VLSI-SoC’24 seeks proposals for Special Sessions. Proposed topics include, but are not limited to, hot and emerging topics relevant to VLSI-SoC, as well as cross topics (i.e. topics which can be considered "border line" for the VLSI community, but have, or are expected to have, a significant impact on test research/development/application/implementation activities). Proposers of Special Sessions are assumed to be able and willing to serve as organizers of the session, i.e., contact speakers, moderators, etc. Special Session organizers can also be speakers or moderators in their own proposals. Perspective Special Session organizers can also collaborate with potential embedded tutorial presenters, for proposing a special track topic which can homogenize a special session and a tutorial session across a single topic.

Guidelines

Submitted proposals must satisfy an abstract of up to two A4 pages outlining the session’s scope and topic(s), the objectives and relevance of the proposed session to VLSI-SoC, the format of the session, a list of prospective  speakers along with short bios for each potential speaker. Your proposal should indicate the duration and layout of your proposed session. The duration should be at least 60 minutes AND no more than 90-minutes. The layout should show at least two 30-minutes (long) presentations AND at most four presentations.

Please also add the following information:

  • Please add the title, name and contact information of the session organizer(s) and, if different, the session moderators. Please include max five sentences bio of the organizer(s), which should indicate his/her/their track record of organizing such session in an international event.
