Presentation
| The 16th edition of the Conference
on Design of Circuits and Integrated Systems (DCIS 2001) will be held in
Porto, Portugal, November 20-23, 2001. It is organized by the Department
of Electrical and Computer Engineering of FEUP
(Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto) and by INESC
Porto (Instituto de Engenharia de Sistemas e Computadores do Porto).
The purpose of the Conference is to provide a forum to exchange ideas and
to show industrial and research results in microelectronics and related areas. |
Welcome
|
It is my great pleasure to welcome the 16th edition of DCIS
and all its participants to Porto.
Porto is an old and active city that is undertaking a considerable
effort of renovation during its tenure as European Capital of Culture
in the year 2001. It is
located in the north of Portugal, where the Douro River meets the
Atlantic Ocean and their inhabitants are known for their rugged and
hard-working nature, well tempered by their love for eating out,
drinking, and enjoying the life of their city.
This combination of serious work and a relaxed atitude seems
quite fitting as a stage for DCIS.
Authors and reviewers, the panel organizers and the session chairs
gave their best effort for the success of the Conference.
A word of gratitude is due to the sponsors for their valuable
support. Special thanks
to the members of the Local Organizing Committee and of the Programme
Committee, who worked hard to ensure a smooth operation and a well
balanced, high quality Technical Programme.
At the end of the day the quality of a Conference is judged by the
quality of the work that is submitted and presented.
A word of praise goes to the authors who worked hard in order
to show the results of their research in the best, most effective way.
I sincerely hope that this effort is fully rewarded with
feedback and useful comments from other participants.
I
hope this year's Conference will constitute an excellent opportunity
for exchanging views, sharing experiences and enlarging our knowledge
on current and future issues for the design of circuits and integrated
systems. To all of the
participants I wish an enjoyable Conference and a pleasant stay in
Porto.
