This book will collect recent advances in analog, mixed-signal and radio frequency integrated circuit design optimization and will put the stress on future trends in the related research fields. It will bring together the latest research findings in the related areas, theory, applied metaheuristics, sizing techniques and their applications to analog/RF and mixed-signal circuits/systems, covering all the design flow levels, and dealing with such issues imposed by the nanometer technology.


Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following:


• Evolutionary algorithms and their application to the AMS/RF circuit design and synthesis.
• Optimization methods applied to circuit and system design: high-level synthesis, structural synthesis, sizing, etc.
• Swarm intelligence in the design automation of AMS/RF circuits.
• Optimization techniques for low voltage/ low power analog/RF circuits.
• Electromagnetic optimization.
• Application of metaheuristics to VLSI layout design.
• Hybrid techniques.
• Circuit design methodologies and design automation enabled by behavioral modelling and/or symbolic techniques including optimization of performances, reliability, and yield for analog, mixed-signal, RF circuits,
• Recent advances in analog CAD with focus on optimization tools and methodologies.
• Simulation-based optimization techniques.
• Optimization problems related to the use of the nano-technology in RF/analog designs.
• Passive elements’ optimization in RF circuits.
