ISICAS 2020 Welcome Message from the General Chair
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we are pleased to welcome you to the 3rd IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Circuits and Systems (ISICAS2020) to be held virtually between 27th and 28th August 2020! Without your participation, ISICAS2020 would not be a successful event.
ISICAS was established in 2018 as an IEEE Circuits and Systems Society’s new initiative to provide a platform for everyone to present high-quality original works with experimental results in the areas of circuits and systems. Topics vary from analog, digital, power, biomedical, sensor interfaces, communication systems, just to name a few. The past two conferences have been a great success for the community to exchange ideas and communicate with each other.
ISICAS2020 was originally planned in Shanghai, China. Due to the outbreak of COVID-19 epidemic, the conference has been moved to a virtual platform, instead of face-to-face meetings in 2018 and 2019. However, we are thrilled about the opportunity to create an engaging virtual conference that will be rewarding for both presenters and attendees. The authors will upload video presentations so that the audience can view them before the online author-audience meeting, and one month after. To facilitate interactions between conference attendees, we have assigned a firing line to each talk – the session chair will lead a 10-minute technical discussion for each presentation. We hope the conference attendees will find this approach to be useful. In addition to one additional month for accessing the conference materials, ISICAS2020 provides free registration for students and non-authors. We encourage anyone interested in the latest development of circuits and systems to register at conference website: http://www.isicas.org.
This year we received a total of 196 initial submissions, directly to the journals, which were handled by 33 Guest Editors and Associate Editors of corresponding journals. There are two keynote presentations and 80 full paper presentations, where the technical papers will be published in four Special Issues of the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems – I (TCAS-I), of the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems – II (TCAS-II), of the IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Circuits and Systems (TBioCAS), and the IEEE Open Journal of Circuits and Systems (OJCAS). The program is made up of three-track presentations.
Many individuals have contributed a great deal of time and energy to making the ISICAS conference and the special issues successful. The Technical Program Chair, Prof. Guoxing Wang, and Guest Editors/Technical Program Co-Chairs, Prof. Elena Blokhina for TCAS-I, Prof Yajun Ha for TCAS-II, Timothy Constandinou for TBioCAS, and Zhihua Wang for OJCAS, together with the Technical Program Committee members, Associate Editors, reviewers, and authors have put in tremendous effort to produce a wonderful technical program. Special thanks to Editor-in-Chiefs of participating journals, Prof. Weisheng Zhao of TCAS-I, Prof. Jose M. de la Rosa of TCAS-II, Prof. Guoxing Wang of TBioCAS, and Prof. Gabrele Manganaro of OJCAS, for their support of ISICAS2020 Special Issues.
