Resumo
The ongoing scaling and hybridization of manufacturing technologies enables us to attain unprecedented levels performance as well as to integrate electronic and fluidic circuits with sensors and actuators. Smart micro/nano systems will be the building blocks of wearable and ambient systems, that gather and integrate heterogeneous data in real time and operate and communicate in a wireless and ultra low power mode. These systems will foster a revolution in health and environmental management, with the final objective of improving security and quality of life. At the same time, they will create a large market of components and systems, and a renewed perspective for electronic design and manufacturing companies. To accomplish such an ambitious goal, new technologies and architectures must be matched and tailored to the operational environment by solving novel an challenging design and optimization problems, through the creation of novel design methodologies and tools.

Biografia Resumida
Giovanni De Micheli is a professor and director of the Integrated Systems Center at EPF Lausanne, Switzerland. Previously, he was a professor of electrical engineering at Stanford University. His research interests include several aspects of design technologies for integrated systems on silicon, such as synthesis, hw/sw codesign and low-power design, as well as systems on heterogeneous platforms including electrical, optical, micromechanical, and biological components. He is the author of Synthesis and Optimization of Digital Circuits (McGraw-Hill, 1994), coauthor and/or coeditor of five other books, and of more than 300 technical articles. He is, or has been, a member of the technical advisory board of several companies, including Magma Design Automation, Coware, Aplus Design Technologies, IROC, Ambit Design Systems, and STMicroelectronics. Dr. De Micheli is the recipient of the 2003 IEEE Emanuel Piore Award for contributions to computer-aided synthesis of digital systems. He is a fellow of the IEEE, the IEEE Computer Society, and the ACM. He received the Golden Jubilee Medal for outstanding contributions to the IEEE CAS Society in 2000. He received the 1987 D. Pederson Award for the best paper in the IEEE Transactions on CAD/ICAS, two Best Paper Awards at the Design Automation Conference, in 1983 and in 1993, and a best paper award at the DATE Conference in 2005. He was president of the IEEE CAS Society in 2003. He was editor-in-chief of the IEEE Transactions on CAD/ICAS from 1987-2001. Dr. De Micheli was the program chair and general chair of the Design Automation Conference (DAC) from 1996-1997 and 2000, respectively. He was the program and general chair of the International Conference on Computer Design (ICCD) in 1988 and 1989, respectively.
