IEEE Solid-State Circuits Magazine - Winter 2016 - 15

Selected papers from the technical
sessions will be further expanded
during the demonstration sessions
in the early evenings of 2-3 February,
which will showcase academic- and
industry-led submissions.
A continuing initiative for students is the Student Research Preview on the evening of Sunday, 31
January, consisting of short presentations introducing an all-evening

poster session. The same evening
will also include a special-topic
event, "Computing Architectures
Paving the Path to Power Efficiency,"
in which experts in the field will
present their opinions and insights
into new computer architectures
beyond Von Neumann, which will
emerge to support future computing
performance improvements beyond
Moore's law and Dennard scaling.
ISSCC will also continue the
popular tradition of evening panels, where experts, often of opposing views, discuss topics that can
range from lighthearted to controversial (but always informative and
entertaining). This year's panels are
"Class of 2025-Where Will Be the
Best Jobs?," "Do We Need to Downscale Our Radios Below 20 nm?,"
"Survey Says!," an interactive panel
modeled after the U.S. game show
Family Feud, and "Eureka! The Best
Moments of Solid-State Circuit Design in the 2000s."
The conference will provide a variety of opportunities for attendees
to interact one on one with authors
during the author interviews at the
end of the day of their presentation,
as well as during breakout sessions
and evening social hours. During the

evening social hours, ISSCC features
an alumni gathering of particular universities as well as book displays by
various publishers highlighting the
latest and classical technical books.
Correspondingly, ISSCC continues to be the premier conference of
the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society
(SSCS). IEEE Members who are also
SSCS members will receive a US$40
credit toward the conference fees
applied at the time of registration.

We look forward to seeing you at
ISSCC 2016! For more information
