Avoid first week
of October (costs)
Donatella will (a)
communicate possible dates to Salvador and (b) communicate tentative VLSI-SoC
dates to ESWeek steering committee.
- Theme suggestion
for conference "SOC
design for ubiquitous sensing and computing". To be discussed taking into account TC10
priorities (green electronics).

A. Coskun (thermal modelling and thermal management)
- Next meeting:
- DAC meeting to be organized by Michel Robert
or Ricardo Reis
- Madrid during VLSI SOC 2010
