International Workshop on Behavioral Modeling and Simulation, San Jose, Vereinigte Staaten

Increasing levels of integration for complex systems creates enormous challenges for achieving design success&#046; A continuing challenge for System&#8211;on&#8211;a&#8211;Chip development is to apply behavioral modeling through the use of standardized languages such as VHDL&#8211;AMS and Verilog&#8211;AMS as a way of addressing the increasing size and complexity of these designs&#046; Behavioral models and simulation techniques help to capture functional information making them useful to researchers studying synthesis, other designers needing functional blocks, and to facilitate testing of systems prior to their completion&#046; This workshop provides a forum for all aspects of behavioral modeling&#046; The workshop will make use of presentations, panel discussions, and embedded tutorials to present the latest trends&#046; The workshop emphasizes the use of simulation and modeling techniques that cover several levels of abstraction (i&#046;e&#046; circuit to system), address multi&#8211;disciplinary problems (mixed&#8211;signal or mixed&#8211;technology), or address emerging areas of interest (i&#046;e&#046; RF techniques, MEMS, biological systems, automatic extraction of models)&#046; <b>Keywords:</b> Approaches to simplify, accelerate, or automate the process of creating behavioral models&#046;<br>Approaches to simplify, accelerate, or automate the process of synthesizing an implementation from behavioral models&#046;<br>Application of behavioral modeling in new ways that act to improve the overall design process&#046;<br>New modeling languages or extension of existing languages to provide substantial new modeling capabilities&#046;<br>New approaches to implementing behavioral modeling languages that provide better performance or that enable new behavioral modeling techniques&#046;<br>Novel behavioral models and modeling techniques, particularly for new application areas&#046;<br>Approaches to implementing behavioral languages and simulators that cross domains, such as mixed signal types (continuous, discrete event, repetitive cycle, etc&#046;), mixed technology, mixed discipline, mixed lumped and distributed, mixed time scale (fast and slow), mixed scale (big and small), etc&#046;
