Mission: The International Workshop on Logic and Synthesis is dedicated to research in synthesis, optimization, and verification of integrated circuits. Research on logic synthesis for emerging technologies and for novel computing platforms, such as nanoscale systems and biological systems, is also strongly encouraged. The workshop accepts complete papers as well as abstracts highlighting important new problems in the early stages of development. The emphasis is on novelty and intellectual rigor.

Call for papers

Call for Papers (please post/distribute).

The International Workshop on Logic and Synthesis is the premier forum for research in synthesis, optimization, and verification of integrated circuits. Research on logic synthesis for emerging technologies and for novel computing platforms, such as nanoscale systems and biological systems, is also strongly encouraged. The workshop accepts complete papers as well as abstracts, highlighting important new problems in the early stages of development, without providing complete solutions. The emphasis is on novelty and intellectual rigor.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): synthesis and optimization; power and timing analysis; testing, validation and verification; architectures and compilation; and design experiences. Submissions on modeling, analysis and synthesis for emerging technologies and platforms are also encouraged. Both complete papers as well as extended abstracts highlighting new problems and new topics of research are welcomed. Only original and previously unpublished material is permitted.

Accepted papers are distributed only to IWLS participants. The workshop format includes paper presentations, posters, invited talks, social lunch and dinner gatherings, and recreational activities.

Important Dates

Abstract submission: March 12, 2010 - 11.59pm Hawaii Standard Time

Paper submission deadline: March 19 - 11.59pm Hawaii Daylight Time

Acceptance notification: April 9, 2010

Final manuscript: May 5, 2010

The submission deadline of March 19, 2010 is final, there will be no extension

Submission instructions

Submissions must be in PDF format, no longer than 8 pages, double column, 10-point font, on either letter or A4 paper. Submissions are made electronically through the EDAS system.

To submit a contribution, you must first register the paper by the abstract submission deadline, March 12, 2010:
Log on to EDAS at http://edas.info/N8845. If you do not already have an account you may create one. Enter the title and abstract of your paper. Once submitted, you will be given the opportunity to enter all the authors of your paper. After you complete the registration, you will receive a confirmation email from EDAS with a link for the paper upload. You can upload your paper as often as you wish up until the submission deadline of March 19, 2010. Please keep in mind that the paper submission deadline is final.

Registration

Rates are not available, yet. We are striving to offer heavily discounted rates for students and unemployed attendees. In addition, attendees who plan to attend both IWLS and DAC will have higher priority for the several travel support opportunities provided through DAC.

Benchmarks

The IWLS community maintains a set of benchmarks, synthesized and mapped in Verilog and OpenAccess.
