===============================================================================<br>Special session: Design, Analysis and Tools for Integrated Circuits and Systems<br><br> DATICS 2008<br><br> July 22-24, 2008 (Crete Island, Greece)<br>
<a href="http://digilander.libero.it/systemcfl/datics" target="_blank">http://digilander.libero.it/systemcfl/datics</a><br>===============================================================================<br><br>
Aims and Scope<br>
--------------<br>The main target of the Special Session: DATICS 2008 is to bring together software/hardware<br>engineering researchers, computer scientists, practitioners and people from industry to<br>exchange theories, ideas, techniques and experiences related to all areas of design, analysis and<br>
tools for integrated circuits (e.g. digital, analog and mixed-signal circuits) and<br>systems (e.g. real-time, hybrid and embedded systems).<br>The special session also focuses on the field of formal methods and<br>low power design methodologies for integrated circuits.<br>
<br>Topics<br>------<br>Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:<br>* digital, analog, mixed-signal designs and test<br>* RF design and test<br>* design-for-testability and built-in self test methodologies<br>
* reconfigurable system design<br>* high-level synthesis<br>* EDA tools for design, testing and verification<br>* low power design methodologies<br>* network and system on-a-chip<br>* application-specific SoCs<br>* specification languages: SystemC, SystemVerilog and UML<br>
* all areas of modelling, simulation and verification<br>* formal methods and formalisms (e.g. process algebras, petri-nets, automaton theory and BDDs)<br>* real-time, hybrid and embedded systems<br>* software engineering (including real-time Java, real-time UML and performance metrics)<br>
