24th International Conference On Vlsi Design & 10th On Embedded Systems Inaugurated

Chennai, January 4, 2011: Delivering the keynote address

, Thomas H Lee, Professor, Stanford University,

said,VLSI Design and embedded systems are core technologies that are behind the electronic products that we use widely

today including cell phones, music players, and computers. There is a need to have discussions on the trend and future of

this segment as these are the backbone of all electronics used widely today in various domains such as Communications,

Consumer, Industrial, Automotive, Defense and Health Care. I strongly believe embedded to be the next big thing driven by the

increasing pervasiveness of microprocessors in all walks of life.

Speaking on VLSI Design from Indian academician perspective, Praveen Vishakantaiah, President, Intel India said, With

India projected to consume $50 billion worth of embedded electronics by 2020 it is emerging as a market of focus and the

future. The key challenge we face today is lack of research efforts and researches. This is critical as that is the pinnacle of the

embedded and VLSI arena and fuels innovation. An encouraging sign is the increasing number of partnerships companies in

this space are entering into with educational institutes for doing research programs and internships.

Kamakoti, General Co-Chair, VLSI and Professor at Department of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT-Madras

speaking on the general vision of VLSI Design Conference 2011 said, One area of focus for the conference is to make

students understand the phenomenal opportunity in the embedded and VLSI arena. And by listening to and seeing the

innovations happening be inspired to take it to greater heights through their intelligence and effort. Realizing this importance,

we have designed the conference with several complementary parts full-day tutorials, research paper presentations, special

sessions with invited embedded tutorials, hot topic presentations, keynote and banquet talks, and the industry and education

forums.

In his comments, Prof. Vishwani Agrawal of Auburn University, US and Member of VLSI committee, added, VLSI Design

2011 will definitely add value to the industry by providing a platform for the experts to discuss the issues of this industry. After

13 years, we have organized the annual premier joint conference of India at Chennai as we foresee the city emerging as a

potential hub for the industry.

VLSI Design 2011 focuses on Embedded products for emerging markets- Infrastructure, Energy & Automotive as the

key conference theme and will see more than 100 eminent global and Indian industry experts share trends, opportunities

and challenges of Indias growing VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) sector. Discussions and deliberations will focus on

Tilera and Professor, MIT): The Future of Multicore, Peter Kinget (Associate Professor, Columbia University): Designing

Analog and RF Circuits in Nanoscale CMOS Technologies: Scale the Supply, Reduce the Area and Use Digital Gates, Rajeev

Madhavan (CEO, Magma Design Automation): Real Men do Real Silicon, Leon Stok (VP, IBM): High-end Processor design

in Advanced CMOS Technologies. The Conference covers the entire gamut of activities under the two folds of Semiconductor

Industry - VLSI and Embedded systems

About VLSI Society of India/VLSI Conference: The mission of the society is to make India a significant force in VLSI field and

to promote applications and research related to all aspects of VLSI in India. VSI holds workshops and short-courses through

the year, in all parts of the country to bring together the industry, academia and mainly the students, on hot and emerging topics

of VLSI and the related. VSI welcomes volunteers to get involved in such activities. VSI publishes the half-yearly technical

journal VSI VISION. It also compiles softcopies of the proceedings of all workshops, short-courses and VDAT Symposium,

which has hardcopy publication additionally. International Conference on VLSI Design and International Conference on

Embedded Systems is the annual international event, that VSI is associated with and sponsors that attracts a wide spectrum of

VLSI related professionals and academia.
