[SCOPE]

The Euromicro Conference on Digital System Design (DSD) addresses all 
aspects of digital system design from embedded and mixed 
hardware/software system engineering, down to microarchitectures, 
digital circuits and VLSI techniques. It focuses on advanced circuit and 
system design and design automation concepts, paradigms, methods and 
tools, as well as on modern implementation technologies from full custom 
in nanometer technology nodes to FPGA and to multicore infrastructures. 
Compiler assisted ASIP, CMP, SMP, SMT, DSP-VLIW, GPU and platform based 
system design research results are welcome. Design and Verification 
Languages and Standards, Modeling, High Level Synthesis, Productive 
Design Technology and Engineering Flows, Efficiency, Density, Signal 
Integrity, Testability, Timing Analysis and Timing Closure, Power 
Consumption, Computational Power Speed and Performance, 
Manufacturability, Cost, Reliability, Error Resilience, Complexity, or 
Process Variability issues are covered in DSD.

Euromicro was founded in 1973 by Rodnay Zaks and other colleagues 
shortly after the announcement of the Intel 4004 landmark processor. 
IEEE Computer Society publishes the DSD Proceedings which are available 
worldwide through IEEE Xplore Digital Library. [MAIN TOPICS]

[SUBMISSION GUIDELINES]

Regular Papers:
Prospective authors are encouraged to submit their manuscripts for 
review electronically trough the following web page 
(http://www.conftool.net/dsd2009/) or by sending the paper to the 
Program Chair via email (antonio.nunez at iuma.ulpgc.es, only if an 
unexpected web access problem is encountered) before the deadline for 
submission. Each manuscript should include the complete paper text, all 
illustrations, and references. The manuscript should conform to the 
required IEEE format: single-spaced, double column, A4/US letter page 
size, 10-point size Times Roman font, up to 8 pages. In order to conduct 
a blind review, no indication of the authors' names should appear in the 
submitted manuscript, references included.


Case Studies and Application Papers: Submissions can be made which 
report on state-of-the-art digital systems, digital designs, 
architectures, design methods and/or tools, and (embedded) applications. 
Papers discussing lessons learned from practical experience, demanding 
or new applications, and experimental research are particularly 
encouraged. Manuscripts may be submitted in the same way as regular papers.
