  Driven by the rapid growth of  the  Internet,  communication  technologies,
  pervasive  computing,  and wireless and portable consumer electronics, Sys-
  tems-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 Confer-
  ence 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  Soci-
  ety 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.  Accommoda-
  tions  will  be available for $79.00 a night at the RIT Inn. Rochester, the
