PATMOS 2008 is the eighteenth in a series of international workshops. The
PATMOS meeting has evolved into a leading scientific event, where industry and
academia meet to discuss power and timing aspects in modern integrated circuit
and system design. PATMOS 2008 is organized by INESC-ID and the Technical
University of Lisbon, in Lisbon, Portugal. For this edition, we have the
privilege to announce three outstanding keynote speakers: Ted Vucurevich,
Cadence, Sani Nassif, IBM and Floriberto Lima, Chipidea
- MIPS.
The PATMOS objective is to provide a forum to discuss and investigate
emerging challenges in methodologies and tools for the design of upcoming
generations of integrated circuits and systems, including reconfigurable
hardware such as FPGAs. The technical program will focus on timing, performance
and power consumption as well as architectural aspects with particular emphasis
on modeling, design, characterization, analysis and optimization. The emphasis
of the workshop is on, but is not limited to, the following topics:
Timing and Performance
- Methodologies and tools for the analysis, design and verification of
timing and performance properties of integrated circuits and systems at all
levels of abstraction;
- Statistical Timing Analysis, Design for Yield, Design for
Manufacturability;
- Special timing or performance related topics, e.g. crosstalk,
synchronization, GALS, side-channel attacks.
Power Dissipation
- Design techniques for low power circuits and systems at all levels of
abstraction;
- Methods and tools for analysis, characterization, design and optimization
of the power consumption;
- Low power architectures and libraries;
- Special power related topics, e.g. low voltage, leakage power, power
grid, interconnect power, clock tree power, power aware test pattern
generation, thermal effects.
Design Experience and Case Studies
- Examples, test cases, benchmarks or design studies which present
innovative solutions for timing, performance or power consumption related
design challenges.
Contributions are invited for regular presentations and discussion sessions.
Prospective authors are invited to submit their complete manuscript, no later than
March 31, 2008 (extended deadline), including a 100-word abstract and
illustrations, in A4 camera-ready format, not exceeding 10 pages or 5000 words.
Submitted papers will be reviewed formally and anonymously by several reviewers.
The PATMOS 2008 proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture
Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Electronic submission is
required and should follow the LNCS style. Selected papers will be included in
a special issue of Journal of Embedded Computing, published by IOS Press.
Proposals for panel sessions and special sessions are encouraged and must also be
received no later than March 31, 2008.
