ABSTRACT
This award is to assist US-based graduate students to attend the 2019 IEEE Computer Society International Symposium on Very Large Scale Integration (IEEE ISVLSI) in Miami, Florida. Participation in IEEE ISVLSI and similar conferences are valuable and important activities of the graduate school experience. It provides students with the opportunity to interact with more senior researchers, and exposes students to leading work and practical industry practices in this important area of research. The long-term merits of this program's impact on very large scale integration within computing research are well established.
The conference will be held in Miami, Florida, July 15-17, 2019, will span three days and will consist of technical paper presentations, panels, posters, and a student research forum. It will also feature keynote speeches from leading researchers and practitioners in the field.
Student travel to conferences is an important activity. Funds will be dispersed with preference given to students who would not otherwise be able to attend the conference and students who are not already scheduled to present a paper, paying particular attention to diversity and relevance of the student's research interest.
This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
PROJECT OUTCOMES REPORT
Disclaimer
This Project Outcomes Report for the General Public is displayed verbatim as submitted by the Principal Investigator (PI) for this award. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this Report are those of the PI and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation; NSF has not approved or endorsed its content.
The project provides awards for both graduate and undergraduate students from the USA University for travel to IEEE Computer Society International Symposium on VLSI (IEEE-ISVLSI or ISVLSI) 2019 to be held at Miami, Florida. The remaining fund were extended to be spent for ISVLSI 2020 and ISVLSI 2021.
The students get exposure to cutting-edge technology including low-power hardware, emerging technology-based hardware, neuromorphic computing, hardware for artificial intelligence, and hardware security. The project provided opportunities to learn new research under the following tracks: (1) Circuits, Reliability, and Fault-Tolerance (CRT), (2) Computer-Aided Design and Verification (CAD), (3) Digital Circuits and FPGA based Designs (DCF), (4) Emerging and Post-CMOS Technologies (EPT), (5) System Design and Security (SDS), and (6) VLSI for Applied and Future Computing (AFC). In the 3 meetings spanning from 2019-2021, an estimated total 120 contributing papers were presented in 24 regular sessions. In addition, an estimated total of 60 contributing papers were presented in 15 special sessions. Students learnt from 14 Keynote addresses and 4 expert panels which consisted of globally renowned researchers. A student research forum (SRF) consisting of selected posters in which students are primary authors was used for networking of the students. ISVLSI continued the Research Demo Session (RDS) which was started in 2019 to show hands on demo of research undertaken by worldwide researchers.
Students from USA universities presented their research finding at ISVLSI and interacted with worldwide audience. An estimated total of 40 students from USA universities received support to attend ISVLSI during 2019-2021. The student supported included Ph.D., masters and bachelors degree levels. The students selected included 10 female students were supported by this project. Major success in terms of Broadening Participation in Computing (BPC) and Broadening Participation in Engineering (BPE) as many students are first time attendees including from underrepresented groups and women. The students had the opportunity to meet several keynote speakers and panelist who are leaders in their discipline. The Student Research Forum (SRF) as well as Research Demo Sessions (RDS) which are integral part of ISVLSI provided the opportunity to present their research as posters and one-to-one interactions to discuss their research with other researchers.
The overal outcomes also include successfully organization of IEEE-CS Symposium on VLSI (ISVLSI) for last 3 years during 2019-2021 and activities dessiminated at www-isvlsi.org. ISVLSI conference proceedings was published by IEEE-CS Conference Publishing Services (CPS) and made available in IEEE Xplore for worldwide access. A large number of STEM students got exposure and were trained in the cutting-edge areas. The STEM students interacted with their peers as well as networked with academic and industry leaders.
