IEEE CAS Singapore Chapter

IEEE International Workshop for Future Intelligent Circuits and Systems (IW-FICAS) 2022

Date: 3-5 August 2022

Venue: Singapore Polytechnic Graduates' Guild (SPGG), 1010 Dover Rd, Singapore 139658

Organized by IEEE CAS Singapore Chapter, Nanyang Technological University and National University of Singapore

Singapore accounts for 11% of today’s global semiconductor market, and 20% of the global semiconductor equipment is manufactured in Singapore. There are more than 30 international MNCs having operations in Singapore, including top semiconductor foundries, IC design houses and OEMs, which have significant contributions to the electronics industry and economy of Singapore.

This year, IEEE Circuits and Systems Society (CASS) Singapore Chapter, together with NTU, NUS, A*STAR IME, and sponsored by domain industry players, will be organizing the inaugural International Workshop on Future Intelligent Circuits and Systems (IW-FICAS) in Singapore to gather domain stakeholders, including technology researchers, academia, and industry, to present and discuss the state-of-art domain research and development activities. We will conduct the workshop adopting a hybrid of virtual and physical participation over 3 days with about 27 renowned speakers worldwide, and consisting in 3 technical tracks (Future Circuits and Systems for Edge AI, Wireless/Wireline connectivity and IoT healthcare metaverse). IW-FICAS is to be held on Aug. 3 – 5, 2022 providing with tea breaks and lunch, and student poster competitions and HR career talks.

Please reserve your spot (physical participation) at https://forms.gle/9zeJ6C4fdGDqSVhe6 Register early because spots are limited and registration is on a first-come-first-served basis.
