Abstract

PATMOS is a series of international workshops having been held in several places in Europe&#046; It has over the years evolved into a well established and outstanding series of open European events on power and timing aspects of integrated circuit design&#046; The increased interest, especially in low&#8211;power design, adds further momentum to the expansion of the workshop&#046; Despite its growth, PATMOS can still be considered as an informal but very focused conference, featuring high&#8211;level scientific presentations together with open discussions and panel sessions in a free and easy environment&#046;<p>Scope</p><p>The objective of the workshop is to provide a forum to discuss and investigate the emerging problems in the design methodologies and CAD&#8211;tools for the new generation of IC technologies&#046; A major emphasis of the technical program is on speed and low&#8211;power aspects with particular regard to modeling, characterization, design, and architectures&#046; The scope of the workshop includes, but is not limited to design and CAD aspects of:</p><p>Low power design: high performance low power systems, ultra low power systems, special architectures&#046;</p><p>Modeling and synthesis: timing, power, low&#8211;voltage, interconnect, crosstalk&#046;</p><p>Timing design: clocking, synchronization, asynchronous and self timed systems, adiabatic switching&#046;</p><p>Optimization: low voltage low power logic families, logic parallelization, pipelining, fast low power arithmetic&#046;</p><p>Physical design: module generation, library optimization and characterization, area estimation&#046;</p><p>Physical test and characterization: low VT low voltage process, SOI, IDDQ, models and parameter extraction, experimental design for process control&#046;</p><p>Design methods and CAD tools: for low voltage low power design, high speed circuits&#046;</p><p>Trade&#8211;offs between devices, architectures and technologies, benchmark comparison&#046;<br></p><p><br></p>
