DATICS-BCFIC 2012

AIMS AND SCOPE OF DATICS-BCFIC'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-BCFIC’12 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-BCFIC’12 will be hosted by the 2nd Baltic Conference on Future Internet Communications (BCFIC - http://bcfic.org) and take place in Vilnius, Lithuania, 25-27 April 2012.
