The 10th IEEE Dallas Circuits and Systems Conference will be held at the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science on The University of Texas at Dallas campus, on October 12-13, 2014. This conference of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society will feature a comprehensive program of technical papers, and an industrial forum program featuring prominent plenary speakers, panel sessions and vendor exhibits.

The theme of this year’s conference is  "Enabling an Internet of Things – From Sensors to Servers"  and shall encompass several research themes from circuits to signal processing to networking. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

Theme based: Sensors, wearable computing, medical and automotive electronics, ultra low power electronics and computing, electronics for infrastructure systems, ambient intelligence, emerging markets and applications.

VLSI Design and Methodologies: Analog and RF mixed signal design, synthesis, DFT and test, verification, design for manufacturability and yield, low-power design, temperature-aware design,  antenna-circuit co-design, physical design, packaging and board design, CAD technology, CMOS sensors and MEMS, nanoscale computing and nano-electronics, high performance computing, multi-core and parallel architectures, networks-on-chip.

Embedded Systems: Audio, image and video processing, communications, encryption, security, compression, reconfigurable systems, hardware software co-design and hybrid systems-on-chip.

Prospective authors are invited to submit a full paper (4-page) describing original work.  Papers should include title, abstract, and topic category from the list above in standard IEEE two-column format. All submissions should be made electronically through the conference web site. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings subject to advance registration of at least one of the authors.

A highlight of this year's symposium is a Student Paper Award. All papers with the primary author being a student are eligible for entry into this award. Award winners will be selected by a panel of judges who will base their decisions on both the written papers and the presentations. The presentations must be delivered by the student author for consideration into this competition.
