VLSI for Next Generation CE

Abstract

The current research in VLSI explores emerging trends and novel ideas and concepts covering a broad range of topics in the area of VLSI: from VLSI circuits, systems, and design methods, to system-level design and systemon- chip issues, to bringing VLSI methods to new areas and technologies such as nano and molecular devices, MEMS, and quantum computing. Future design methodologies are also key topics of Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) research, as well as new Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools to support them. The purpose of this special section is to provide an insight into current research and development in aspects related to ISVLSI.
