<P>SM2ACD is organized by the Institute for Microelectronic and Mechatronic Systems gGmbH in cooperation with the Technical University of Ilmenau, Germany. The workshop will be held in Erfurt, Germany, on October 7–8, 2008. In addition, a pre–conference program and tutorial sessions will be offered on October 6, 2008.<BR>The first SMACD workshop was organized in 1991 in Bagneux, France. Subsequent workshops were held in Firenze, Italy (1992), Seville, Spain (1994), Leuven, Belgium (1996), Kaiserslautern, Germany (1998), Lisbon, Portugal (2000), Sinaia, Romania (2002), Wroclaw, Poland (2004), and Firenze, Italy (2006). SMACD had initially been organized as a forum for the exchange of new ideas and advances in the field of symbolic circuit analysis methods and their applications. Since there is a steadily growing interest in a wider range of modeling techniques for analog and mixed–signal circuit design – not limited to symbolic approaches only –, it was decided to extend the scope of the workshop accordingly. Therefore, SMACD now becomes SM2ACD – the additional M reflects the new orientation towards modeling techniques in general.</P> <P>Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:<BR>Recent advances in analog CAD with focus on symbolic and/or numerical analysis and modeling techniques, design tools and methodologies<BR>Symbolic and numerical methods for analog, mixed–signal, RF, multi–domain (MEMS, nanoelectronic, optoelectronic, biological, etc.) circuit and systems analysis and design.<BR>Novel circuit design methodologies and design automation enabled by behavioral modeling and/or symbolic techniques (including modeling, simulation, and optimization of timing, reliability, and yield for A/MS circuits)<BR>Linear and nonlinear model reduction and computer–aided macromodeling<BR>Symbolic methods in electrical/electronic engineering education.</P>
