- **SIS'93**
-
- 1993 University of Washington
- Symposium on Integrated Systems
-
- March 15-16, 1993
-
- University of Washington
- Seattle, Washington
-
-
- SYMPOSIUM ON INTEGRATED SYSTEMS
-
- The Symposium on Integrated Systems is a descendent of the Conferences
- on Advanced Research in VLSI initiated by Caltech and MIT. It is the
- 15th in a series that has been held at Caltech, MIT, UNC Chapel Hill,
- Stanford, UC Santa Cruz, and Brown. Like those conferences, it will
- continue the tradition of providing a forum for the highest quality
- papers on topics relating to VLSI systems. Unlike those conferences,
- it has a new title and a new emphasis, namely systems integration
- issues in microelectronic systems "from the chips up." Recent
- advances in microelectronic technologies have enabled new
- architectures and applications requiring highly integrated or
- large-scale systems. Given this goal, the conference will include a
- wide range of interrelated disciplines, including: basic technology,
- circuits and devices, VLSI architectures, design automation, and
- applications.
