The 40th International Conference on VLSI Design and 25th International Conference on Embedded Systems. The International VLSI Design & Embedded Systems Conference is attended by over 2,000 engineers, students, faculty, industry leaders, researchers, and government bodies each year — tracking the latest advancements in silicon design and systems. It started in 1985 as a simple idea — to sense the level of VLSI activity in India with a focus on engineering education and research. Today, VLSID is recognized as the sister conference of the Design Automation Conference, sponsored by the VLSI Society of India (VSI).
