The IEICE International Conference on Integrated Circuits, Design, and Verification (ICDV) provides an annual forum for exchanging ideas, discussing research results, and presenting chips, circuit designs and applications in solid-state and semiconductor fields. Continuous scaling of the CMOS devices increases the number of transistors on a VLSI chip. It will soon reach the level of 10 giga transistors on a single chip, which is equivalent to the total neuron numbers in the human brain. This would certainly provide us a great opportunity for new applications and information processing. On the other hands, the small feature size causes new problems such as leakage current and process variation. To discuss utilizing the scaling advantages and coping with the new problems, we call for contributions about new proposal of application systems, VLSI architectures, and design methodologies as well as the technologies in the integrated circuits and devices field. We expect to this conference explores and stimulates the contributed researches to those subjects. The papers are solicited from prospective authors interested in the related fields. ,The ICDV 2014 conference is sponsored by the IEICE Vietnam Section, the IEICE ICD technical group and the IEICE VLD technical group, hosted by VNU University of Engineering and Technology (VNU-UET), and will be held in Hanoi, Vietnam to celebrate the 10th anniversary of VNU-UET. Further details on the conference, paper submission guidelines, and templates will be updated on the ICDV website.

Paper Submission: Prospective authors are invited to submit full-length, six-page (6 pages) manuscripts, including figures, tables and references, to the official ICDV 2014 website. All papers will be handled electronically. Accepted and presented papers will be included in the conference proceedings published by the IEICE with ISBN (the copyright shall be assigned to the IEICE) and will be invited to re-submit an extension to REV Journal on Electronics and Communications (JEC) and VNU Journal of Computer Science and Communication Engineering (JCSCE).

Papers are solicited in the following categories, but are not limited to:
1. Digital integrated circuits and signal processing
2. Processors/ multiprocessors
3. Memory
4. Analog and mixed-signal circuits
5. RF integrated circuits and microwave engineering
6. Circuit technologies
7. Design experience with advanced design technology
8. Circuits/devices modeling, verification and testing
9. Reconfigurable architectures
10. FPGA-based designs
11. Embedded systems design
12. Applications related to integrated circuits and devices
