-FEST) event will be the third event in the series organized by IEEE CAS Society and will be held on May 20, 2012, in conjunction with ISCAS 2012, at the COEX center, Seoul, South Korea. Previously, CAS-FEST 2010 was held in conjunction with ICECS 2010, in Athens, Greece and focused on Variation-Aware Design for Nano-scale VLSI, while CAS- FEST 2011 was held in conjunction ISCAS 2011, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and focused on Brain Machine Interfaces. The topic of the CAS-FEST 2012 will be HETEROGENOUS NANO-CIRCUITS AND SYSTEMS. The forum is organized in a single track, to intensively cover one focus area at each meeting. CAS-FEST is envisioned by the Circuits and Systems Society as a high-impact, high-quality technical forum. The goal is to match the quality of the accepted papers with high quality of presentations. It is required that the presenter of each paper, who must be identified upon submission, should be the most experienced author of the paper. A student may be the first author of a submitted paper, but the paper must be presented by their advisor, unless all authors are students.

Authors are invited to submit a 4-page paper in PDF in IEEE 2-column format via electronic mail to the CAS-FEST Editors, for peer review.The Editors seek novel and important contributions, supported by strong experimental evidence. The new IEEE Journal on Emerging and Selected Topics in Circuits and Systems (JETCAS) will provide a vehichle for publication of the CAS-FEST technical material, after peer review, according to the JETCAS policies and procedures. The accepted papers will be published in the December 2012 issue of JETCAS, pending JETCAS approval.

The deadline for submission is January 30, 2012. Details are found in http://si2.epfl.ch/~demichel/CAS-FEST/index.html.

IEEE LASCAS 2012, Playa del Carmen, Mexico

LASCAS' goal is to be the International Symposium of IEEE Circuits and Systems in Latin America. Its third edition will take place in Playa del Carmen, in February 29 to March 2, 2012. Originally named Xaman-Ha (waters of the north) and known as the capital of the Riviera Maya, Playa del Carmen is a living vibrant part of the Maya World (Mundo Maya). Located on the beautiful Caribbean coast some 40 miles (60 Kms.) south of Cancun, Playacar, as it is now affectionately known, is the perfect base from which to explore the fascinating sites along the Cancun - Tulum Corridor of Quintana Roo (now called Mayan Riviera).

4-page paper submission: November 23, 2011.

VLSID 2012, Hyderabad, India

The 25th International Conference on VLSI Design (VLSID 2012) will be held in Hyderabad, INDIA, from January 7-11, 2012. This IEEE Circuits and Systems Society (CASS) technically co-sponsored conference is held jointly with 11th International Conference on Embedded Systems. This joint conference is a forum for researchers and designers to present and discuss various aspects of VLSI design, electronic design automation (EDA), embedded systems, and enabling technologies. It covers the entire spectrum of activities in the two vital areas of very large scale integration (VLSI) and embedded systems, which underpin the semiconductor industry. Two full days of tutorials will be followed by three days of Keynotes, regular paper sessions, special sessions, and  embedded tutorials and student . This conference will be held in conjunction with 3rd IEEE International Workshop on Reliability Aware System Design and Test (RASDAT 2012). We are proud to invite you to the Pearl City of India, Hyderabad. Highly motivated organizing committee members of VLSID 2012 are dedicated to making this conference in Hyderabad both unforgettable and scientifically exceptional.
