Abstract

The International Symposium on Asynchronous Circuits and Systems (ASYNC) is the premier forum for researchers to present their latest findings in the area of asynchronous design&#046; This year ASYNC is co&#8211;located with the 6th ACM/IEEE International Symposium on Networks&#8211;on&#8211;Chip (NOCS 2012)&#046; The two symposia will be hosted by DTU Informatics at the Technical University of Denmark in Copenhagen&#046;<br>Authors are invited to submit full papers on any aspect of asynchronous design, ranging from the core topics of design, synthesis, and test, to asynchronous applications in system&#8211;level integration and emerging computing technologies&#046; Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:<br>Mixed&#8211;timed circuits, GALS systems, Network&#8211;on&#8211;Chip, and multi&#8211;chip interconnects<br>Elastic and latency&#8211;tolerant synchronous design<br>Synchronization, arbitration, and metastability<br>Asynchronous pipelines, architectures, CPUs, and memories<br>Asynchronous ultra&#8211;low power systems, energy harvesting, and mixed&#8211;signal/analogue<br>Asynchrony in emerging technologies, including bio, neural, nano and quantum computing<br>CAD tools for asynchronous design, synthesis, analysis, and optimization<br>Formal methods for verification and performance/power analysis<br>Test, security, and fault tolerance<br>Asynchronous variability&#8211;tolerant design and design for manufacturing<br>Circuit designs, case studies, comparisons, and applications<br>SPECIAL TRACKS: This year we are also soliciting papers for two special tracks&#046; Papers submitted for consideration to the special tracks will receive the same standard of peer review as regular papers&#046; When evaluating a paper submitted to one of these tracks, the Program Committee will give extra consideration to the contribution of the paper to the life sciences, biology&#8211;inspired computing, or the process and experience of incorporating asynchronous techniques in commercial designs&#046; The special tracks are:<br>Asynchrony in biology&#8211;inspired computing<br>Industrial applications of asynchronous design<br>
