"From Application to Architecture to Implementation"

The ICCD 2006 Organizing Committee thanks the participants and the Program Committees
for an excellent conference. We invite them to spread the word about ICCD and to participate again in 2007. Please visit www.iccd-conference.org often for news about ICCD 2007.

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.
