CALL FOR PAPERS - ISPD 2010 |
ACM International Symposium on Physical Design
|
March 14 - March 17, 2010 |
Marriott Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco, California |
(Co-locate with TAU, March 18 - 19, 2010, http://www.tauworkshop.com) |
Sponsored by ACM SIGDA with Technical Co-sponsorship from IEEE CAS |
The International Symposium on Physical Design provides a premier forum to exchange ideas and promote research on critical areas related to the physical design of VLSI systems. All aspects of physical design, including its interactions with architecture, behavioral- and logic-level synthesis, and back-end performance analysis and verification are within the scope of the symposium. Target domains include semi-custom and full-custom IC's, regular fabrics, FPGA's, and systems-on-chip/systems-in-package. Following its eighteen predecessors, the 2010 symposium will highlight key new directions and leading-edge theoretical and experimental contributions to the field. The ACM Press will publish accepted papers in the Symposium proceedings. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: |
 |
Floorplanning and interconnect planning |
|
Interactions with behavior-level synthesis flows |
|
|
Partitioning, placement and routing |
|
Interactions with logic-level (re-)synthesis flows |
|
|
Physical design for manufacturability and yield |
|
Analysis and management of power dissipation |
|
|
Synthesis optimizations within physical design |
|
Management of design data and constraints |
|
|
Estimation and modeling |
|
New physical design methodologies |
|
|
Timing and crosstalk issues in physical design |
|
New paradigms in physical design |
|
|
Special structures for clocking and power networks |
|
Circuit performance measurements in a PD context |
|
|
Physical design for emerging process technologies |
|
Multithreaded/distributed algorithms
for physical design |
- IMPORTANT DATES
Title and abstract submission deadlineMidnight, September 30, 2009 (PST)Full manuscript submission deadlineMidnight, October 4, 2009 (PST)Acceptance notificationNovember 12, 2009Camera-ready paper dueJanuary 10, 2010
- SUBMISSION OF PAPERS
All papers must be submitted electronically. Details will be posted on the web site http://www.ispd.cc. Potential authors will be required to submit full-length, original, unpublished papers (a maximum of 8 pages in ACM conference format) along with an abstract of at most 200 words and contact author information (name, street/mailing address, telephone/fax, e-mail). Previously published papers or papers currently submitted for publication to other conferences/journals will not be considered. If one or more related papers have been previously published elsewhere or have been currently submitted elsewhere for publication, the authors should clearly state the differences between these papers and the current submission. All submitted papers will be under blind reviews, and thus they must not include name(s) or affiliation(s) of the author(s) anywhere in the manuscripts. Failure to comply with these requirements will result in automatic rejection.
ISPD will recognize excellent contributions through a Best Paper Award.
