Disruptive Computer Design

The theme for ICCD 2009 is Disruptive Computer Design; submitted papers consistent with this theme are encouraged. Authors are invited to submit technical papers in accordance to the authors' instructions describing original work in one of the following areas:

COMPUTER SYSTEMS: METHODS, IMPLEMENTATIONS AND APPLICATIONS

Advanced computer architecture for general and application-specific enhancement; System design methods for uni- and parallel processors; Design methods for homogeneous and heterogeneous multi-core processor systems and system-on-chip designs; IP and platform-based designs; HW/SW co-design; Modeling and performance analysis; Support for security, languages and operating systems; Smart Cards; Real-time Systems; Application-specific and embedded software optimization; Optimizing and parallelizing compiler support for multithreaded and multi-core designs; Memory system and Network system optimization.

PROCESSOR ARCHITECTURE

Microarchitecture design techniques for uni- and multi-core processors: instruction-level parallelism, pipelining, caching, branch prediction, multithreading, computer arithmetic; Techniques for low-power; secure, and reliable processor designs; Embedded, network, graphic, system-on-chip, application-specific and digital signal processor design; real-life design challenges: case studies, tradeoffs.

LOGIC AND CIRCUIT DESIGN

Circuits and design techniques for digital, memory, analog and mixed-signal systems; Circuits and design techniques for high performance and low power; Circuits and design techniques for robustness under process variability and radiation; Design techniques for emerging process technologies (MEMs, spintronics, nano, quantum); Asynchronous circuits; Signal processing and arithmetic circuits, and circuits for graphic processor design.

ELECTRONIC DESIGN AUTOMATION

High-level, logic and physical synthesis. Physical planning, design and early estimation for large circuits; Automatic analysis and optimization of timing, power and noise; Tools for multiple-clock domains, asynchronous and mixed timing methodologies; CAD support for FPGAs, ASSPs, structured ASICs, platform-based design and networks-on-chip; DfM and OPC methodologies; Tools, methodologies and design strate-gies for emerging technologies (MEMs, spintronics, nano, quantum).

VERIFICATION AND TEST

Functional, transaction-level, RTL, and gate-level modeling and verification of hardware designs; Simulation-based and formal techniques for functional design verification; Dynamic simulation, equivalence checking, formal verification, model and property checking, and theorem proving; high-level design validation; hardware emulation, modeling languages, assertion-based verification, coverage-analysis, constrained-random test generation; design error debug and diagnosis; Hardware/Software validation; Fault modeling; Fault simulation and ATPG; Fault tolerance; DFT and BIST; SoC verification.

Historically paper acceptance rate at ICCD has been in low 30%
