ASIC/SOC 2002 CALL FOR CORPORATE PARTICIPATION AND PAPERS
  
  The annual IEEE 2002 ASIC/SOC Conference is preparing for its 15th confer-
  ence in Rochester New York from September 25th through the 28th, and while
  last  year's  conference on September 12th had to be canceled, this year's
  conference will be better than ever.

  The ASIC/SOC Conference, sponsored by  the  Institute  of  Electrical  and
  Electronics  Engineers,  covers  all aspects of Application Specific Inte-
  grated Circuits and Systems on a Chip,  and  attracts  over  200  ASIC/SOC
  engineers, researchers, and educators from around the world.

  ASIC/SOC  offers industry a place to learn about the most current ASIC/SOC
  developments and hear leaders in the field,  such  as  Wilf  Corrigan  the
  founder and CEO of LSI Logic, and Hirokazu Hashimoto the President and CEO
  of NEC Electronics, address current issues facing the industry.

  While ASIC/SOC is an excellent place for engineers to learn about the most
  recent  engineering  developments, it is also an ideal place for companies
  to reach a very focused audience about advances in CAD and EDA tools, ASIC
  components/boards, equipment, and career opportunities.

  Again  this year, ASIC/SOC will accept a limited number of Corporate Spon-
  sors for coffee breaks, cocktail parties, and our banquet.  Sponsors  will
  appear in the ASIC/SOC published program, appear on the ASIC/SOC web page,
  and have the opportunity to exhibit and  display  posters  and  distribute
  brochures for the entire conference.

  If  your  company is interested in exhibiting at ASIC/SOC 2002 please con-
  tact me at  the  address  below  or  the  ASIC/SOC  Conference  office  at
  301-527-0900 x104, but either way, please distribute the attached Call for
  Papers to your employees world-wide and visit the ASIC/SOC 2002  web  page
  at http://asic.union.edu.

  Sincerely

    Driven   by   the   rapid  growth  of  the  Internet,   communication
    technologies, pervasive computing, and wireless and portable consumer
    electronics,  Systems-on-Chip (SoC) have become a dominant  issue  in
    today's  ASIC industry.  The transition from traditional Application-
    Specific-Integrated-Circuits  (ASIC)  to   SoCs   has   created   new
    challenges  in  Design  Methods,  Design  Tools,  Design  Automation,
    Manufacturing, Technology and Test.  The ASIC/SoC Conference provides
    a  forum  for  sharing  advances  in  ASIC  and  SoC  technology  and
    applications.  The 2002 Conference will offer three days of technical
    papers  and a full day of technical workshops. The IEEE Circuits  and
    Systems Society sponsors the ASIC/SoC Conference.
 
  GENERAL INFORMATION
  This year's ASIC/SOC Conference will be held at the Rochester Institute  of
  Technology Inn and Conference Center.  Rochester New York is served by  the
  Greater Rochester International Airport and is within easy driving distance
  of   the   Buffalo   International  Airport  and  most  of   New   England.
  Accommodations  will  be  available for $79.00 a  night  at  the  RIT  Inn.
  Rochester,  the third largest urban area in New York State, offers  a  wide
  range of cultural, historic, and recreational activities within the relaxed
  atmosphere of upstate New York.
 
  TECHNICAL SCOPE
  Papers are invited which address new and previously unpublished results  in
  the  following  categories  or in related areas.   Proposals  for  tutorial
  papers,  tutorials, workshops, and panel sessions are  also  invited.   The
  best paper will be acknowledged with a best paper award.
