ISSCC 2017 Call for Papers - NEW: Double-Blind Paper Review

The IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) 2017 Call for Papers is now posted online at http://submissions.mirasmart.com/ISSCC2017/PDF/ISSCC2017CFP.pdf.  ISSCC 2017 will be held Sunday-Thursday, February 5-9, 2017 at the San Francisco Marriott Marquis in San Francisco, CA.  ISSCC is the flagship conference of the Solid-State Circuits Society, and is the premier forum for the presentation of advances in solid-state circuits and systems-on-a-chip.

The ISSCC 2017 conference theme is “Intelligent Chips for a Smart World”. Advancements in solid-state circuits and systems continue to propel the ongoing fusion between the physical and virtual worlds. With the resulting growth in sensor deployment, data traffic and data center workloads, future systems must employ “intelligent” chips at all levels of the system stack to improve the efficiency at which we acquire, network, store, and process information. Modern applications centered around the Internet of Everything (IoE) and real-time data analytics are driving circuit and system designers toward new ways of leveraging the immense device density and processing power of modern technology. The ISSCC 2017 is seeking innovations that will fuel further progress in this development toward a truly smart and interconnected world.

Innovative and original papers are solicited in subject areas including (but not limited to) Analog, Data Converters, Digital Circuits, Digital Architectures & Systems, Imagers, MEMS, Medical & Display, Memory, RF, Technology Directions, Wireless and Wireline.

The Submission Deadline is Monday, September 12, 2016 at 3:00PM Eastern Daylight Time (19:00 GMT).

ISSCC regularly features more than 200 technical presentations representing benchmark results, designs in state-of-the-art processes, and circuits in emerging device technologies. It also features a variety of educational events, and evening sessions. It highlights systems aspects of regular-paper presentations with Demonstration Sessions.

Graduate students are invited to participate in opportunities to showcase ongoing work and exchange experiences with other students and researchers from academia and industry. These include the Student Research Preview and the Silkroad Award (to a first-time student presenting author of a regular paper from an emerging region in the Far East).

New for ISSCC 2017: Double-Blind Paper Review

 

The paper selection for ISSCC 2017 will follow a double-blind review process, meaning that both the authors and reviewers will remain anonymous during the paper selection process. All authors must adhere to the following guidelines to conceal their identity: (1) Eliminate names, contact information, and affiliations from the entire manuscript (including PDF metadata, logos on die photos, logos on printed circuit board photos, etc.). (2) Cite all relevant prior work (including your own) in the third person (for example, "It has been shown that… [1]"; do not use the words "my" or "our"). Submitted (unpublished) work that is substantially related to the submission must also be cited, but in an anonymized format. Do not cite patents. (3) Eliminate acknowledgments and references to funding sources. (4) Do not contact the program committee members to solicit input on your manuscript. The identity of authors is known to the program chair/vice-chair and the subcommittee chairs; you may contact them for questions. Manuscripts that are not properly anonymized cannot be considered for review. The review process will include a software-based plagiarism check. After paper selection, a final pre-publication check using the authors’ names is applied (see ISSCC Website for full details). The ISSCC may withdraw any selected paper that violates the pre-publication guidelines. For further details, see the ISSCC Website (sample manuscript, detailed instructions and FAQ on double-blind review).
