SOCC 2020 - Virtual

Date: Sep 08, 2020 6:00 am – Sep 11, 2020 5:00 pm
Location: Virtual

33rd IEEE International System-on-Chip Conference (SOCC 2020)

Multibillion transistor System on Chip (SoC) devices, comprised of digital, analog, RF, optical, and Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), are integral parts of ubiquitous communication, computing, entertainment, medical, logistics and carrier products. SoC has been the enabling technology and main thrust behind the evolution of the Internet into a global, cloud based communication and economic paradigm. Recent advances in systems, deep-submicron, nano process, and quantum-based technology are unleashing new opportunities, and also new challenges. These challenges include managing design and verification complexity, EDAtools, on-chip communication, design reuse, handling inevitable faults, and the efficient integration of emerging MEMS and nano components into next generation SoCs.

For more than 30 years the IEEE International System-on-Chip Conference (SOCC) has been the premier forum for sharing the latest advancements in SoC architecture, systems, logic and circuit design, process technology, test, design tools, and applications. We proudly continue this tradition with the 2020 conference.

The 33rd SOCC offers a three-day technical program including keynote and plenary speeches, oral and poster presentations, hot-topic panel sessions, and tutorials held by experts in the field. In addition, SOCC has a long tradition of high-class social events complementing the technical program, helping you to discuss your work with your colleagues, and enhancing your professional network.

For the first time in its history, SOCC will be held as a fully virtual, on-line event, with a mixture of pre-recorded presentations and live sessions.
