Michel Maharbiz. Gruesome photos
and inspiring videos demonstrated the
capability to trigger and control the
movement of different species of beetles via implantable radio-equipped
miniature neural stimulating systems.
From ethical dilemmas to lessons in
insect physiology, this research offers
a glimpse of future animal-machine
hybrids. No, they cannot reproduce to
take over the world, and, yes, that is a
stupid question.
To continue the exchanges and networking, conference participants and
others interested in VLSI technology
and circuit design are encouraged to
join the LinkedIn group, Symposia on
VLSI Circuits and Technology, to participate in discussions about the conference topics: http://www.linkedin.

VLSI Symposia Past and Future
The annual Symposia on VLSI Technology and Circuits are regarded as
the premier mid-year gatherings for
the advancement of microelectronics
technology and circuits-with approximately 1,000 experts in both fields attending and around 200 papers being
presented each year. The VLSI Technology Symposium began in 1981,
while the VLSI Circuits Symposium
was added in 1987. The two meetings
have been held together ever since, ro-

tating annually between Japan and Hawaii. In 2016, the Symposium on VLSI
Circuits was organized by Jeff Gealow
(symposium chair), Gunther Lehmann
(program chair), Masato Motomura
(symposium cochair), and Makoto Ikeda (program cochair). Next year, it will
be held at the newly renovated Rihga
Royal Hotel Kyoto in Kyoto, Japan, 5-9
June 2017. For further Information,
please visit www.vlsisymposium.org.
The Symposium on VLSI Circuits
is sponsored by the SSCS and the

Japan Society of Applied Physics, in
cooperation with the Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers, and the IEEE Electron
Devices Society. The Symposium on
VLSI Technology is sponsored by the
IEEE Electron Devices Society and the
