| THEME: Embedded Solutions for Emerging Markets - Infrastructure, Energy, Automotive  This joint conference is a forum for researchers and  designers to present and discuss various aspects of VLSI design, electronic  design automation (EDA), embedded systems, and enabling technologies. It covers  the entire spectrum of activities in the two vital areas of very large scale  integration (VLSI) and embedded systems, which underpin the semiconductor  industry. Two full days of tutorials will be followed by three days of regular  paper sessions, special sessions, and   embedded tutorials. Two workshops, RASDAT and SSD will be held on the 7th.  Industry presentation sessions, panel discussions, design contests and  industrial exhibits round off the program. 2011 marks the 10th  edition of the conference on embedded systems, and a theme for the overall  conference is “Embedded Solutions for Emerging Markets - Infrastructure,  Energy, Automotive”. TOPICS: Papers are invited on topics related to (but not  limited to) the following areas: VLSI Design and Methodologies: Analog and RF mixed signal design,  Synthesis, DFT and test, Verification (simulation and formal), Design for  manufacturability and yield, Power analysis and low-power design, Thermal  analysis and temperature aware design, Physical design, packaging and board  design, technology CAD, CMOS sensors and MEMS, nanoscale computing and  nano-electronics, High performance computing, Multi-core and parallel  architectures, Networks-on-chip. Embedded Systems: Audio, Image and Video processing, Hardware/Software  co-design and verification, reconfigurable systems, applications in DSP,  communications, encryption, security, compression, hybrid systems-on-chip,  embedded software tools, case studies, ESL design flows.  Theme based: Medical and  automotive electronics, green electronics and computing, electronics for  infrastructure systems, sensor networks, ambient intelligence, emerging markets  and applications.

                    | SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:All submissions are made online, through the conference web-site http://www.vlsiconference.com/. Detailed guidelines and updates are on this site.
 Regular papers: The  manuscript, to be prepared in IEEE two-column conference format and not to  exceed six pages, must describe previously unpublished work, focusing on  novel ideas, results and applications of the contribution. Submissions will  undergo a double blind review process: Papers exceeding the page limit,  or disclosing the identity of the authors will be rejected without review. Embedded tutorials & Special Sessions: Proposals  in emerging areas of relevance to this conference can be submitted as two-page  extended abstracts with details of topics covered. Accepted proposals will  require full regular papers to be submitted. Panels: Proposals must be submitted with an abstract, together  with names of panelists.All submissions of  papers and proposals will imply that, if selected, the same must be presented  at the conference in person. Hence, approvals from parent organizations must be  obtained before the submissions are made. TUTORIALS: Two  days will be dedicated to full and half-day tutorials on important and emerging  topics. Coordinating presenters are encouraged to submit proposals in the specified  format giving adequate information on topics covered and details of other  presenters.
 EXHIBITS: The  conference provides a unique opportunity for vendors of VLSI design tools and  services to display their products and services. Please contact the Exhibits  chair for details.
 DESIGN CONTEST:  Please  check the conference website or contact the Design Contest Chair for more .
 FELLOWSHIPS: A  limited number of fellowships will be awarded, based on need and merit, to  partially cover the expenses of attendees from India. Candidates with accepted  submissions will be given preference.
