This Symposium explores emerging trends and novel ideas and concepts in the area of VLSI. ISVLSI 2006 covers a range of topics: from VLSI circuits, systems, and design methods to system level design and system-on-chip issues, to bringing VLSI experience to new areas and technologies like nano- and molecular devices, MEMS, and quantum computing. Future design methodologies are one of the key topics at the workshop, as well as new CAD tools to support them. |
