Technologies for a Safe and Inclusive World

The 29th International Conference on VLSI Design and 15th International Conference on Embedded Systems will be held during January 4-8, 2016 at Kolkata, West Bengal, India. The theme for the conference this year is "Technologies for a Safe and Inclusive World". This 5 day conference comprises: first three days (January 4 to 6, 2016) of main conference followed by Tutorials during the last two days (January 7-8, 2016).

The convergence of technology with modern life has reached a state where dependence of human life on semiconductor technology is ubiquitous. Today semiconductor technology is poised to look beyond its traditional bastions of application with pervasive impact on healthcare, environment, energy, transportation, and disaster management. The 29th International Conference on VLSI Design and the 15th International Conference on Embedded Systems will bring together industry and academia to present front-end technology under the theme of Technologies for a Safe and Inclusive World.

The organizing committee of VLSI Design 2016 invites you all to Kolkata, the City of Joy.
