IWLS 2009
18th International Workshop on Logic & Synthesis
Cadence Research Laboratories Berkeley, California July 31 - August 2, 2009 (Co-located with DAC).

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. The emphasis is on novelty and intellectual rigor.

Call for Papers (please post/distribute).

Paper submission is via the EDAS system.

Please log onto EDAS at http://edas.info. (Create an account for yourself if you haven't used the system before). Select the "Submit Paper" tab; scroll down to find "IWLS'09"; click on the pencil-and-paper icon in the "Submit" column.

Please note that the paper submission deadline is May 15, 2009 (midnight EST). There will be no further extensions issued past this deadline.

The program will be announced after paper selection is finalized.

Invited talks will be announced soon.

Online registration link will be posted after the paper selection process.
