Abstract

The convergence of technology with modern life has reached a state where dependence of human life on semiconductor technology is ubiquitous&#046; Today semiconductor technology is poised to look beyond its traditional bastions of application with pervasive impact on transportation, energy, disaster management, environment, and healthcare&#046;<br>The Technical tracks will be grouped under the theme track and the three broad categories namely, Design Methodologies and Technology, Design Tools and EDA and Embedded System Design and Tools&#046; The conference proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press&#046; Selected papers from this conference will also be published as special issues of top archival journals&#046;<br>Authors are invited to submit full&#8211;length (6 pages maximum) in IEEE CS proceedings format, original, unpublished papers with an abstract (200 words maximum) under the tracks listed below&#046; To enable double blind review, the author list should be omitted from the main document&#046; Papers violating length and blind&#8211;review criteria would be excluded from the review process&#046; Previously published papers or papers currently under review for other conferences/journals should not be submitted and will not be considered for publication&#046;<br>Track: Design Methodology and Technology<br>D1: System&#8211;level Design<br>ESL, System&#8211;level design methodology, Multicore systems, Processor and memory design, Concurrent interconnect, Networks&#8211;on&#8211;chip, Defect tolerant architectures<br>D2: Advances in Digital Design<br>Logic and Physical synthesis; Place &amp; Route, Clock Tree, Physical Verification, Timing and Signal integrity, Power analysis and integrity, OCV, DFM; DFY; Challenges for advanced technology nodes<br>D3: Analog / RF Design<br>Analog Mixed Signal IP; High&#8211;Speed interfaces; SDR and wireless; Low&#8211;power Analog and RF; Effective use of Spectrum; Memory Design, Standard Cell Design<br>D4: Power Aware Design<br>Low&#8211;power design, micro&#8211;architectural techniques, thermal estimation and optimization, power estimation methodologies, and CAD tools<br>D5: Devices / Circuits<br>New Devices and architectures; Low power devices; Modeling and Simulation; Multi&#8211;domain simulation; Numerical methods; Device/circuit level variability models; Reliability simulation<br>D6: Emerging Technologies<br>Nano&#8211;CMOS technologies; MEMS; CMOS sensors; CAD/EDA methodologies for nanotechnology; Nano&#8211;electronics and Nano&#8211;circuits, Nano&#8211;sensors, MEMS applications, Nano&#8211;assemblies and Devices, Non&#8211;classical CMOS; Post&#8211;CMOS devices; Biomedical circuits, Carbon Nano&#8211;tubes based computing<br>Track : Design Tools and EDA<br>T1: Design Verification<br>Functional Verification; Behavioral Simulation; RTL Simulation; Coverage Driven Verification; Assertion Based Verification; Gate&#8211;level simulation; Emulation; Hardware Assisted Verification; Formal Verification; Equivalence Checking; Verification Methodologies<br>T2: Test Reliability and Fault&#8211;Tolerance<br>DFT, Fault modelling/simulation; ATPG; Low Power DFT; BIST &amp; Repair; Delay test; Fault tolerance; Online test; AMS/RF test; Board&#8211;level and system&#8211;level test; Silicon debug, post&#8211;silicon validation; Memory test; Reliability test; static and dynamic defect&#8211; and fault&#8211;recoverability, and variation&#8211;aware design<br>T3: Computer&#8211;Aided Design (CAD)<br>Hardware/software co&#8211;design, logic and behavioural synthesis, logic mapping, simulation and formal verification, layout (partitioning, placement, routing, floorplanning, compaction)<br>Track : Embedded System Design and Tools<br>E1: Embedded Systems<br>Hardware/Software co&#8211;design &amp; verification; Reconfigurable computing; Embedded multi&#8211;cores SOC and systems; Embedded software including Operating Systems, Firmware, Middleware, Communication, Virtualization, Encryption, Compression, Security, Reliability; Hybrid systems&#8211;on&#8211;chip; Embedded applications, Platforms &amp; Case studies<br>E2: FPGA Design and Reconfigurable Systems<br>FPGA Architecture, FPGA Circuit Design, CAD for FPGA, FPGA Prototyping<br>E3: Wireless Systems<br>Wireless Sensor Networks, Low Power wireless Systems, Embedded Wireless, Wireless protocols, Wireless Power / Charging<br>Theme Track : Technologies for a Safe and Inclusive World<br>H1: Technologies for Healthcare Applications<br>H2: Technologies for Smart Management of Energy Systems<br>H3: Technologies for Intelligent and Secure Transportation Systems<br>H4: Technologies for Safety Assurance of Embedded Circuits and Systems<br>H5: Technologies for Secure Embedded Circuits and Systems<br>
