SBCCI 2012

Symposium on Integrated Circuits and Systems Design
Brasília - Brazil
August 30th to September 2nd, 2012

Several members of the Rio Grande do Sul Chapter helped in the organization of SBCCI 2012 in Brasilia.

SBCCI is an international forum dedicated to integrated circuits and systems design, test and CAD, held annually in Brazil. The 25th SBCCI will take place at Brasília, Brazil. The goal of the symposium is to bring together researchers in the areas of computer-aided design, design and test of integrated circuits and systems. The scope of the symposium includes technical sessions, tutorials and panels, as well as exhibition and working group meetings. The best papers presented at the symposium will be invited to resubmit an extended version to be considered for publication at the IEEE Design & Test and at the JICS - Journal of Integrated Circuits and Systems.
