About the Awards

Scope/Eligibility of Awards

The Technical Committee on Very Large Scale Integration (TCVLSI) of the IEEE Computer Society (IEEE-CS) addresses the interactions among the various aspects of VLSI design including system-level design, logic-level design, circuit-level design, and semiconductor processes. In order to encourage growth, wider participation and acknowledge the contributions (research and scientific community service) of TCVLSI members towards IEEE-CS Technical Committee on VLSI, a set of 6 awards in different categories is proposed. The decision of the Award committee for a specific year is considered final. The committee can make a decision to give one award for each of the categories, or one award for selected of the categories, etc. as may be the case for one year to other. Nominated candidates must be an active member of TCVLSI and show some contribution towards the development of TCVLSI.
