Abstract

The International Symposium on Physical Design provides a forum to exchange ideas and promote research on critical areas related to the physical design of VLSI systems&#046; All aspects of physical design, from interactions with behavior&#8211; and logic&#8211;level synthesis, to back&#8211;end performance analysis and verification, are within the scope of the Symposium&#046; Target domains include semi&#8211;custom and full&#8211;custom IC, MCM and FPGA based systems&#046; Following its twelve predecessors, the 2004 symposium will highlight key new directions and leading&#8211;edge theoretical and experimental contributions to the field&#046; <b>Keywords:</b> Floorplanning and interconnect planning<br>Interactions with behavior&#8211;level synthesis flows<br>Partitioning, placement and routing<br>Interactions with logic&#8211;level (re&#8211;)synthesis flows<br>Compaction and layout verification<br>Analysis and management of power dissipation<br>Synthesis optimizations within physical design<br>Management of design data and constraints<br>Estimation and modeling<br>New physical design methodologies<br>Timing and crosstalk issues in physical design<br>New paradigms in physical design<br>Physical design for manufacturability and yield<br>Design for large and/or high&#8211;performance systems<br>Special structures for clocking and power networks<br>Circuit performance measurements in a PD context<br>Physical design in parallel/ distributed/Web environments
