Submission of Papers
Paper submission must be done on-line via the conference web site at
www.isqed.org. Authors should submit FULL-LENGTH, original, unpublished
papers (Minimum 4, maximum 6 pages) along with an abstract of about 200
words. Please check the as-printed appearance of your paper before
uploading. To permit a blind review, do not include name(s) or
affiliation(s) of the author(s) on the manuscript and abstract. The
complete contact author information needs to be entered separately. The
guidelines for the final paper format are provided in the conference web
site at www.isqed.org in the author resources section. Authors of the
submitted papers must register and attend the conference for their paper to
be published.

About ISQED
The International Symposium on Quality Electronic Design (ISQED), is a
premier Design & Design Automation conference, aimed at bridging the gap
between and integration of, electronic design tools and processes,
integrated circuit technologies, processes & manufacturing, to achieve
design quality. ISQED is the pioneer and leading conference dealing with
design for manufacturability and quality issues front-to-back. The
conference provides a forum to present and exchange ideas and to promote the
research, development, and application of design techniques & methods,
design processes, and EDA design methodologies and tools that address issues
which impact the quality of the realization of designs into physical
integrated circuits. The conference attendees are primarily designers of the
VLSI circuits & systems (IP & SoC), those involved in the research,
development, and application of EDA/CAD Tools & design flows, process/device
technologists, and semiconductor manufacturing specialists including
equipment vendors. ISQED emphasizes a holistic approach toward design
quality and intends to highlight and accelerate cooperation among the IC
Design, EDA, Semiconductor Process Technology and Manufacturing communities.
