22nd IFIP/IEEE International Conference on Very Large Scale Integration
VLSI-SoC 2014
October 6-8, 2014
Playa del Carmen, Mexico
Iberostar Tucán and Quetzal Hotel

VLSI-SoC 2014 is the 22nd in a series of international conferences sponsored by IFIP TC 10 Working Group 10.5, IEEE CEDA and IEEE CASS, which explores the state-of-the-art in the areas that surround Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) and System-on-Chip (SoC). Previous conferences have taken place in Edinburgh, Trondheim, Tokyo, Vancouver, Munich, Grenoble, Gramado, Lisbon, Montpellier, Darmstadt, Perth, Nice, Atlanta, Rhodes, Florianópolis, Madrid, Hong Kong, Santa Cruz and Istanbul. The purpose of VLSI-SoC is to provide a forum to exchange ideas and showcase research as well industrial results in EDA, design methodology, test, design, verification, devices, process, systems issues and application domains of VLSI and SoC.

Paper Submission: Papers should present original research and industrial results not published or submitted for pub- lication in other forums. Electronic submission in PDF for- mat to the http://www.vlsi-soc.com website is required. The proceedings will be published by IEEE and available through IEEE Xplore.

A selection of the conference best papers will be invited to submit an extended version to be included as chapters of a book to be published by Springer.
Paper Format: Papers should not exceed 6 pages (single- spaced, 2 columns, 10pt font). Submissions should be in camera-ready, following the IEEE proceedings specifica- tions located at:

http://www.ieee.org/web/publications/pubservices/confpub/AuthorTool/conferenceTemplates.html

Paper Publication and Presenter Registration: Papers will be accepted for regular or poster presentation at the confer- ence. Every accepted paper MUST have at least one au- thor registered at the conference by the time the camera- ready paper is submitted; the author is also expected to attend the conference and present the paper. A limited number of travel grants are available to needy PhD stu- dents. Please see the web site for more information.
