Call for Papers: International Symposium on Asynchronous Circuits and Systems
The International Symposium on
Asynchronous Circuits and Systems (ASYNC 2010), being held 3-6 May 2010 in Grenoble, France, is the premier forum for researchers
to present their latest findings in the area of asynchronous design. Authors are invited to submit full papers on any aspect of asynchronous
design, ranging from the core topics of design, synthesis and test, to
asynchronous applications in system-level integration and emerging
computing technologies. Topics of interest include, but are not
limited to: •Asynchronous/mixed-timed
circuits, architectures, memories and interfaces, including interfaces
with analogue and mixed-signal domain
•Design models and methods for asynchronous buses, networks on chip (NoC), system-on-chip (SoC) and multi-chip interconnect
•Asynchronous power-adaptive computing, ultra-low power systems, electronics for energy harvestin
•Asynchrony in emerging technologies, including genetic, neural, nano and quantum computing
•Embedded system design with asynchronous architectures/implementation
•Elastic and latency-tolerant synchronous design and GALS system
•Synchronization, arbitration, metastability modeling and analysis
•CAD tools for asynchronous design, synthesis, analysis and optimization
•Physical design of asynchronous logic and pipeline
•Formal methods for correctness, and performance/power analysis
•Test, reliability, security, and radiation tolerance
•Asynchronous variability-tolerant design and design for manufacturing
•Motivating case studies, comparisons, and applications
Submission deadline is 30 November. Learn more

Dr. Alan Wilson Appointed Charles P. Reames Endowed Chair in Electrical Engineering at UCLA
Alan N. Willson, Jr., who has been on the UCLA faculty for 37 years,
has just been named to the newly established Charles P. Reames Endowed
Chair in Electrical Engineering. This appointment is the culmination
of an extremely distinguished career, which includes a large number of
major grants, prizes and awards for teaching and research achievements.
He is, for example, the only researcher ever to have won two Baker
Awards (given to the best paper across all fields in all IEEE Journals,
Transactions and Magazines during the year of publication). Read more

Circuits and Systems Symposium
The 2010 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS
2010) is being held 30 May-2 June 2010 in Paris, France. ISCAS 2010 is
the
world's premier networking forum of leading researchers in the highly
active fields of theory, design and implementation of circuits and
systems. Sponsored by the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society and
supported by the Institut Superieur d'Electronique de Paris, the
Symposium will focus on
circuits and systems employing nanodevices and circuit fabrics and
their implementation cost, switching speed, energy efficiency and
reliaility. ISCAS 2010 will include oral and poster sessions;
tutorials given by experts in state-of-the-art topics; and special
sessions, with the aim of complementing the regular program with topics
of particular interest to the circuits and systems community that cut
across and beyond disciplines traditionally represented at ISCAS. Learn more

Winners of IEEE Engineering Your World Contest Announced
IEEE recently announced the winners of the IEEE Engineering Your World
video competition which was held as part of the global celebration of
IEEE’s 125th Anniversary. The contest recognized the top videos that
depicted the most innovative and creative use of science, engineering
and technology to enhance everyday life.
The competition’s judges narrowed the entries down to five
finalists, which were then part of an online vote. The grand prize
winner went to the “Meat Thermometer” video submitted by Michael
Robbins from MIT.

Nominations Open for Inaugural Award Recognizing Scientific Entrepreneurs
The Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation and the National Postdoctoral
Association are accepting nominations for the inaugural Kauffman
Foundation Outstanding Postdoctoral Entrepreneur Award, which
recognizes and celebrates a scientific researcher who has successfully
commercialized his or her discoveries through entrepreneurship. The
researcher must have completed postdoctoral research in the United
States at some point in his/her career.
Nominations for the award are open to scientific researchers who
have completed postdoctoral research in the United States and have
founded companies to commercialize their intellectual property.
Nominees will be evaluated primarily on their technical innovation and
the social value their enterprises have produced.
The researcher selected to win the Outstanding Postdoctoral
Entrepreneur Award will receive a U$10,000 honorarium. A second award,
the Emerging Postdoctoral Entrepreneur Award, will present a US$2,500
honorarium to a promising postdoctoral entrepreneur. Both awards will
be presented at the National Postdoctoral Association's 8th Annual
Meeting on 12-14 March 2010, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Learn more
