Multibillion transistor System on Chip (SoC) devices, comprised of RF, analog, optical, digital and Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems
(MEMS), are integral parts of ubiquitous communication, entertainment, medical, logistics and carrier products. SoC has been the
enabling technology and main thrust behind the evolution of the Internet into a global communication and economic paradigm.
Recent advances in systems, deep-submicron and nano process technology are unleashing new opportunities, and also new
challenges. These challenges include managing design and verification complexity, EDA tools, on-chip communication, design reuse,
handling inevitable faults and the efficient integration of emerging MEMS and nano components into next generation SoCs.
The SOC Conference provides a premier forum for sharing advances in SoC technologies and applications in the areas of digital
systems, circuit architectures, design methods, tools and automation, manufacturing and test, and emerging MEMS and nano
technologies.
The 22nd SOCC will be held in Northern Ireland under the auspices of the Institute of Electronics, Communications and Information
Technology (ECIT) and Queen's University Belfast, and will offer three days of technical papers, technical workshops, and a vendor
exhibition.

SUBMISSION OF PAPER AND WORKSHOP/TUTORIAL PROPOSALS
Electronic paper submissions require a full paper in pdf format, limited to four double-column IEEE format pages, and including
figures and references. SOCC 2009 also welcomes workshop and tutorial proposals in the related areas of SoC. A proposal with title,
a half-page summary, and speaker's short bio should be submitted to the Workshop Chair by March 31, 2009. For corporate
sponsorship and exhibition, please contact the Exhibition Chair.
The SOCC proceedings will be published by the IEEE Xplore®. Authors of selected papers with merit will be invited to submit an
extended version for possible publication in a special issue of the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems.
