Fourth International Symposium on Advanced Research in Asynchronous Circuits and Systems

University of California, San Diego

March 30-April 2, 1998
Catamaran Resort Hotel, San Diego, California

CALL FOR PAPERS

General Information

ASYNC'98, the Fourth International Symposium on Advanced Research in Asynchronous Circuits and Systems, is a successor to ASYNC'94 (Utah, USA), ASYNC'96 (Aizu, Japan), and ASYNC'97 (Eindhoven, The Netherlands). ASYNC'98 is hosted by University of California, San Diego and sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on VLSI. In addition to sponsorship by UCSD and IEEE Computer Society, sponsorship of industrial partners is anticipated. Proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press.

Topics of Interest

A major goal of the conference is to identify application domains where asynchronous circuit techniques are of practical interest and to articulate, quantify, and demonstrate their potential advantages (such as high speed, low power, low EM radiation, and high reliability). Special emphasis is given to (industrial) applications, functional ICs, and mature CAD tools. Furthermore, attention is paid to technical innovations that may help improve the cost, quality, performance, or testability of the final product.

Topics include but not limited to:

Mixed-timing circuits and asynchronous / synchronous interfaces
Asynchronous architectures, circuits, and techniques for low power / high speed
Testing and testability of asynchronous circuits
Power, performance, and reliability analysis of asynchronous circuits and systems
Synthesis, simulation, and verification of asynchronous circuits
Formal techniques for asynchronous circuits and systems
Novel techniques and future opportunities for asynchronous circuits
