SoC Conference Technical Scope

Multimillion-transistor System-on-Chip (SoC) devices, comprising several CPUs & DSPs, analog, optical, digital, and Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), are integral parts of everyday communication, entertainment, medical, digital consumer, automotive, and military products. Over the past 9 years, the International SoC Conference has established itself as the premier annual event for System-on-Chip and VLSI. The Conference provides an outstanding platform for sharing and disseminating groundbreaking research, revolutionary product announcements, and innovative technical tutorials, and it has established itself as the forum for debating emerging challenges in System-on-Chip, VLSI, and Nanotechnologies. The 10th International SoC Conference, Exhibit & Workshops will be held at the Hilton Irvine (California) and will offer two days of technical presentations, panel discussions, tabletop exhibits, tutorials, and a variety of technical workshops.

 

	For the International System-on-Chip (SoC) Conference, the premier event devoted to Chip Design and Development, the SoC Conference Organizing Committee is seeking submissions on all aspects of IC & IP designs including:
	Semiconductor Foundry Services RF & Analog/Mixed-Signal Novel CMOS Design Techniques EDA Tools, Algorithms, and Tool Usage Design Methodologies, Techniques, and Technologies for All Aspects of Electronic Circuits Network-on-Chip (NoC) & System-Level Communication FPGA Design, Tools, and Applications Embedded Design and Platforms Floor-Planning Logic Synthesis and Circuit Optimization Timing and Circuit Analysis and Circuit Optimization Emerging Specialized Design Technologies Manufacturing Test and Silicon Debug Beyond Die-Integration and Package/Hybrid/Board Design Novel Software Architecture for Multicore SoCs	IC & IP Design SiP and Innovative Packing Techniques Circuit Simulation and Interconnect Analysis Timing Analysis and Design for Manufacturability Physical Design and Manufacturability Power Analysis and Low-Power Design Validation, Test Planning, Testing and Coverage Formal Verification Signal Integrity and Design Reliability System-Level Design and Co-Design High-Level Synthesis Physical Synthesis Tools and Techniques Low-Power SoC Platforms Cost-Effective SoC-Based Platform Solutions Designing Multicore SoC Platforms Embedded Software, Tools and Design

In addition to conventional SoC-related topics, the SoC Conference invites proposals for topics for individual Tracks, Panels, Workshops and Tutorials.

SoC Conference Speaking opportunities	Track and Session Presenters, Keynote Speakers, and Panel Members who can contribute their professional expertise have a wonderful opportunity to share their innovative SoC, ASIC, ASSP, FPGA, and Foundry-related technology or products at this event to a very focused and targeted audience. Technical presentations are invited that address new and previously unpublished results on System-on-Chip topics and related areas such as CAD/EDA Tools, Analog, Mixed-Signal and RF Circuits and Systems, NoC, etc.   To explore speaking opportunities at the 9th International SoC Conference, for information on our Tabletop Exhibit, or to develop highly targeted Workshops, please contact the SoC Conference Organizing Committee at:   SoC@SavantCompany.com     or    SoC@SoCconference.com   or    (949) 851-1714
AUTHOR INFORMATION AND FORMAT	Presentations at the International System-on-Chip (SoC) Conference are in the form of 30-minute talks with PowerPoint slides. Presentation slides will be published in the SoC Conference Proceedings. Participants are not required to submit written papers, but a select group will be invited to submit a paper for inclusion in the SoC Conference Proceedings. Submissions must include a title, an extended abstract (two pages maximum), and the presenter's contact information (name, affiliation, job title, bio, address, phone, fax, and email). Please indicate whether you have submitted, intend to submit, or have already presented or published a similar or overlapping submission to another conference or journal. Also indicate if you would like the submission to be held confidential. Submissions are evaluated by the SoC Conference Organizing Committee and the SoC Technical Advisory Board on the basis of the overall complexity of the technology or device, the degree of innovation, the incorporation of advanced technology, the potential market significance, and most importantly, the anticipated interest to the audience. Research and software proposals will be evaluated by similar criteria. If you are describing a product, you must indicate its status: its design, development, tape out, silicon, shipping, etc. Please submit your extended abstract in plain ASCII or PDF to: SoC@SoCconference.com   or   SoC@SavantCompany.com  ASAP.   Submissions containing figures may be submitted in .pdf, but plain ASCII text or MS Word is preferred.
Don't Miss Out!	Please submit your proposed Abstract & Bio ASAP for SoC Conference Organizing Committee & Technical Advisory Board Review and Consideration.
