The symposia overview: including Demo session (June 13-15) video,
VLSI 2021 will be held in a fully virtual format due to COVID-19.
Kyoto, Japan
Sunday – Saturday, June 13-19, 2021 JST
(Workshops, Short Courses, Technical Sessions, Forum)
The deadline for online registration is June 30 (23:59 JST).
The symposium theme is “VLSI Systems for Lifestyle Transformation”. Even when Covid-19 becomes a distant memory, our society may face a drastic lifestyle transformation. People may come to work in more remote manner and are less likely to physically move for both personal and business issues. At the 2021 Symposium, considering these lifestyle transformations, we will discuss how state-of-the-art VLSI can contribute to such lifestyle and heath transformations. In this newsletter, the program for the first half of next week is introduced.
