The purpose of the Conference is to provide a forum to exchange ideas and to show industrial and research results in the fields of VLSI/ULSI Systems, VLSI CAD and Microelectronic Design and Test.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* Analog, Digital, and Mixed-Signal IC Design
* 3-D Integration and Physical Design
* Deep Submicron Design and Modeling Issues
* New Devices and MEMS
* Testability and Design for Test
* CAD and Tools
* Digital Signal Processing and Image Processing IC Design
* Prototyping, Validation, and Verification

2009 International Symposium on Physical Design
Marriott Mission Valley, San Diego, California, USA
March 29 - April 1, 2009
http://www.ispd.cc
Sponsored by ACM/SIGDA with Technical Co-Sponsorship from IEEE/CAS and
IEEE/CEDA
Additional support from Cadence, IBM Research, Sun Microsystems, SpringSoft,
Synopsys, and Tela Innovations
The International Symposium on Physical Design provides a high-quality forum
for the exchange of ideas on the physical layout design of VLSI systems. The
scope of this symposium includes all aspects of physical design, from
high-level interactions with logic synthesis, down to back-end performance
analysis and verification.
Each regular paper presentation runs 25 minutes, and each invited talk has
30 minutes. The ISPD'09 Best Paper Award nominees are marked with an
asterisk (*).
