AIMS AND SCOPE OF DATICS-NPC’12 WORKSHOP

DATICS Workshops were initially created by a network of researchers and engineers both from academia and industry in the areas of Design, Analysis and Tools for Integrated Circuits and Systems. Recently, DATICS has been extended to the fields of Communication, Computer Science, Software Engineering and Information Technology. The main target of DATICS-NPC12 is to bring together software/hardware engineering researchers, computer scientists, practitioners and people from industry to exchange theories, ideas, techniques and experiences related to all aspects of DATICS.

DATICS-NPC’12 will be hosted by the 9th IFIP International Conference on Network and Parallel Computing (NPC 2012 - http://www.ftrai.org/npc2012) and take place in Gwangju, South Korea, 6-8 September 2012.
