The 2010 IEEE International Symposium of Circuits and Systems (ISCAS 2010) will be held in Paris (France), on May 30-June 3 2010. It will take place at the Convention Center at Disney’s Hotel New York, in Paris. It will be supported by the Institut Supérieur d’Electronique de Paris.
ISCAS is the largest conference in the area of Circuits and Systems. It is sponsored by the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society. Prestigeous speakers in this field are always invited. ISCAS 2010 will focus on on circuits and systems employing nanodevices (both extremely scaled CMOS and non-CMOS devices) and circuit fabrics (mixture of standard CMOS and evolving nano-structure elements) and their implementation cost, switching speed, energy efficiency, and reliability.
The scope of ISCAS 2010 includes all topics related to integrated circuits and systems. Papers on compact modeling for circuit design are considered to address some of the topic of the call. In fact, every year a number of interesting papers on compact modeling are presented at ISCAS.
The deadline for paper submission is October 9 2010.
It is important to mention that in ISCAS posters are very well considered, as important as oral presentations. Many authors choose poster as their presentation format. Besides, a student paper contest will be held at ISCAS 2010 and sponsored by the Circuits and Systems Society.
On the other hand, a "a very entertaining social program is planned. Special tours to tourist attractions will be available to the Symposium attendees and their guests." It Sounds promising, anyway.

ICMTS 2010
The IEEE 2010 ICMTS (International Conference Microelectronic Test Structures) has launched the final call for papers (deadline: Sept. 18, 2009). Authors are asked to submit a two or three page extended abstract in PDF file format (font-embedded) including a 500- to 1500-word summary, major figures, and data for review. ICMTS'10 will be held between March 22 – 25, 2010, in Hiroshima (Japan), and there is a suggested topic including "Device and Circuit Modeling, Parameter Extraction RF device modeling".
I imagine that the developers of the well known HiSIM models, who work in the Hiroshima University, will be around, so this conference can be a bussiness oportunity for compact model developers and users, including circuit designers.
The conference will be preceded by a one-day Tutorial Short Course on Microelectronic Test Structures on March 22, 2010. There will be an equipment exhibition relating to test structure measurements. A Best Paper award will be presented by the Technical Program Committee.
ICMTS has always an excellent social programme. There is always a very interesting excursion tour, and a wonderful gala dinner. And the Hiroshima cuisine is delicious...

Second International Workshop on Compact Thin-Film Transistor (TFT) Modeling for Circuit Simulation: Deadline extended
The Second International Workshop on Compact Thin-Film Transistor (TFT) Modeling for Circuit Simulation will be held at the University College London (UCL) in London (UK) on September 25 2009.
This workshop is intended to provide a forum for discussions and current practices on compact TFT modeling. The workshop is sponsored by IEEE EDS Compact Modeling Technical Committee in collaboration with IEEE UCL-Cambridge University EDS/LEOS Chapter joint chapter that is in the process of formation. Topics include include:
• Physics of TFTs and operating principles
• Compact TFT device models for circuit simulation
• Model implementation and circuit analysis techniques
• Model parameter extraction techniques
• Applications of compact TFT models in emerging products
• Compact models for interconnects in active matrix flat panels
Prospective authors should submit a 500-word abstract to: m.bauza@ucl.ac.uk
THE ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DEADLINE IS AUGUST 18 2009.
HOWEVER, ABSTRACTS WILL BE CONSIDER EVEN AFTER THE OFFICIAL SUBMISSION DEADLINE.
If their abstract is accepted, the authors will be invited to submit of a 4-page paper to be included in proceedings. The deadline is September 14, 2009.
This is the only workshop especifically devoted to the compact modeling of TFT!
