[SCOPE]

 

The Euromicro Conference on Digital System Design (DSD) addresses all
aspects of (embedded, pervasive and high-performance) digital and mixed
hardware/software system engineering, down to microarchitectures, digital
circuits and VLSI techniques. It is a discussion forum for researchers and
engineers from academia and industry working on state-of-the-art
investigations, development and applications. It focuses on advanced circuit
and system design and design automation concepts, paradigms, methods and
tools, as well as on modern implementation technologies from full custom in
nanometer technology nodes to FPGA and to multicore infrastructures.
Compiler assisted ASIP, CMP, SMP, SMT, DSP-VLIW, GPU and platform based
system design research results are welcome. Design and Verification
Languages and Standards, High Level Synthesis, Efficiency, Density, Signal
Integrity, Testability, Timing Analysis and Timing Closure, Asynchronous
Techniques, Reconfigurable Architectures, Power Consumption, Computational
Power Speed and Performance, Productive Design Technology and Engineering
Flows, Manufacturability, Cost, Reliability, Error Resilience, Complexity,
or Process Variability issues, Modeling, Design Experiences are covered in
DSD. 

The IEEE Conference Publishing Services (CPS), publishes the DSD
Proceedings, which are available worldwide through the IEEE Xplore Digital
Library. An extended version of the best papers will be published in a
special issue of the ISI-indexed Microprocessors and Microsystems: Embedded
Hardware Design journal, printed by Elsevier.

emerging fields of interest to the digital systems design research
community.  Proposals for special sessions must include a title, contact
information for the session chair(s), and a list of authors who have been or
will be contacted to present papers if the session is accepted. Proposals
for new special sessions should be submitted to the Program Chair
(pkitsos at eap.gr) before January 7, 2011.

 

[SUBMISSION GUIDELINES]

 

Regular Papers: Prospective authors are encouraged to submit their
manuscripts for review electronically through the following web page
(https://www.conftool.net/dsd2011/) or by sending the paper to the Program
Chair via email (pkitsos at eap.gr, only if an unexpected web access problem is
encountered) before the deadline for submission. Each manuscript should
include the complete paper text, all illustrations, and references. The
manuscript should conform to the required IEEE format: single-spaced, double
column, A4/US letter page size, 10-point size Times Roman font, up to 8
pages. In order to conduct a blind review, no indication of the authors'
names should appear in the submitted manuscript, references included.
