    - July 2015, Montpellier. France

    Featuring contributions focused on the emerging trends and novel ideas and concepts in the area of VLSI.

    The Vision

    This Symposium explores emerging trends, novel ideas and concepts in the area of VLSI. The Symposium covers a range of topics: from VLSI circuits, systems and design methods to system level design and system-on-chip issues, to bringing VLSI experience to new areas and technologies like nano- and molecular devices, MEMS, and quantum computing. Future design methodologies will also be one of the key topics at the workshop, as well as new CAD tools to support them. Over almost two decades the symposium has been an unique forum promoting multidisciplinary research and new visionary approaches in the area of VLSI. The Symposium is bringing together leading scientists and researchers from academia and industry. The papers from this symposium have been published as the special issues of top archival journals. This fact indicates a very high quality of the sympo-sium papers, and we are determined to keep a strong emphasis on this critical aspect of any conference. The symposium proceedings are published by IEEE Computer Society Press. The Symposium has established a reputation in bringing well-known international scientists as invited speakers, and this trend will continue.

    Seeking

    Contributrions are sought in the following areas: Emerging Trends in VLSI, Nanoelectronics, Molecular, Biological and Quantum Computing. MEMS, VLSI Circuits and Systems, Field-programmable and Reconfigurable Systems, System Level Design, System-on-a-Chip Design, Application-Specific Low Power, VLSI System Design, System Issues in Complexity, Low Power, Heat Dissipation, Power Awareness in VLSI Design, Test and Verification, Mixed-Signal Design and Analysis, Electrical/Packaging Co-Design, Physical Design, Intellectual property creating and sharing.

    Details

    The Symposium Program will include contributed papers and speakers invited by the Program Committee, as well as a poster session. The keynote addresses, panels and special sessions are planned as well. Authors should submit their original work using the web based submission system. Initial submissions to the conference are limited to six pages. ISVLSI uses double blind review mechanism and authors information should not be provided in the initial manuscript.

    Venue

    The Symposium Will Be Held At

    Faculte de Medecine

    The venue's address is:
    Faculté de Médecine de Montpellier
    2 Rue de l'Ecole de Medecine
    34000 Montpellier
    France

    Getting Here

    By plane, you can either use the Lyon / Paris hub (flight from Lyon or Paris to Montpellier takes around 1h) or use the low cost companies in and around Montpellier. Check RyanAir and EasyJet for further details. Please note that around Montpellier there will be several airports such as Beziers, Avignon or Carcassonne opened during the summer. Marseille or Lyon are at around 2h by train from Montpellier.

    Please note that there are several international destinations accessible on direct trains (Valencia, Barcelona, Bruxelles). To book your train ticket you can use the Voyages SNCF website. The sooner you book your ticket the cheaper it is. Since Montpellier is a very popular touristic destination during the summer, we advise booking in advance.

    By Air

    The Montpellier Mediterranean International Airport (MPL) is located 10 km from downtown.

    • 15 daily flights between Montpellier and Paris Orly (ORY) and Roissy-Charles-De-Gaulle (CDG) airports (flight time only 1h10)
    • 3 daily flights between Montpellier and Lyon
    • 57 international destinations, served by 11 traditional and low-cost airlines (AirArabia, AirFrance, AirMéditerranée, EasyJet, Fram, Iberia, RyanAir)

    Getting To Town

    When arriving at the airport there are two possibilities. Either take a shuttle bus in front of the terminal, or take a taxi.

    • There is an airport shuttle with convenient departures after every flight from Paris. Arrival at “Place de l’Europe” in the Antigone district of Montpellier. It takes 15-20 minutes to get to the town center. Tickets are on sale at the bus shuttle. Single fare ticket (for the bus shuttle only) 1,60€ (one-way)
      Intermodal ticket with city bus/TaM included. Arrival at âPlace de l'Europe” and then take the tramway: Line 1 â Direction Mosson and Stop at â Place De la Comediee, 2,60€ (one-way)

    • Please note that the taxi to the city center is around 30 euros (depending on the time and the number of luggage you have). The best is to share a taxi with people going to the city center and then take the tram to your hotel location. The trams run until 1AM and tickets can be purchased in every tram station.

    By Train

    The SNCF train station is located in the town center, with several high speed trains (TGV) to and from Paris every day. The trip to Paris takes around 3h30. The two major cities, Lyon and Marseille (which both have an international airport), are both within 2h by train, and Barcelona (Spain) at about 4h30.

    • The Station in Montpellier is 5 minutes away from «Le Faculte de Medecine»
    • The High Speed Train connects to: Paris (Roissy-CDG Airport) (11 trains/day) - 3h30m, Lyon, and Lille.
    • The High Speed Train also has International connections to Barcelona, Brussels and Geneva
