DATICS'09 - Call For Papers Apologies for any multiple copies received. We would appreciate it if you could distribute the following call for papers to any relevant mailing lists you know of. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DATICS: Design, Analysis and Tools for Integrated Circuits and Systems event was created by a network of researchers and engineers both from academia and industry. The first edition took place in Crete Island, Greece, July 22-24, 2008 ( http://digilander.libero.it/systemcfl/datics). The main target of DATICS'09 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 areas of design, analysis and tools for integrated circuits (e.g. digital, analog and mixed-signal circuits) and systems (e.g. real-time, hybrid and embedded systems). DATICS'09 also focuses on the fields of formal methods, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and low power design methodologies for integrated circuits and systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: * digital, analog, mixed-signal and asynchronous design * processor, memory and RF design * DSP and FPGA/ASIC-based design * synthesis and physical design * ATPG, design-for-testability and built-in self test methodologies * embedded system hardware/software co-design and co-verification * CAD/EDA methodologies and tools * statistical timing analysis and low power design methodologies * network and system on-a-chip * application-specific SoCs * communication and wireless sensor networks (WSNs) * specification languages: SystemC, SystemVerilog and UML * theory and foundations: model checking, SAT-based methods, use of PSL, compositional methods and probabilistic methods * applications of formal methods: equivalence checking, CSP applications and transaction-level verification * verification methods based on hardware description/system-level languages (e.g. VHDL, SystemVerilog and SystemC) * industrial experience reports and case studies * real-time, hybrid and embedded systems * all areas of modelling, simulation and verification of systems * formalisms: process algebras, petri-nets, automaton theory and BDDs * software engineering (including real-time Java, real-time UML and performance metrics) DATICS'09 has been organised into two special sessions: * DATICS-IMECS'09 (http://digilander.libero.it/systemcfl/datics09-imecs) will be hosted by the International MultiConference of Engineers and Computer Scientists 2009 (IMECS'09) which will take place in Hong Kong, 18-20 March, 2009. * DATICS-ICIEA'09 (http://digilander.libero.it/systemcfl/datics09-iciea) will be hosted by the 4th IEEE Conference on Industrial Electronics and Applications (ICIEA'09) which will take place in Xi'an, China, 25-27 May, 2009.
