Wednesday March 16th 2011
Co-chairs
Ahmed Jerraya, CEA LETI, Grenoble, F.
John Goodacre, ARM, UK

Future electronic systems will be dominated by the convergence between design (hardware and software) and fabrication to master next generation smart devices. The design of highly integrated and autonomous intelligent devices for healthcare, mobile and consumer applications require deep knowledge of technology characteristics to reach the required performance. Furthermore, hardware and software are being employed increasingly to overcome fabrication imperfection and to improve yield. This special day will focus on applications, key enabling technologies and future trends driving smart devices of the future.
