Preface
Welcome to the proceedings of PATMOS 2004, the fourteenth in a series of international
workshops. PATMOS 2004 was organized by the University of Patras
with technical co-sponsorship from the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society.
Over the years, the PATMOS meeting has evolved into an important European
event, where industry and academia meet to discuss power and timing
aspects in modern integrated circuit and system design. PATMOS provides a
forum for researchers to discuss and investigate the emerging challenges in design
methodologies and tools required to develop the upcoming generations of
integrated circuits and systems. We realized this vision this year by providing
a technical program that contained state-of-the-art technical contributions, a
keynote speech, three invited talks and two embedded tutorials. The technical
program focused on timing, performance and power consumption, as well as
architectural aspects, with particular emphasis on modelling, design, characterization,
analysis and optimization in the nanometer era.
This year a record 152 contributions were received to be considered for possible
presentation at PATMOS. Despite the choice for an intense three-day meeting,
only 51 lecture papers and 34 poster papers could be accommodated in the
single-track technical program. The Technical Program Committee, with the assistance
of additional expert reviewers, selected the 85 papers to be presented at
PATMOS and organized them into 13 technical sessions. As was the case with
the PATMOS workshops, the review process was anonymous, full papers were
required, and several reviews were received per manuscript.
Beyond the presentations of the papers, the PATMOS technical program
was enriched by a series of speeches offered by world-class experts, on important
emerging research issues of industrial relevance. This year’s keynote speech was
offered by Prof. Hugo De Man, IEEE Fellow, IMEC and KUL, Belgium. The
title of the keynote speech was “Connecting E-Dreams to Deep-Submicron Realities.”
Furthermore, the technical program was augmented with three invited
talks, given by leading industry experts, namely Dr. Nick Kanopoulos, Director
of Multimedia Communications, ATMEL, USA, Prof. Kiyo Itoh, Hitachi Fellow,
Hitachi, Japan and Dr. Carlo Dallavalle, Telecom Group Process Technology
Director, STMicroelectronics, Agrate Brianza, Italy. Finally, two tutorials were
embedded within the technical program on two very hot emerging design issues.
In particular, Prof. W. Nebel, OFFIS, Germany, gave a tutorial on the
“Importance and Sources of Leakage Power in DSM-CMOS Circuits,” while Sachin
S. Sapatnekar, University of Minnesota, USA, presented “The Certainty of
Uncertainty: Randomness in Nanometer Design.”
Last, but not least, the rich social program coupled with the unique Santorini
settings provided the additional opportunities for establishing new relationships
among the workshop participants. We sincerely hope that the attendees found
PATMOS 2004 at Santorini a stimulating and fruitful experience and that they
enjoyed their stay on Santorini throughout the duration of the event. We would
like to thank the several people who voluntarily worked to make this edition of
PATMOS possible, the expert reviewers, the members of the technical program
and steering committees, and the invited speakers who offered their skill, time,
and deep knowledge to make PATMOS 2004 a memorable event.
