The International Conference on Computer Design encompasses a wide range of topics in the research, design, and implementation of computer systems and their components. ICCD's multi-disciplinary emphasis provides an ideal environment for developers and researchers to discuss practical and theoretical work covering system and computer architecture, verification and test, design and technology, and tools and methodologies.
The International Conference of Computer Design (ICCD) was founded along with the International Conference on Computer-Aided Design (ICCAD) in 1982 to address critical needs in the design of large-scale integrated systems. ICCAD was founded to focus on the algorithmic core of CAD, whereas ICCD was oriented to design and CAD applications.
ICCD is the premiere conference covering the research, design, and implementation of computer systems and their components.
ICCD's multidisciplinary emphasis provides an ideal environment for developers and researchers to discuss practical and theoretical work.
Papers are presented in five conference tracks which focus on design and CAD applications:

Computer Systems: Methods, Implementations and Applications
Processor Architecture
Logic and Circuit Design
Electronic Design Automation
Verification and Test

Multidisciplinary special sessions have become the hallmark of ICCD, highlighting key research concepts or large design projects.

Papers describing novel methods and concepts or innovative features of new products, and focusing on the overall integration of these areas into the computer design process are of particular interest to ICCD. Papers may be accepted as either regular papers or as short papers. All papers will be presented during parallel technical sessions, and will be included in a published proceedings. At least one author of the paper must register for and attend the conference.
Proposals for embedded tutorials and panel discussions are also solicited, and should be sent to: Peter-Michael Seidel, seidel@engr.smu.edu
