Low Power Electronics and Design Symposium Preview

This year, the International Symposium on Low Power Electronics and Design is scheduled for 6–7 August 2001 at the Hilton Waterfront Beach Resort in Huntington Beach, CA, with 12 presentation sessions and four poster sessions on the agenda. The Symposium will open with the keynote speech: "Wireless beyond the third generation: Facing the energy challenge," by Jan Rabaey of UC Berkeley.

Four papers will be presented in each of the 12 sessions:

1. Energy Reduction in Processor Pipelines
2. Voltage and Instruction Scheduling
3. Low Power RF Circuits and Systems
4. Modeling and Estimation Techniques
5. Low Power Digital Circuits
6. Bus Encoding
7. Technology for Low Power
8. Architectural Techniques
9. Low Power Analog Techniques
10. Algorithmic Transformations and Caching
11. Low Power Digital Building Blocks
12. Power Supply and Delivery

Poster sessions, after the last morning session and continuing through lunch, allow an opportunity to survey more late-breaking news on designing low-power electronic systems. Invited speakers are featured each day as the first session in the afternoon:

• "Cooling and power considerations for semiconductors into the next century," Christian Belady, Hewlett Packard
• "Wireless sensor networks: Application driver for low power distributed systems," Deborah Estrin, UCLA
