Computing Systems



SMACD 2020 – International Conference on Synthesis, Modeling, Analysis and Simulation Methods and Applications to Circuit Design, 20-23 July 2020, Erfurt, Germany
SMACD 2020 will be held in Erfurt, Germany, as a forum devoted to modeling, simulation and synthesis for Analog, Mixed-signal, RF (AMS/RF) and multi-domain (nanoelectronics, biological, MEMS, optoelectronics, etc.) integrated circuits and systems. Experiences with modeling, simulation and synthesis techniques including machine-learning and artificial intelligence in diverse application areas are also welcome. Objective technologies include CMOS, beyond CMOS, and, More-than-Moore such as MEMS, power devices, sensors, passives, etc.
For those willing to submit a paper on any of the topics of the SMACD 2020, please note that
