<P><o:p><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono">System on Chip (SoC) has been the enabling technology behind the evolution <BR>of many of today’s ubiquitous technologies, such as Internet, mobile wireless <BR>technology, and high definition television. The information technology age, <BR>in turn, has fuelled a global communications revolution. SoC devices today <BR>include some or all of the major electronics technologies, comprising RF, <BR>analog, optical, digital, and Nano-Electro-Mechanical Systems (NEMS). Recent <BR>advances in systems, deep-submicron and nano process technology are unleashing <BR>new opportunities, but also creating new challenges. Managements of design and <BR>verification complexity, EDA tools, on-chip communication, and design reuse <BR>for SoCs are significant complications, and SoC fault detection is becoming <BR>more difficult as chip size is increasing.</FONT></o:p></P>
<P><o:p><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono">The SOC Conference is a premier forum for sharing advances in SoC technologies <BR>and applications in the areas of digital systems, circuit architectures, design <BR>methods, tools, automation, manufacturing, test, and emerging technologies. <BR>The 25th SOCC will be held in the City of Niagara Falls, New York and will offer <BR>three days of technical papers, technical workshops, and a vendor exhibition. <BR>For updates, please check our website regularly </FONT><A href="http://www.ieee-socc.org"><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono">http://www.ieee-socc.org</FONT></A><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono"> or <BR>follow us on twitter </FONT><A href="mailto:“@ieee_socc"><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono">“@ieee_socc</FONT></A><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono">” (or </FONT><A href="http://twitter.com/ieee_socc"><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono">http://twitter.com/ieee_socc</FONT></A><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono">).</FONT></o:p></P>
<P><o:p><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono"><STRONG>SUBMISSION OF PAPERS AND WORKSHOP/TUTORIAL PROPOSALS</STRONG> <BR>Electronic paper submissions require a full paper in pdf format, limited to <BR>six double-column IEEE format pages, and including figures and references. <BR>You must submit a 50 word abstract by April 16, 2012 and the full paper by <BR>April 23, 2012. SOCC 2012 also welcomes embedded tutorial proposals in the <BR>related areas of SoC. A proposal with title, a half-page summary, and speaker's <BR>short biographies should be submitted to the Tutorial Chair, by April 23, 2012. <BR>The SOCC proceedings will be published on IEEE Xplore®. </FONT></o:p></P>
<P><o:p><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono">Efforts will be made to publish select papers as a special section in an <BR>international journal.</FONT></o:p></P>
