The International Conference on Computer Design (ICCD) encompasses a wide r ange of topics in the research, design, and implementation of computer syst ems and their components. ICCD's multi-disciplinary emphasis provides an id eal environment for developers and researchers to discuss practical and the oretical work covering systems and applications, computer architecture, ver ification and test, design tools and methodologies, circuit design, and tec hnology. Researchers both from academia and industry are invited to submit proposals for special sessions. A special session could consist of a set of individual presentations or a panel. Special sessions should aim at provid ing a complementary experience with respect to the regular sessions. Hence, sessions focusing on hot topics of interest to the community that may also go beyond disciplines traditionally represented at ICCD are particularly w elcome.
