Call for Tutorials

The VLSID 2027 conference provides a premier platform for researchers, engineers, and practitioners to explore how advances in VLSI design and Embedded Systems can drive disruptive innovations to shape the future of silicon, systems, and semiconductor design. This conference is a global convergence of researchers, industry leaders, and innovators shaping the future of silicon, systems, and semiconductor design. The theme of the conference is Artificial Intelligence to Physical Intelligence, From Compute to Cognition, From Silicon to Smart Systems. 

As part of this year’s program, the VLSID 2027 Organizing Committee invites proposals for high-quality, in-depth tutorials to be delivered in person on two days preceding the main conference. Tutorials are expected to offer foundational knowledge, explore recent breakthroughs, and present emerging trends in the field. The target audience for the tutorials mostly includes UG/PG students and young professionals from academia and industry.

We welcome tutorial proposals from academia, industry, and research labs across core and interdisciplinary areas. We encourage a variety of presentation styles, including lecture-based presentations, tool demonstrations, and hands-on tutorials. Suitable tutorial topics range from emerging research areas to established techniques of practical and industrial relevance. 

Important Details

  • Tutorial Lengths:
    • 90-minute tutorials (short-format)
    • 180-minute tutorials (long-format)
  • Submission Deadline: 31 Aug, 2026
