- Introduction of Srinivas Katkoori
Srinivas Katkoori was proposed for membership by Matthew Guthaus. Due to the late arrival and circulation of his resume, the WG members had not had a chance to send their support. Srinivas Katkoori introduced himself to the working group, and was invited to attend the meeting. He will be invited to introduce himself again at the next meeting (it is expected that the attendance will be larger) in Istanbul.
Note: Two days after the meeting, 21 supportive e-mails have been received.
- Status of preparation of VLSI-SoC 2013 by Luis Miguel Silveira
Information on slides is not repeated here.
Among the 229 paper submissions received, nearly 200 arrived on the day of the extended deadline. This is a large increase in submissions with respect to last year and in fact to all recent editions.
The geographical origin of the submission authors is shown on the slides.
The review process is on-going. The deadline for the reviews is passed, but some reviewers asked for an extension.
Depending on the
grades and the expected acceptance rate of up to 30%, there might be 3 sessions
in parallel during the first 2 days of the conference. Still
under discussion.
Ricardo Reis, now chair of TC10, has secured 4500 euros to support the participation of PhD students from developing countries to the VLSI-SoC PhD Forum and is working on securing additional funding. The Call for Papers for the PhD forum is distributed and on the web.
- Status of SBCCI 2013 by Ricardo Reis
A record number of papers have been received. The review process is on-going.
The location of SBCCI 2014 is already planned near the Atlantic Ocean.
Ricardo: please add details
- Status of FDL 2013 by Dominique Borrione (see attached .ppt document)
IFIP is in cooperation without financial implication.

- Status of the VLSI-SoC 2012 book by Matthew Guthaus
The editors of the 2012 book are: Ayse, Andreas, Matthew, Ricardo and Srinivas Katkoori. The book will have 13 chapters in total. All chapters have been received and revised. The authors are preparing the final version. All final chapters should be received and the book assembled before July 1st in order to have the book printed for VLSI-SoC 2013.
- Status of the preparation of VLSI-SoC 2014 (Playa del Carmen, Mexico)
Ricardo Reis had to leave the meeting, and no reporting was done.
It was requested that the Working Group should be given information on the Organizing Committee and the Program and track chairs ahead of the next meeting.
Also, the Conference General Chair should have been invited to present the project for VLSI-SoC 2014 at least one meeting before the preceding Conference.
Ricardo: please provide the information you have, and this information will be added to these minutes. Also provide the General Chair and PC Chair e-mails.
- Summary of Grenoble meeting
The following points have been reviewed (please see the details on the minutes posted on the WG web site):
- Composition and charter of the VLSI-SOC steering committee.
- Procedure and criteria for the selection of VLSI-SoC best paper award
- Creation of the European Forum for Information and Computation Science and Technology where Tiziana Margaria is a member of the board.
- VLSI-SoC 2015: we need applications. No news from Manfred Glesner who should have asked Prof. Tobias Noll if they would still be candidate for organizing VLSI-SoC in Aachen.
