Through the Looking Glass: Trend Tracking for ISSCC 2012

摘要

At the IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC), there is a long tradition of working to maintain the conferences role as the foremost global forum for the presentation of advances in solid-state circuits and systems on a chip (SOCs). But this implies a great deal of effort on the part of many people. One of the most important elements of this effort is the structuring and organization of the Program Committee, including its subdivision into ten subcommittees focusing on diverse technical areas and its dynamic growth and adaptation through the selection of world-renowned specialists. One of the many techniques used by the subcommittees to remain at the forefront of evolving technology is the identification and maintenance of trend information, on the basis of which new developments become startlingly clear.
