ProRISC (Program for Research on Integrated Systems and Circuits) is the Micro–Electronic design division of the Technology Foundation The Beginning In 1988 there was a growing demand from the research community for a platform for micro–electronic design activities. At a meeting in 1989 at the Philips Research Laboratories in Eindhoven, ProRISC was ′born′. It got the legal status of an autonomous division of the Technology Foundation, with its own board and a budget for organizing conferences. Originally, ProRISC was intended only for the chip–designers, the first two conferences were on design–methodology. Design methodology however is no independent science, a micro–electronic design uses certain devices (e.g. transistors), incorporates the technology used to process the final chip and a chip is (mostly) part of a bigger system. It was therefore only natural, that the designer–community was joined by the device– and system designers in the second year. One year later also the signal–processors (the people, not the chips ;–)) joined, and ProRISC covered the entire area for micro–electronic system design. Goal As already stated, ProRISC is the micro–electronic design division of STW, it serves as a platform for all the researchers in the field of microelectronics and the users of the results of the research projects. ProRISC has no budget for research, proposals for new projects will still have to compete with all the other proposals at STW. However, ProRISC tries to bring together researchers and users by means of organizing an annual workshop. Furthermore, ProRISC tries to acquire extra financial means for research. <b>Keywords:</b> Adaptive and selective filtering, Algorithmic design, Application driven design strategies, Architectural synthesis, Asynchronous circuits and systems, Behavioural models and their formal definitions, CAD for signal processing, Cellular automata and neural networks, Design environments and frameworks, Design for test, Design for reliability and for manufacturability, Design of analogue and mixed signal circuits and systems, Efficiency of design strategies, Embedded systems design, Estimation and identification, Formal verification, Hardware–software co–design, Image processing, Layout synthesis and extraction, Logic design and verification, Low power aspects of design, (Medical) signal processing, Pattern recognition, Physical design, Scheduling and code generation for embedded system architectures, Sensor interfacing, Sensor networking, Signal processing, Simulation (behavioural–, logic–, circuit–, mixed signal– and mixed level), Speech processing, Testing techniques and reliability issues, Video processing, VLSI–design technology.
