36th Birthday Party for SPICE

SPICE (“Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis”) was announced to the world on April 12, 1973. So, in honor of SPICE’s thirty-sixth “birthday”, here is a link to the first of several interactive posts about how SPICE works:

ESSDERC/ESSCIRC FRINGE POSTER SESSION

Athens Fringe Poster Session

Following a successful 'fringe' event during last Conference in Edinburgh, ESSCIRC and ESSDERC will be holding also a "fringe" event in addition to the main conference in Athens. The Fringe forum is ideally suited for the submissions of recent progress which may, in some cases, not be ready for a full paper submission. The emphasis of fringe submissions should be on the presentation of the latest data (both measurement and/or simulation) and new ideas. This forum provides the opportunity to network with the ESSDERC/CIRC community to discuss these ideas and latest results. Reviewing will be undertaken by a sub-committee under the main Technical Programme committee, and a separate proceedings will be published on CD for this event. To attract the latest results, submissions close at the later date of 12 June 2009. Submissions will be in the form of abstracts of one page of text and two pages of figures. Submission will be via the website fridge section, where further details can be found.
