 WHEN

After the success of the first CEDA’s ENG-OPTIM’Contest that was organized last Oct. 2010 during the Int. Workshop on Symbolic and Numerical Methods, Modeling and Applications to Circuit Design (SM2ACD), the 2nd edition of this competition will take place next Dec. 2011 at “the  International Conference on Microelectronics” (www.ieee-icm.com). The contest will be organized by the IEEE CEDA Tunisian Chapter in collaboration with the IEEE CAS (Circuits and Systems), IEEE MTT (Microwave Theory and Techniques), IEEE CS (Computer Society) Tunisia Chapters, and both the ENIS and ENIT Student Branches.

WHAT

Presently, optimization techniques have become crucial tools in the engineering fields (analog, digital and mixed design, Systems, RF circuits, telecommunication, multi-domains (MEMS, nano-, opto-electronics, mechatronics) and so on.

The aim of this competition is to focus on contributions of IEEE (Tunisian) Members/Student Members on techniques and stratagems relevant to the wide engineering application spectrum.

Key words: engineering, heuristics, problems, optimization, Operations Research & Decision Theory, etc.

 WHO

The contest concerns all IEEE ‘Tunisian’ members and Student Members.

 HOW

Interested persons will have to send a 4-page contribution using the IEEE/ICM Template (available at the ICM website), no late than November 20, 2011.

Submitted papers will be evaluated by the contest’s scientific committee. A selection will be made, and authors of the retained papers will have to present their papers next December in a parallel session at the ICM Conference.

  • Selected Papers will be included in the ICM Proceedings and published in IEEE Xplore.

  • Among them three will be awarded by the IEEE CEDA Chapter.

  • A special prize will be accorded to the best paper.

 

 WHERE

Submissions have to be made by email to mourad.fakhfakh@ieee.org. Please specify in the email subject: CEDA Contest 2011+your name. Further details will be transmitted by email and/or via the ICM website.

Local Organizing Committee: Amin Sallem, Mouna Kotti, Rahma Aloulou.
