Driven by the rapid growth of the Internet, communication technologies,
pervasive computing, and wireless and portable consumer electronics,
Systems-On-Chip (SOC) has become a dominant issue in today's ASIC industry.
SOCs have created new challenges in Design Methods, Design Tools, Design
Automation, Manufacturing, Technology, and Test. The SOC Conference
provides a forum for sharing advances in SOC technologies and applications.
SOCC is sponsored by the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society.

GENERAL INFORMATION
SOCC 2004 will offer three days of technical papers and a full day of
technical workshops at the Hilton Santa Clara in Santa Clara California.
The Hilton Santa Clara is readily accessible from the San Jose
International Airport and the San Francisco International Airport and is
located in the center of Silicon Valley California at the Santa Clara
Convention Center and the Paramount Great America Theme Park. SOCC 2004 is
