ACM International Symposium on Physical Design, Austin, Vereinigte Staaten

The ACM 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 (including interactions with architecture, behavioral&#8211; and logic&#8211;level synthesis, and 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; Applications of classical physical design techniques to emerging technologies such as MEMs and microfluidics are also encouraged&#046;<br><b>Keywords:</b> Floorplanning and interconnect planning<br>Partitioning, placement and routing<br>Estimation and modeling<br>Physical design for manufacturability and yield<br>Special structures for clocking and power networks<br>Interactions with architecture, behavioral&#8211; and logic synthesis<br>Management of design data, constraints and hierarchies<br>Analysis and management of power dissipation<br>Timing and crosstalk issues in physical design<br>Design for large and/or high&#8211;performance systems Circuit performance measurements in a PD context New physical design methodologies and paradigms Physical design of analog, RF and mixed systems Applications of PD to emerging technologies such as MEMs and microfluidics Physical design in parallel / distributed / Web environments
