The International Workshop on Logic and Synthesis is the premier forum for research in synthesis, optimization, and verification of integrated circuits and systems. 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 encourages the early dissemination of ideas and results. The workshop accepts complete papers 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: hardware synthesis and optimization; software synthesis; hardware/software co-synthesis; power and timing analysis; testing, validation, and verification; synthesis for reconfigurable architectures; hardware compilation for domain-specific languages; and design experiences. Submissions on modeling, analysis, and synthesis for emerging technologies and platforms are particularly encouraged. The workshop format includes paper presentations, invited talks, social lunch and dinner gatherings, and recreational activities. Check out our call for papers.
Only complete papers with original and previously unpublished material are permitted. Submissions must be no longer than 8 pages (reference excluded), double column, 10-point font (we recommend using the ACM template or the IEEE template, but not necessarily). Accepted papers are distributed only to IWLS participants. Double-blind policy: IWLS uses a double-blind reviewing system. Manuscripts must not identify authors or their affiliations; those that do will not be considered. If you have questions about how to meet these guidelines, please contact the program chairs before the submission deadline. EasyChair IWLS 2025 submission page
The competition this year is a continuation of the IWLS competitions held in the last three years. The decision to continue the competition is based on the observation that the quality of the results has not saturated. Indeed, the competition started in 2022, and the results produced by the participants in 2023 were on average 15% better that those in 2022. Similarly, the results in 2024 were on average 8% better than those in 2023. It will be interesting to see how much progress will be achieved this year. For details, please check out the call for submission for the programming contest below. IWLS 2025 Programming Contest Call for Submissions Benchmarks. The competition has two sets of benchmarks: the first set of benchmarks is identical to that used in 2022; the second set of benchmarks is composed of unmodified and unobfuscated practical circuits, many of which currently pose problems for hardware designers and EDA tool flows.

The location of the workshop venue and nearby hotels will be available soon.
The IWLS community maintains a set of logic synthesis benchmarks (IWLS'05 and EPFL), available in various formats.
