2010 23rd International Conference on VLSI Design: concurrently with the 9th International Conference on Embedded Systems Design

This joint conference is a forum for researchers and designers to present and discuss various aspects of VLSI design, electronic design automation (EDA), enabling technologies, and embedded systems. It covers the entire spectrum of activities in the two vital areas of very large scale integration (VLSI) and embedded systems, which underpin the semiconductor industry. The five-day technical program will consist of three days of regular paper sessions, special sessions, embedded tutorials, industry presentation sessions, panel discussions, design contests and industrial exhibits, and two days of full-day tutorials.

Electronic systems are ubiquitous today in multiple applications, with emerging markets in health-care, entertainment and machine intelligence spurring several new ones. These markets often hinge delicately on the right blend of technology and affordability. Accordingly, the theme for this conference is set as Affordable Technology for Emerging Markets .
