Submission final deadline: June 6, 2021

The organizing committee of the XXXVI Conference on Design of Circuits and Integrated Systems (DCIS 2021) is inviting submissions of original, unpublished, high-quality research papers focused on (but not limited to) electronic systems for artificial intelligence, unconventional computing, future and new paradigm communications, reliability of circuits and devices, smart sensors and other relevant topics.

Accepted papers will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore subject to meeting IEEE Xplore’s scope and quality requirements. Extended versions of top-ranked papers will be considered for publication in a special issue of Elsevier’s “Integration, the VLSI Journal”.

Special sessions

  • Neuromorphic circuits and analogue computing
  • THz communications
  • Digital high-performance computing
  • Biomedical electronics
  • Remote teaching and learning

The scientific program will consist of regular and special track sessions, PhD poster competition, as well as, keynote talks and a panel discussion with leading experts in their fields.
