International Conference on Computer Design ICCD 2004
October 11-13, 2004 in San Jose, California
Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society
and the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society.
In cooperation with IEEE Electron Devices Society.
The
International Conference on Computer Design encompasses a wide range of
topics in the research, design and implementation of computer systems
and their components. ICCD's multi-disciplinary emphasis provides an ideal
environment for developers and researchers to discuss practical and theoretical
work covering system and computer architecture, verification and test,
design and technology, and tools and methodologies.
This year's conference theme:
The Convergence of Computing, Communications,
and Consumer Electronics
Submitted
papers consistent with this theme are especially encouraged.
Authors are invited to submit technical papers in accordance to the authors'
instructions describing original work in one of the following five areas:
Computer Systems Design and Applications
- Advanced computer architecture for general and application-specific enhancement
- Modeling and performance analysis
- Support for operating systems and languages
- Memory hierarchy
- System design methods for uni- and parallel-processors
Processor Architecture
- Microarchitecture design techniques
- Instruction level parallelism
- Superscalar and dataflow techniques
- Pipelining, caching, branch prediction, and multithreading techniques
- Computer arithmetic
- Embedded network, system-on-chip, and application specific processor design
Logic and Circuit Design
- Circuit design for digital, memory, and mixed-signal systems
- Design techniques for timing, noise, power, and layout optimization
- Design prototyping
- Signal processing and arithmetic circuits
- Asynchronous circuits
- Circuit optimization techniques for emerging process technologies
Tools and Methodology
- Design methodologies for large systems
- Concurrent engineering methodologies
- Hardware description languages
- CAD for high-level and logic synthesis, physical design, automatic analysis and optimization of timing, power, and noise
- CAD algorithms and integrated CAD systems
Verification and Test
- Simulation-based and formal techniques for functional design verification
- Equivalence checking, property checking, theorem proving
- High-level design valation
- Design error debug & diagnosis
- Hardware/Software validation
- Fault modeling
- Fault simulation and ATPG
- Design for testability and BIST
- SoC testing
Papers describing novel methods and concepts or innovative features of new products, and focusing on the overall integration of these areas into the computer design process are of particular interest for ICCD.
Papers may be accepted as either regular papers or as short papers. Regular as well as short papers will be presented during parallel technical sessions. All papers will be included in a published proceedings.
Best paper awards will be selected at the discretion of the technical program committee, and will be presented at the conference.
At least one author of each paper must register for and attend the conference.
