EasyChair <http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ab2008comm>.

Los mismos serán sujetos a proceso de revisión y la versión final de los
trabajos aceptados será publicada en el CD de las Jornadas.

_Comunicaciones_: describen iniciativas, proyectos, ideas, aplicaciones,
investigaciones, etc. que por encontrarse en etapas de desarrollo y/o
evaluación no resultan suficientes para formalizarse en un "trabajo
regular" pero que su divulgación y discusión puede despertar el interés
de los asistentes.

Deberá presentarse un resumen de no más de 2 páginas en formato PDF. Los
mismos se enviarán directamente a la dirección de email de las JAR'08
(jar08@uns.edu.ar <mailto:jar08@uns.edu.ar>) para su consideración. Las
comunicaciones se expondrán en forma oral bajo las mismas condiciones

Exclusive Webcast from Ansoft and EDN

Please register today for this exclusive Webcast New Technology for Rapid and Accurate Simulation of Multi-Gigabit Serial Channels Thursday, March 20, 2008 11:00 am PT/2:00 pm ET Duration: 60 minutes (including Q&A) Sponsored by Ansoft Corp., hosted by EDN CLICK HERE TO REGISTER TODAY Modern electronic products use multi-Gigabit serial links to move large quantities of digital data across today’s telecommunication, high-definition video, gaming, and data storage systems. Engineers designing links such as 10-Gigabit Ethernet, 8.5 Gb/s Fibre Channel, InfiniBand, and PCI Express 3.0 demand accurate channel simulation and modeling to maintain stringent signal quality, jitter and bit error ratio (BER) performance. When verifying the low BER’s required by the multi-Gigabit protocols, traditional transient simulation techniques are at odds with the design cycle compression being driven by today’s tight time-to-market windows. There simply isn’t enough time to push the number of bits needed with robust sampling to derive meaningful BER results. Statistical methods are emerging that allow engineers to rapidly predict channel level performance with eye diagram plots and BER curves. This one-hour Web seminar introduces two new simulation technologies, a fast transient and a statistical tool, that are now included in Ansoft’s circuit simulation engine, Nexxim. The fast transient tool uses long, user defined bit patterns to produce an eye diagram. This analysis allows engineers to create controlled stress tests and to identify specific bit sequences that cause bit errors. The statistical tool produces both eye diagram plots and BER curves for complete high-speed channels in minutes. Because these technologies link to full-wave electromagnetic field solvers and a high capacity circuit simulation engine, accuracy is not sacrificed for the improved simulation speed. After a brief introduction to the tools and the presentation of comparative performance data, two channel examples will be demonstrated. The first channel will serve to highlight the general capabilities of the simulation technologies. The second will demonstrate the use of the tool in the pre-layout design of a serialized/de-serialized (SerDes) channel with equalization developed for IBM’s next generation BladeServer backplane.   Presenter Eldon Staggs, Senior Applications Engineer, Ansoft Corporation Eldon specializes in high-frequency and high-speed circuit and system design. He works with Ansoft’s top tier customers on their serial interconnect designs, RF microwave circuits, and wireless communication systems. He has over 15 years design experience and is an expert in system, RF, analog, and digital engineering for electronic warfare and electronic intelligence systems. He earned his BSEE from the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, NM, and his MSEE from the University of California at San Diego. CLICK HERE TO REGISTER TODAY

Last Call for Papers/Abstracts

Announcement
-------------------------------------------------------
Last Call for Papers/Abstracts and Invited Sessions Proposals for CITSA 2008, (Orlando, Florida, USA. June 29th- July 2nd, 2008) http://www.infocybereng.org/citsa2008

Deadlines:
Papers/Abstracts Submissions and Invited Sessions Proposal: April 2nd, 2008
Authors Notification: May 3rd, 2008
Camera-ready, full papers: May 22nd, 2008
-------------------------------------------------------

All Submitted papers will be reviewed by a double-blind (at least three reviewers), non-blind, and participative peer review. These three kinds of review will support the selection process of those that will be accepted for their presentation at the conference, as well as those to be selected for their publication in JSCI Journal.

Authors of accepted papers who registered in the conference can have access to the evaluations and possible feedback provided by the reviewers who recommended the acceptance of their papers/abstracts, so they can accordingly improve the final version of their papers. Non-registered authors may not have access to the reviews of their respective submissions.

The registration fee of effective invited session organizers will be waived and they will receive at the registration desk, for free, 1) a package of 4 DVDs and one CD containing the 6-hour tutorial "Fundamentals and History of Cybernetics: Development of the Theory of Complex Adaptive Systems" and 2) a second 4-DVDs/1-CD package 6-hours tutorial titled "Cybernetic Management". The market price of each of these packages is US $ 295. Twelve more benefits for invited session organizers are listed at CITSA 2008 web page.

For submissions or Invited Sessions Proposals, please go to the web site: http://www.infocybereng.org/citsa2008/organizer.asp

Authors of the best 10%-20% of the papers presented at the conference will be invited to adapt their papers for their publication in the Journal of Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics.

Each session to be included in the conference program will have corresponding electronic pre-conference and post-conference sessions for 15 days each. In the electronic pre-conference sessions authors will have access to the papers to be presented at their session and to an associated electronic forum, so they can be better prepared for their conference face-to-face session. Similarly, electronic post-conference sessions will complement and support a follow-up of the respective conference sessions, via an electronic forum and the possibility of evaluating papers presented at the associated session. These evaluations will also support the selection process for the papers to be published in JSCI journal.

Best regards,

CITSA 2008 Secretariat

This Symposium explores emerging trends, novel ideas and concepts in the area of VLSI. The Symposium covers a range of topics: from VLSI circuits, systems, and design methods to system level design and system-on-chip issues, to bringing VLSI experience to new areas and technologies.

Future design methodologies will also be one of the key topics at the workshop, as well as new CAD tools to support them. For almost two decades, the Symposium has been a unique forum promoting multidisciplinary research and new visionary approaches in the area of VLSI.

It brings together leading scientists and researchers from academia and industry, and has established a reputation in inviting well-known international scientists as invited speakers. The 2008 edition will continue to strive to achieve the high standards that participants have come to expect of this Symposium.
