17th International Workshop on Logic & Synthesis | ||
Granlibakken Lodge
Lake Tahoe, California June 4 - June 6, 2008 (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.
