The extensions of other conference papers and original works are welcome.
This special issue seeks recent advances and innovations for More Moore and More-than-Moore in a physical design context. In addition to submissions from academia, submissions from industry are also welcome. Research papers with an emphasis on the following topics are of particular interest: placement, routing, and ECO; advances towards analog design automation; physical design for heterogeneous integration; physical design for advanced lithography technology; hardware security-related physical design; physical design with multicore, GPU, FPGA, and AI hardware acceleration; and physical design for emerging technologies (autonomous systems, bio-chips, quantum circuits, superconducting circuits, etc.).
Submissions should be made through the ACM TODAES submission site and formatted according to TODAES author guidelines. Select the paper type "Special Issue on Advances in Physical Design Automation."
