Report by: Dr. Rajeevan Chandel & Dr. Ashwani Kumar Chandel, NIT Hamirpur, HP India
The two day national conference on Design Techniques for modern electronic devices, VLSI and Communication Systems (DTVC-2007) was successfully held at NIT Hamirpur Himachal Pradesh, during 14-15, May 2007 was organized by the Department of Electronics & Communication Engineering NIT Hamirpur. The conference was well attended by twelve world renowned academician experts and over hundred delegates from all over the country. The main objective of the National Conference was to bring the industrial professionals and academicians together for a better appreciation of the challenges in the design techniques in the emerging areas of very large scale integration (VLSI) and communications systems. Following deliberations were made by eminent experts and learned delegates during the two days of the National Conference: 14 May 2007 : Dr. R. L. Chauhan Chairman BOG of NIT Hamirpur was the Chief Guest of the inauguration of the Conference. Dr. C.P. Ravikumar Senior Director Texas Instruments Lmt. Bangalore was the keynote speaker of the National Conference. In his keynote talk he covered the various aspects of VLSI design, computing, communication and control. He discussed the new technologies on the horizon and the associated challenges. Prof. GS Visweswaran IIT Delhi, Prof. Dinesh Sharma IIT Bombay delivered invited tutorials on Analog VLSI Design and CMOS OP-Amp design respectively. Prof. S. Sarkar MITS Sikar Rajasthan (formerly at IIT Roorkee) in his invited talk covered low power VLSI Interconnect design issues. Prof. A.K. Saxena IIT Roorkee focused on the need for research in gallium arsenide compound semiconductors for enhanced speeds of the devices. Dr. Rajeevan Chandel iterated on the need for low power interconnect design for improvements in the portable electronic gadgets. There were four technical sessions on first day. |

15 May 2007: Prof. D. Mukhopadhaya from Jadavpur University and Prof. S Sarkar conducted Invited Tutorials on Nano-Electronics and Low-Power VLSI Design respectively. Prof. I.K. Bhat Director NIT Hamirpur highlighted the need for R&D in nanocarbon tubes, nano-nets and nano-materials in near future. Prof. Ajay Sharma NIT Jalandhar highlighted the importance of optical and wireless communication. Prof. S.S. Rajput Prof IIITM Gwalior cum Sc-E NPL India New Delhi delivered on low power analog VLSI design issues. There were four technical sessions on second day as well. This was followed by valedictory session. Recommendations of DTVC-2007: Useful conclusions and recommendations have been drawn during the two days National Conference in Design Techniques DTVC-2007. Research is required to be pursued in sincere earnest in new avenues of VLSI viz. modeling, simulation and analysis of modern electronic devices, digital & analog VLSI design issues and optimization techniques, testability of VLSI chips, interconnect design techniques, optimal routing and placement, embedded system design, reliability & harmonic analysis. Research avenues in the area of communication include global positioning system (GPS), WiMax, 3G-HSDPA/LTE, 2G-GSM/CDMA, WiFi, Zigbee, Ultra wideband (UWB), personal area network, bluetooth, near field, RFID, mobile communication, digital signal & image processing, parallel distributed and high performance computing.
