The IEEE SSCS Indonesia Chapter Coorganizes ISESD 2017 [Conference Reports]

our CICC Ph.D. student sponsorship initiative program to attract more student attendees and future student paper authors. The program is aimed at providing travel supports for all firstand second-year Ph.D. students worldwide who have not previously attended CICC. A total of ten Ph.D. students were selected for the 2018 program, an in crease of 43% over CICC 2017. The CICC Committee gratefully acknowledges our generous industry sponsors, including Silicon Labs (platinum level), Analog Devices (gold level), Cadence (gold level), and other general conference and proceedings sponsors, for their continuous support of the conference. The 40th annual edition of the conference (CICC 2019) is currently in the planning stages. It will be returning to Austin, Texas, the heart of Silicon Hills. The plan for future conferences is to expand to cities such as Boston, Massachusetts and Atlanta, Georgia.
