Proceedings of the 2010 Asia and South Pacific Design Automation Conference

On behalf of the Technical Program Committee of the Asia and South Pacific Design Automation Conference (ASPDAC) 2010, we would like to welcome all of you to the conference held from January 18 through 21, 2010 at Taipei International Convention Center in Taipei, Taiwan. This year, ASPDAC received 340 paper submissions, the number of which is a little bit small but almost the same as the number of submissions of the last year. The submissions span 29 countries/regions in Asia, North America, South America, Europe, Oceania, Australia and Africa. The Technical Program Committee was composed of 94 professionals who are experts on EDA, IC design, and system design areas, and was organized into 13 subcommittees. All committee members contributed to in-depth, rigorous and thorough reviews and most of them attended the paper selection meeting held in Tokyo. Through a full day face-to-face discussion, 119 quality papers have been selected and compiled into 30 technical sessions in a three-day, three parallel tracks program. The program is further enriched by three keynote addresses, which are selected under the leadership of our General Chair, Professor Youn-Long Lin, an additional track of special sessions, designers' forum and university LSI design contest presentations including excellent tutorials and panel discussions. We sincerely hope you will enjoy and benefit from the program. This year, all keynotes are put in the morning of the first day, and then we have technical sessions with 4 tracks. Tracks A -- C are technical sessions with accepted papers and Track D is dedicated to special sessions (1D, 2D, 3D, 7D, 8D), designers' forum (5D, 6D, 9D, 10D), and University LSI Design Contest presentation (4D). On Tuesday, we have two special sessions on embedded system and network on chip issues. On Wednesday, we have a special session on post-silicon validation, university LSI design contest presentation and two designers' forum on state-of-art SoCs and 3D integration. On Thursday, we have two special sessions on dependable design and multi-core systems and two designers' forum on ESL and embedded software for multi-core SoCs. These sessions on Track D cover novel and exciting topics and we hope that you can find some hint to the further research and development on LSI.
