2017 VLSI for IoT

This workshop focuses on the intersection between IoT and the VLSI systems required to build IoT systems. Internet-of-Things technology is being applied to a huge range of application areas. IoT systems make use of wireless networking to build physically distributed soft real-time systems. To fully deliver on the promise of IoT, we need to develop a new generation of VLSI devices for IoT nodes and hubs. IoT pushes VLSI system design in an entirely new direction - rather than concentrate on building the biggest, most complex chips, we need to develop a new generation of small, extremely inexpensive chips. This new generation of IoT devices will require advances in packaging, circuit design, low-power design, security, and system architectures.
