Nov. 8, 2014;   8:15am – 2:30pm   5050MC, Carleton university, Ottawa, Canada

HPCPS is focused on the emerging high-performance electronic chip, packages and systems. Major theme of the workshop is focused on the co-design, modeling and analysis of the mixed-domain issues arising due to the high-speed, high-density and low-power requirements that are demanded from today’s chip, interconnect, package and systems. Particular emphasis is also placed on signal and power integrity and electromagnetic compatibility in modern designs. Emerging techniques and methodologies for mixed-domain integration of diverse modules such as novel interconnects, optical components, RF devices and MEMS with electronic chips and packages are also considered.

This year’s program features 5 eminent researchers and leaders in the area, including, Keynote Speeches, Invited Talks and Distinguished Lectures from:

Prof. Jan M. Rabaey,  Fellow IEEE, Dept. of EECS, UC Berkeley, Berkeley, USA

Prof. Ullrich Pfeiffer,  Faculty of Electrical, IM Engg.,  Uni. of Wuppertal, Germany
