Microelectronic System Education Workshop:

A one-day co-located workshop will cover the following topics: pedagogical innovations using a wide range of technologies such as ASIC, FPGA, multicore, GPU, TPU, educational techniques including novel curricula and laboratories, assessment methods, distance learning, textbooks, and design projects, industry and academic collaborative programs and teaching.

Deadlines: 

Paper submission deadline:             February 21, 2025 (11:59pm EST)

Acceptance Notification:                   TBD

Camera-Ready:                                  TBD

Submission Guidlines: 

Paper Submission: Authors are invited to submit full-length 6-page, original, unpublished papers along with an abstract of at most 200 words. Submissions exceeding 6 pages are permitted but must not exceed 8 pages in total. Each additional page beyond 6 will incur an extra fee upon acceptance for publication. To enable blind review, the author list should be omitted from the main document. Previously published papers or papers currently under review for other conferences/journals should NOT be submitted and will not be considered. Electronic submission in PDF format to the https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=glsvlsi25 website is required. Author and contact information (name, affiliation, mailing address, telephone, fax, e-mail) must be entered during the submission process.

Paper Format: Submissions should be in camera-ready two-column format, following the ACM proceedings specifications located at: ACM Template and the classification system detailed at: ACM 2012 Class. For Overleaf users, please find the following template: ACM Proceedings Template - Overleaf. For LaTeX users, please find the following ZIP file: acmart-primary.zip. For Word users, please find the following template: interim-layout.docx.

Paper Publication and Presenter Registration: Papers will be accepted for regular or poster presentation at the symposium. Every accepted paper MUST have at least one author registered to the symposium by the time the camera-ready paper is submitted; at least one of the authors is also expected to attend the symposium and present the paper.

By submitting your article to an ACM Publication, you are hereby acknowledging that you and your co-authors are subject to all ACM Publications Policies,   including ACM's new Publications Policy on Research Involving Human Participants and Subjects. Alleged violations of this policy or any ACM Publications Policy will be investigated by ACM and may result in a full retraction of your paper, in addition to other potential penalties, as per ACM Publications Policy.

Please ensure that you and your co-authors obtain an ORCID ID, so you can complete the publishing process for your accepted paper.  ACM has been involved in ORCID from the start and we have recently made a commitment to collect ORCID IDs from all of our published authors. We are committed to improve author discoverability, ensure proper attribution and contribute to ongoing community efforts around name normalization; your ORCID ID will help in these efforts.
