Technical Committee on VLSI (TCVLSI) is a constituency of IEEE Computer Society (IEEE-CS) that oversees various technical activities related to computer hardware, integrated circuit design, software for computer hardware design.^[1] TCVLSI is one of the 26 technical committees/councils of IEEE-CS that covers various specializations of computer science and computer engineering discipline.^[2] IEEE-CS is the largest of the 39 societies of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).^[3] Detailed charter of TCVLSI is available at the following TCVLSI Charter Page.^[4]

Details of Technical Committee on VLSI (TCVLSI)

A Technical Committees of IEEE Computer Society (IEEE-CS) is an International networks of professionals with common interests in computer hardware, software, and its applications. At present, there are 26 TCs in IEEE-CS to cover various constituencies of Computer Science and Computer Engineering, such as Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI), Internet, database, embedded system. A TC serves as the focal point of the various technical activities within a technical discipline which influences standards development, conferences, publications, and educational activities of IEEE-CS.^[5] The Technical Committee on Very Large Scale Integration (TCVLSI) is constituency of the IEEE Computer Society (IEEE-CS) which addresses the interactions among the various aspects of VLSI design including system-level design, logic-level design, circuit-level design, and semiconductor processes. The technical scope of TCVLSI covers the Computer-aided design (CAD) or electronic design automation (EDA) techniques to facilitate the VLSI design process. The VLSI may include various types of circuits and systems, such as digital circuits and systems, analog circuits, as well as mixed-signal circuits and systems. The emphasis of TCVLSI widely covers the integrating the design, Computer-aided design (CAD), fabrication, application, and business aspects of Very-large-scale integration (VLSI) while encompassing both hardware and software.

Membership of TCVLSI

Membership in the TCVLSI's global community is open and free of charge to researchers, practitioners and students. Joining TCVLSI is currently done through the IEEE website. Membership in the IEEE or the IEEE-CS is not required for membership in the TCVLSI. However, to serve on the executive committee of the TCVLSI an individual TCVLSI member needs to have IEEE-CS membership.

Technical Activities

The TCVLSI sponsors conferences, special sessions, and workshops for the IEEE-CS. TCVLSI also runs VLSI Circuits and Systems Letter, three times a year, which has many components including a very selective dissemination of quick papers, TCVLSI member news, upcoming conferences, workshops, call for papers, and funding opportunities of interest to members of TCVLSI. TCVLSI provides several student travel grants for the TCVLSI sponsored conferences. TCVLSI also sponsors best paper awards for the sponsored conferences.

VLSI Circuits and Systems Letter

The VLSI Circuits and Systems Letter is freely available to the global audience online. At present, VLSI Circuits and Systems Letter (VCAL) is published twice a year which provides timely updates on science, engineering, and technologies as well as educations and opportunities related to VLSI circuits and systems. At this point, the letter contains the following sections: Features, Opinion, Updates, and Outreach and Community. The published issues has been made available below for quick access to the readers. The editorial team of the letter is also presented.
