Industrial Design Track ISLPED’23 solicits papers for an “Industrial Design” track to reinforce interaction between the academic research community and industry. Industrial Design track papers have the same submission deadline as regular papers and should focus on similar topics but are expected to provide a complementary perspective to academic research by focusing on challenges, solutions, and lessons learnt while implementing industrial-scale designs. Submissions (not published/accepted/under review by another journal, conference, symposium, or workshop) should be full-length papers of up to 6 pages (PDF format, double-column, US letter size, using the IEEE Conference format, available at (https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html) including all illustrations, tables, references, and an abstract of no more than 250 words. Submissions must be anonymous. Submissions failing above requirements will be automatically rejected. Accepted papers will be submitted to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library and the ACM Digital Library. ISLPED’23 will present three Best Paper Awards based on the ratings of reviewers and a panel of judges. ISLPED also features a Low Power Design Contest with live demonstrations and awards. Submissions are due on May 15, 2023. More details will soon be available on the conference web page. There will be several invited talks by industry and academic thought leaders on key issues in low power electronics and design. The Symposium may also include embedded tutorials to provide attendees with the necessary background to follow recent research results, as well as panel discussions on future directions in low power electronics and design. Proposals for invited talks, embedded tutorials, and panels should be sent by email to the ISLPED’23 Technical Program Co-Chairs, Umit Ogras (uogras(a)wisc.edu <mailto:uogras@wisc.edu>) and Pascal Meinerzhagen (pascal.a.meinerzhagen(a)intel.com <mailto:pascal.a.meinerzhagen@intel.com>) by the deadline listed above. Participants interested in exhibiting at the Symposium should contact the General Co-Chairs by May 1, 2023.
