PATMOS'96
Sixth International Workshop on
Power and Timing Modeling, Optimization and Simulation
September 23-25, 1996
DEIS Università di Bologna, Bologna, Italy
Call for Papers
Paper deadline April 5, 1996
The workshop is the sixth one of a series of international workshops having
been held in Kaiserslautern, Germany, 1991, Paris, France, 1992,
Montpellier, France, 1993, Barcelona, Spain, 1994, and Oldenburg, Germany,
1995. PATMOS has over the years evolved into a well established and
outstanding series of open European events on power and timing at the
logical and physical level of integrated circuit design. The recently
increased interest especially in low-power design gives an additional
momentum to the interest in this workshop. Despite its growth, the workshop
can still be considered as an informal but very focused conference
featuring high level scientific presentations together with open
discussions and panel sessions in a free and easy environment. In 1996 the
venue will be Bologna, northern Italy.
Scope
The objective of this workshop is to provide a forum to discuss and
investigate the emerging problems in the design methodologies and CAD-tools
for the new generation of IC technologies. A major emphasis of the
technical program is on speed and low-power aspects such as timing, power
and low-voltage modeling, characterisation, logic and layout design,
allowing performance driven design for advanced technologies. The scope of
the workshop includes, but is not limited to design and CAD aspects of:
- Modeling: timing, power, low-voltage, interconnect, crosstalk
- Specification: clocking, synchronisation, asynchronous and self
timed systems
- Optimization: low voltage low power logic families, logic
parallelization, pipelining, fast low power arithmetic
- Low level synthesis: low voltage design, low power design, high
speed design, wiring and layout issues
- Physical design: module generation, library optimization and
characterisation
- Physical test and process characterisation: low VT low voltage
process, IDDQ, models and parameter extraction, experimental design for
process control
- Design methods and CAD tools: for low voltage low power design,
high speed circuits
- Trade-offs between devices, architectures and technologies, bench
mark comparison
Call for Contributions
Contributions are invited for regular presentations and discussion
sessions. Prospective authors are invited to submit, by April 5, 1996, 6
copies of a complete paper not exceeding 10 pages including a 100-word
abstract and illustrations, A4 camera-ready format, Times 14, 1 1/2 space,
without any indication of the author's name or affiliation. The papers will
be reduced to A5 format in the proceedings. Submitted papers will be
reviewed formally and anonymously by several reviewers. Notification of
acceptance: June 10, 1996. Deadline for final version of papers: July 5,
1996. Proposals for the panel sessions must be received also no later than
April 5, 1995. All submissions should be sent to the program chair and
include a single cover page with the following information:
- Name, affiliation, e-mail, fax-number and complete address of each
author.
- Presenter's name, in case of acceptance.
- Signed Statement: "All appropriate organisational approvals for the
publication of this paper have been obtained. If accepted, the author(s)
will prepare the final manuscript in time for inclusion in the proceedings.
The copyright will be granted to the publisher of the proceedings. The
presenter will present the paper at PATMOS'96."
