The 1999 Symposium on VLSI Circuits takes place in the historic city of Kyoto, the birthplace of Japanese culture
The 1999 Symposium on VLSI Circuits meets in Kyoto Japan in June this year to hear presentations of 60 papers during the three-day Symposium. By the time readers receive this issue of the Newsletter, the program committee will have selected the top 40% of the almost 150 papers submitted for the 1999 Symposium. Check out the Symposium's WEB page for a listing of the topics and authors and their scheduled sessions. http://www.bcasj.or.jp/vlsi_sym
The scope of Circuits Symposium covers all aspects of VLSI circuits, such as:
The emphasis is on circuit design: papers are chosen on the basis of originality and quality. Though the circuits need not necessarily be implemented in a semiconductor chip, measured results, particularly for analog submissions, are key selection criteria. There will be several invited papers on emerging VLSI circuit technologies.
The format of the meeting includes:
June 12 Fourth International Workshop on Statistical Metrology
June 12-13 1999 IEEE Silicon Nanoelectronics Workshop
Papers in the Symposium Digest will be 2 or 4 pages, at the Authors' option to allow for more complete description of the work presented.
Since 1987, the two Symposia on VLSI Technology and Circuits have provided opportunities for technology people and circuit and system designers to interact with each other. From the beginning it has provided an intense but limited size meeting place for international researchers and engineers to more openly discuss and exchange new ideas and directions. The meeting locations alternate each year between sites in the US and in Japan. The VLSI Circuits Symposium sponsors continue to be the Solid-State Circuits Society and the Japan Society of Applied Physics in cooperation with the Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers. Partial travel expense support for students who are presenting papers is available upon request.

Kyoto has nearly 2,000 shrines and temples, six historical preservation districts and an abundance of beautiful natural scenery. The City of Kyoto was founded as "Heiankyo" in 794 A.D. It flourished as the capital of Japan for approximately 1,000 years and was the birth site of the quintessential Japanese culture and traditions one finds throughout the country today. It is home to various national treasures worthy of global pride as well as many historical buildings and traditional arts and crafts. The kimono (traditional Japanese dress) industry of Kyoto is world re-known. The Rihga Royal Hotel is located in the heart of Kyoto within walking distance of the Kyoto Station.
