IMPORTANT DATES
Paper Submission Deadline: January 31, 2021 (9pm EST)
Acceptance Notification: March 31, 2021
Camera-Ready Paper Due: April 30, 2021

PAPER SUBMISSION
Authors are invited to submit full-length (6 pages maximum), original, unpublished papers along with an abstract of at most 200 words. To enable blind review, the author list should be omitted from the main document. Previously published papers or papers currently under review for other conferences/journals should NOT be submitted and will not be considered. Electronic submission in PDF format to the http://www.glsvlsi.org website is required. Author and contact information (name, affiliation, mailing address, telephone, fax, e-mail) must be entered during the submission process.

PAPER FORMAT
Submissions should be in camera-ready two-column format, following the ACM proceedings specifications located at:
https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template
and the classification system detailed at: http://www.acm.org/publications/class-2012

PAPER PUBLICATION AND PRESENTER REGISTRATION
Papers will be accepted for regular or poster presentations at the symposium. Every accepted paper MUST have at least one author registered to the symposium by the time the camera-ready paper is submitted; at least one of the authors is also expected to attend the symposium and present the paper.


Sincerely,
GLSVLSI organization team
