LASCAS Deadline for Submission Papers for Regular Sessions has been Extended to 8 November 2015

Call for Papers

LASCAS is the international symposium and flagship event of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society in Latin America. Its seventh edition will take place on Ingleses Beach, Florianopolis, Brazil. The city of Florianopolis, a.k.a. the magic island, is located mainly on the island of Santa Catarina. Florianopolis has also a continental part and surrounding small islands. With a population of around 500,000 people, the city is known for having a very high quality of life. The island is a delicious slice of paradise with over 520 km2 (200 sq mi) of green hills, blue lagoons and 42 white sand beaches. The fishing boats, the lace makers, the folklore, the cuisine and the colonial architecture contribute to tourism. The economy of Florianopolis is heavily based on information technology, tourism and services. Florianopolis is home to the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC), one of the largest in Brazil, with over 34,500 students. During the symposium, the temperature is expected to be in the range 22 oC – 31 oC.

The symposium will cover technical novelties and tutorial overviews on circuits and systems topics including but not limited to:
• Analog and Digital Circuits
• Mixed-Mode Circuits
• Biomedical Electronics
• Communication/RF Circuits
• Wireless Sensor Networks
• Nanoelectronics
• Electronic Design Automation
• VLSI Systems and Applications
• FPGA Design and Applications
• Circuit Testing
• Fault Tolerant Circuits

Proceedings will be published by IEEE and will be available at IEEE XPlore. Best Papers will be invited to a special edition of the Springer Journal on Analog Integrated Circuits and Signal Processing.

Social Activities: Besides the technical program, a very entertaining social program is planned. Special tours to tourist attractions will be available to the Symposium attendees and their guests.

Education

I did my Master’s degree in Electronique, Electrotecnique et Automatique at the Universite Sciences et Techniques du Languedoc (also known as Universite de Montpellier II) in France, majoring in electronics.  My final year project was on the High Definition Television (HDTV) which was the interest of that time.  When I was doing my diploma a few years before, I did my industrial attachment for six months at Thomson Broadcast in Cergy, France and I was working on a high definition scanner than could scan a painting underneath another painting on the same canvas.  My stay at Thomson Broadcast then triggered my interest to look into HDTV in more details.

My Bachelor’s degree was also in the same field and at the same university.  Montpellier when I was there was a very lively student City and I was lucky to meet and get to know many friends from all over the world.

My diploma was in Electrical and Industrial Informatics (Genie Electrique et Informatique Industrielle).  In my second year, I majored in Automation.  In French, it is called Automatique.  I did my diploma studies at Institut Universitaire de Technologie (IUT) de Poitiers.
