  1. VLSI-SoC’12 Technical Program Meeting General Chair: Matthew Guthaus Program Chairs: Ayse Coskun, Andy Burg Santa Cruz, 7th October 2012, 17:00

  2. Agenda 17:00 – 17:15 Introduction17:15 – 17:30 Program structure and statistics 17:30 – 18:15 Topic feedback for next year 18:15 – 18:30 Submission deadline for next year18:30 – 18:45 Procedure for selection of papers for the Springer book and best paper award (announced in the closing session of the conference)18:45 – 19:00 Any Other Business 19:00 – Welcome apero

  3. Technical Program Committee • 12 technical tracks • 8-10 members per topic (mostly 8), including 2 topic co-chairs • In total 115 TPC topic members, including the 24 topic chairs • 1 Special Session chairs and 1 PhD Forum chair

  4. Tracks • AMS Design • Bio-electronics/Bio-sensing • DSP-CAS • Digital VLSI/Memories • Emerging Techn./Devices • Interconnect/NoC • Low-Power/Thermal • Prototyping/Verification • Reconfigurable Systems • SoC/Embedded • Synthesis/Co-design • Variability/Test

  5. Technical Program Committee

  6. TPC involvement • TPC members did in general a very good work with few exceptions • Regular papers were reviewed by at least 3 reviewers (average 4), with very few exceptions • Submissions from TPC members: ~37

  7. Paper submissions (1) • 110 valid regular scientific papers have been submitted • excluding bogus and late submissions • 13 submissions to 2 special sessions • 20 papers submitted to the PhD forum (total)

  8. Paper submissions (2) Focus more on electronics for biomedical Provide a track for transistor-level digital, reduce load on AMS track Stronger focus on emerging technologies with focus on devices rather than MEMS Reduce load on SoC track by separating out interconnect

  9. Paper submissions (3)

  10. Paper selection • Posters • Weighted average score > 0.4 • Highest average score within posters: 1.0 with 1 exception (1.3) • Regular papers • Weighted average score > 1.0 with 3 exceptions (1x0.6, 2x0.8) • Highest weighted average score: 2.5

  11. Paper selection • Regular papers • Initially 36 papers accepted and 19 posters, but 1 regular paper + 1 poster was withdrawn • Finally, 35 regular papers accepted and 18 posters • Regular papers are published as 6-page long papers, and posters as 4-page short papers (Some complaints from authors) • Paper acceptance rate: • Regular papers : 31.8 % • Regular + poster papers : 49.0 % • 2 special sessions with 5/5 and 4/8 accepted (open submission) • 19 PhD forum papers accepted (out of 20), but 2 withdrawn

  12. PhD Forum • Format: poster session (no paper) • Submission : 1 page abstract for review • Advertising: • General call for PhD student papers (mildly successful as in prev. years): 5 submissions • Separate invitation to authors of accepted papers to submit a PhD forum paper on “the general topic of their PhD research” (must be different from their paper, i.e., broader scope) • Total: 17 posters to be presented

  13. Technical Program Structure 12 regular sessions with 45 papers in 2 parallel tracks 2 special sessions with 9 papers 2 poster sessions, with 18 posters combined with coffee breaks PhD forum with 17 posters 3 keynotes 1 embedded tutorial 1 panel
