Top Picks recognizes the best of the best in hardware security, spanning the gamut from hardware to microarchitecture to embedded systems. Top Picks will be selected from hardware security papers that have appeared in leading conferences/journals, including but not limited to top security (e.g., IEEE S&P, CCS), architecture (e.g., ISCA, ASPLOS), CAD (e.g., ICCAD, DAC, DATE), and hardware security (e.g., CHES) venues.

After submission, papers will undergo a down select, whereby “shortlisted” papers will be invited to the Top Picks workshop, co-located with ICCAD 2023. An author(s) of each shortlisted paper is required to present the paper in-person at the workshop. A subset of these will be selected as Top Picks.  Select papers are then invited for submission to a special journal issue at IEEE Design & Test.

New attention is being paid to the semiconductor industry and its needs for workforce development at all levels.   VLSI education is an essential aspect of that effort. 

This meeting will provide a forum for all interested parties to discuss undergraduate and graduate VLSI education and how to address this workforce development requirement.   Both academic and industry participants are welcome.  The meeting will provide a Zoom feed and the in-person meeting at ICCAD to allow for the broadest possible participation.

This workshop aims to address emerging challenges and explore innovative solutions in the field of computer-aided design (CAD) for integrated circuits and systems for ultra low latency and high bandwidth scientific applications. The workshop builds on the ideas laid out in the "Applications and Techniques for Fast Machine Learning in Science" white paper and the corresponding Fast Machine Learning for Science conference series (2023 edition). This workshop at ICCAD 2023 aims to bring domains together and forge new connections with the CAD community.

The 2023 ACM/IEEE International Workshop on System-Level Interconnect Pathfinding (SLIP) is the 25th edition of the Workshop.

SLIP, co-located with ICCAD 2023, will bring together researchers and practitioners who have a shared interest in the challenges and futures of system-level interconnect, coming from wide-ranging backgrounds that span system, application, design and technology.

SUSHI: Sustainable Hardware Security: An Interactive Workshop

The desire for digital sovereignty, recent global semiconductor shortages, and geopolitical interests are driving forces behind various worldwide initiatives to strengthen semiconductor technology and manufacturing on a national and regional basis. In this context, hardware security will play a vital role since hardware is at the heart of all computing systems, and insecure hardware will put critical systems and our society at risk.

In recent times, there has been a major push and urgency to adopt the zero-trust model for cybersecurity. The zero trust model is based on the principle of “never trust, always verify” and is aimed at eliminating all implicit trust in a system. While adopting a zero-trust model for network security generally involves authenticating, authorizing and continuously validating the credentials of users in a network, these measures alone are not enough to create a true zero trust based architecture. The underlying hardware needs to be trusted and secured as well. Thus, novel approaches for building zero trust architectures, from systems all the way down to silicon, is one of the big challenges for next generation hardware system design.
