7th International Conference on VLSI & Embedded Systems (VLSIE 2026)
August 15 ~ 16, 2026, Melbourne, Australia
Scope
7th International Conference on VLSI & Embedded Systems Technology (VLSIE 2026) serves as a premier international forum for researchers, industry practitioners, and academic experts to share cutting edge advances in VLSI design, semiconductor technologies, embedded architectures, and intelligent systems. As the semiconductor landscape rapidly evolves with breakthroughs in chiplet based integration, AI driven design automation, advanced packaging, and next generation embedded intelligence, VLSIE 2026 aims to bring together diverse perspectives that drive innovation across theory, methodologies, tools, and real world applications.
The conference invites original, unpublished research contributions that present significant advances in VLSI circuits, systems, CAD/EDA methodologies, embedded computing, hardware security, emerging nano devices, and domain specific architectures. Both theoretical developments and experimental results are welcome, along with survey papers, industrial case studies, and application driven research that highlight impactful progress in the field.
Authors are encouraged to submit high quality articles that illustrate novel research results, innovative system designs, practical implementations, and forward looking insights across the broad spectrum of VLSI and embedded systems. Submissions may address, but are not limited to, the topics listed below.
