CALL FOR PAPERS AND PARTICIPATION

VLSI Design 2004

The Seventeenth International Conference on VLSI Design
and
The Third International Conference on Embedded Systems
Design

January 5-9, 2004, Hotel Renaissance, Mumbai, India.

************************************************************************
The General Chair, Prof. A.N.Chandorkar, and the Program Chairs,
Prof. Dinesh Sharma and Dr. Srimat Chakradhar, would like to
invite
research papers for the 17th VLSI Design Conference and the 3rd
International Conference on Embedded Systems Design. The details
are as follows.

The conference is a forum for researchers and designers to
present
and discuss various aspects of VLSI Design, electronic design
automation
(EDA), and VLSI technologies. It covers the entire spectrum of
activities
in these areas. The conference will feature regular papers
sessions,
short paper sessions, special sessions, panel discussions, and
industrial
exhibits. A two-day program of tutorials on January 5-6 on topics
of
