ICCD 2024

ICCD encompasses a wide range of topics in the research, design, and implementation of computer systems and their components. ICCD’s multi-disciplinary emphasis provides an ideal environment for developers and researchers to discuss practical and theoretical work covering systems and applications, computer architecture, verification and test, design tools and methodologies, circuit design, and technology. We especially encourage submissions that look forward to future systems and technologies. Authors are asked to submit technical papers in accordance with the submission guidelines (https://www.iccd-conf.com/Submission_guide.html)
