<ul><p align="justify"><font face="Times New Roman"><span style="font–size: 12pt;">Moore′s law based scaling is rapidly approaching a "brick wall" as we enter the nanoelectronic regime. Novel silicon and non–silicon nanoelectronic devices are being developed to explicitly address this problem. Similarly, while defect and fault–tolerance techniques are designed under the assumption that a system is composed largely of correctly functioning units, this is no longer true in emerging nanoelectronics. In addition, nanoelectronics offers massive parallelism on a scale significantly beyond anything we have seen before, yet very few commercial massively parallel applications are envisioned. Also, while current computer aided design tools and methodologies can barely manage billion–transistor chips, how can trillion–device chips that nanoelectronics promises be designed?<br>The purpose of the NANOARCH symposium is to be a forum for the presentation and discussion of novel architectures and design methodologies by considering these issues in future nanoscale implementations. The symposium seeks to build on the successes of NANOARCH in 2005–2008. NANOARCH is interested in novel architectures including massively parallel, biologically inspired as well as those that are defect and fault tolerant, case studies on defect, fault and yield models, experimental reliability evaluation, validation frameworks, computer aided simulation, and design tools and emerging computational models for nanoelectronics. The symposium’s topics of interest include:</span></font></p></ul> <ul><ul><li><font face="Times New Roman"><span style="font–size: 12pt;">Architectures for nanoelectronic digital and mixed–signal circuits and systems</span></font></li><li><font face="Times New Roman"><span style="font–size: 12pt;">Computational paradigms and programming models for nanoscale architectures</span></font></li><li><font face="Times New Roman"><span style="font–size: 12pt;">Modeling and simulation of nanoelectronic devices, circuits and system architecture</span></font></li><li><font face="Times New Roman"><span style="font–size: 12pt;">Simulation of complex systems with nanoscale computing architectures</span></font></li><li><font face="Times New Roman"><span style="font–size: 12pt;">Implementing microarchitecture concepts using nanoarchitecture building blocks</span></font></li><li><font face="Times New Roman"><span style="font–size: 12pt;">Defect and fault tolerant nanoelectronic device, circuit, and system level architectures</span></font></li><li><font face="Times New Roman"><span style="font–size: 12pt;">Manufacture testing of nanoelectronic architectures</span></font></li><li><font face="Times New Roman"><span style="font–size: 12pt;">Computer aided design tools and methodologies for nanoelectronic architectures</span></font></li></ul></ul> <div style="margin–left: 40px;"><font face="Times New Roman"><span style="font–size: 12pt;">Information on the panel and keynote talks will be forthcoming</span></font><br><div style="text–align: justify; margin–left: 40px;"><font face="Times New Roman"><span style="font–size: 12pt;"></span></font>The two day symposium will also include several technical sessions on topics such as reliable nanoarchitectures, CAD for nanoelectronic devices and circuits, defect tolerant memories and circuits, and nanoelectronic circuits.<br></div> </div> <font face="Times New Roman"><span style="font–size: 12pt;"></span></font><br><font face="Times New Roman"><span style="font–size: 12pt;">We sincerely hope you can participate in NANOARCH 2009.
