SMACD 2023: 3 to 5 July, Funchal - Madeira Island, Portugal
The 2023 edition of the International Conference on Synthesis, Modeling, Analysis and Simulation Methods, and Applications to Circuit Design (SMACD) will be held from 3 to 5 July. It will take place at VidaMar Resort Hotel, a stunning location on Madeira island in Portugal.
SMACD is 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, as well as, emerging technologies and applications. Open-source tools and methods for IC design and experiences with modeling, simulation, and synthesis techniques in diverse application areas are also welcomed. Objective technologies include CMOS, beyond CMOS, and More-than-Moore such as MEMs, power devices, sensors, passives, etc.
SMACD is technically co-sponsored by IEEE, IEEE CEDA and IEEE CASS. The conference proceedings will be published in IEEExplore.
