Location: Pune, India

The 31st International Conference on VLSI Design

The 17th International Conference on Embedded Systems

This joint conference is a forum for researchers and designers to present and discuss current topics in VLSI design, electronic design automation, embedded systems, and emerging technologies. Two days of tutorials will be followed by three days of regular paper sessions, special sessions, and embedded tutorials. Industry presentation sessions along with exhibits, panel discussions, Design Contest, and Education Forum round off the program. The conference is followed by the Reliability Aware System Design and Test (RASDAT) workshop.
