Special Session Call


The NANOARCH 2019 technical program will include Special Sessions. Their objective is to complement the regular program with new or emerging topics that are of particular interest to practitioners and experts for highest performance at nanoscale architectures that may also cut across and beyond disciplines traditionally represented at NANOARCH.

We recall that, typically, each Special Session comprises at least 4 presentations. Prospective organizers of Special Sessions should submit proposals delivering the following:

  • Topic Title (approx. 10 words)
  • Organizers Name and Affiliation
  • Session Rationale and Outline (approx. 500 words); the rationale should stress the novelty of the topic and/or its multidisciplinary features (if any)
  • Session Paper List (min. 4 papers without more than 1 per involved research group) including the author(s) affiliation(s), paper title and abstract (approx. 100-200 words)

Proposals will be evaluated based on the timeliness of the topic, and the qualifications of organizers and contributors.

After Special Session proposals are approved, manuscripts may be submitted to the special session and should conform to the formatting and electronic submission guidelines of regular NANOARCH papers. The invited papers, which are part of accepted special sessions proposals, will undergo the same review process as Regular and Concept papers. If, at the end of the review process, three (3) or less papers are accepted, the special session will be cancelled and the accepted papers will be moved to regular sessions.

Proposals should be sent via e-mail to the Special Session Chairs by April 5, 2019 at the latest.

Submission Guidelines


Authors are invited to submit of up to 6 pages in length for the Regular Paper Sessions and Special Sessions and 2 pages in length for the Concept Paper Sessions in PDF version, double column with a minimum font size of 10 points on the symposium submission website (EasyChair). Author may choose to make submissions anonymous, although that is not mandatory. The electronic submission will be considered evidence that upon acceptance, the author(s) will present their paper at the symposium. Accepted and presented papers will be submitted for inclusion to IEEE Xplore and ACM Digital Library. All manuscripts will be reviewed by at least three members of the program committee. Submissions should be a complete manuscript of novel unpublished work (not to exceed 6 pages of single spaced text, including figures and tables).

Papers must be in the formats described on submissions guidelines and using the IEEE templates that you can find at:
IEEE Manuscript Templates for Conference Proceedings

Accepted and Presented papers will be considered for NANOARCH Best Paper Award, and the conference content will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore and ACM Digital Library as well as other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases.

After the conference, authors are invited to submit extended paper versions (containing at least 30% but preferably 50% new material), to pass the normal review process, for potential publication in an IEEE Transactions on Nanotechnology NANOARCH 2019 Special issue.

"Stochastic & Neuromorphic Computing with Magnetic Tunnel Junctions: Prospects and Perspectives"

Kaushik Roy The trend towards ultra-low power logic and low leakage embedded memories for System-On-Chips, has prompted researcher to consider the possibility of replacing CMOS based memories with non-volatile technologies such as magnetic tunnel junctions. Compute-in-memories enabled by non-volatility can be exploited to develop efficient memory-centric neuromorphic computing fabrics. We have also observed that the magnetization dynamics under current driven magnetization switching mimics the leaky integrate and fire operation of spiking neurons while stochastic switching of a nano-magnets under thermal noise can be used to model stochastic neuron and synaptic behavior. Such computing with MTJ based devices can lead to orders of magnitude improvements (over standard CMOS based von-Neumann computing models) for solutions to complex dynamical systems including neural computing and combinatorial optimizations.

"Exploiting Ferroelectric FETs: From In-Memory Computing to Machine Learning and Beyond"

Kaushik Roy The inevitable slowdown of the CMOS scaling trend has fueled an explosion of research endeavors in finding a CMOS replacement. However, recent studies suggest that many of the emerging devices being investigated, if used as simple drop-in replacement for MOSFETs, may only achieve speedups that mirror historical trends in the best case. The consensus from the community is that cross-layer efforts are essential in combating the CMOS scaling challenge with emerging devices. This talk presents such an effort centered around a particular emerging device, ferroelectric FETs (FeFETs).
An FeFET is made by integrating a ferroelectric material layer in the gate stack of a MOSFET. It is a non-volatile device that can behave as both a transistor and a storage element. This unique property of FeFETs enables area efficient and low-power combined logic and memory, which are desirable for many data analytic and machine learning applications. This presentation will elaborate novel circuits/architectures based on FeFETs to accomplish computing in memory, ternary content addressable memory (TCAM) and crossbar arrays. Application-level benefits, particularly for machine learning, in comparison with other alternative technologies will be discussed.

Laoshan Mountain Hiking

Friday, 19th July 2019

Laoshan Mountain Hiking Laoshan Mountain Hiking The Mt. Laoshan is located in the eastern part of Qingdao as the main sierra of Shandong Peninsula. The highest peak is 1133 meters above sea level, which is the first peak of China’s coastline. There is an old saying in the local area: "Although Mount Tai is high in the clouds, it is no better than Mount Lao of East China Sea." The eastern area is high and the cliff is near the sea. The western area is slow with undulating hills and the full mountain area covers 446 square kilometers. The mountain range is centered on the dome, extending to the four sides, especially in the northwest and southwest. The main characteristics of the Laoshan scenery is the connecting mountains and seas. There are 18 large and small islands along the coast, which constitute the wonders of the sea in Laoshan. It exists legend that the first emperor of Qin dynasty has come to seek immortality. These activities have painted a mysterious color on Laoshan. Laoshan is also a famous Taoist mountain in china and there are thousands of Taoist priests in the whole mountain.
