The workshop targets the optimization of manufacturability and the reduction of systematic variations in nanometer technologies through exploitation of regularity at the architectural, structural, and geometrical levels. This workshop will have three main sessions: 1.Regular architectures and applications. This session is devoted to exploit regularity at the level of architecture and applications, including consequences at lower levels. 2.Regular design methodologies. This session is targeted to exploit regularity at the structural logic level. The emphasis is given to the implications of regularity in design methodologies, including methods for logic synthesis targeting regularity and automatic regularity extraction at the structural logic level. 3.Layout and Memory Design & Characterization under Regularity Constraints. This session aims to discuss regularity at the layout level, including the physical design to produce regular layouts as well as characterization of the effects imposed by regularity. The ERDIAP workshop is connected with the SYNAPTIC FP7 project (http://www.synapticproject.eu) and it will be held on February 23rd, 2011 in conjunction with ARCS 2011, Como, Italy (http://conferences.dei.polimi.it/arcs2011).
