6th IEEE International Smart Cities
Conference-IEEE ISC2 2020
The 6th IEEE International Smart
Cities Conference (ISC2 2020) will
be held as a virtual conference,
28 September-1 October 2020. The
worldwide governmental restrictions
on travel, gatherings, and meetings,
imposed to limit and slow the spread
of the novel coronavirus, make it impossible to organize the conference
in the traditional format. However,
we are confident that the changes
induced by the virus to our everyday lives and the responses given to
these new challenges by smart city
researchers and practitioners, city
policymakers and administrators,
critical infrastructure operators and
industry representatives, and economists and sociologists will generate
exciting and edifying presentations
and discussions, as part of our keynote addresses, panel debates, workshops, or research talks. After all,
one of the main reasons for cities
becoming smart should be to safely

and efficiently support us, citizens,
in such difficult times. The theme of
the conference this year is Smart Cities Solutions for New Challenges, Including a Pandemic.
Besides contributions addressing the conference theme, authors
are welcome to submit their original
research results in traditional topics
across broad application and functional domains, within the context
of smart urban infrastructure systems. The technical areas include,
but are not limited to
■■ community and governance
■■ infrastructure and technology
■■ data privacy and security.

Call for Papers ASP-DAC 2021
ASP-DAC 2021 is the 26th Annual
International Conference on VLSI
Design Automation in Asia and South
Pacific Regions, one of the most active
regions of design and fabrication of
silicon chips in the world. This edition
of ASP-DAC will take place 18-21 January 2021 at Miraikan, Tokyo, Japan.
The conference aims at providing
the Asian and South Pacific CAD/
EDA and design community with
opportunities for presenting recent
advances and with forums for future
directions in technologies related to
electronic design automation (EDA).
The format of the meeting intends
to cultivate and promote an instructive and productive interchange of
ideas among EDA researchers/developers and system/circuit/device
designers. All scientists, engineers,
and students who are interested in
theoretical and practical aspects of
VLSI design and design automation
are welcomed to ASP-DAC.
In light of the continued COVID-19
pandemic situation, the format of the
conference is subject to future change.
The options include a fully in-person
conference, a hybrid conference (in

Design Automation WebiNars
(DAWN)
The first DAWN on the topic of Machine
Learning for EDA took place on 7 May
2020. It was composed of five excellent talks followed by Q&A with the
panelists. The event was successfully
organized by Professors Yiran Chen,
Duke University, and Tsung-Yi Ho,
National Tsing Hua University. The
video recording of this webinar can
be found on CEDA's website.
