Submission Guideline & Paper Format

Submission Guidelines

Prospective authors are requested to submit a full paper of four to six A4 pages including illustrations and references, in English, in the format of a PDF file.

Accepted papers will be published as submitted in the Conference Proceedings that will be provided to all participants at the beginning of the Conference. To have the paper included in the final program, proceedings, and IEEE Xplore, the presenting author must register as a regular attendee (or as a degree student if applicable).
As an IEEE policy, the papers by no-show authors will not be included in the IEEE Xplore.

For further information concerning the scientific program and submitted contribution, please contact Prof. Yannick Le Moullec or Prof. Peeter Ellervee.

Paper Format

The purpose of a conference template is to provide a consistent format for papers appearing in the conference proceedings. IEEE strongly encourages the use of the conference manuscript templates provided below.

IEEE conference templates contain guidance text for composing and formatting conference papers. Please ensure that all guidance text is removed from your conference paper prior to submission to the conference.

Failure to remove template text from your paper may result in your paper not being published.

PRESENTATION ABSTRACT

Biosensing technologies have undergone a significant transformation, evolving from standalone sensing devices into integrated, smart diagnostic systems. This keynote presents that evolution, showing how advances in sensor design, fabrication, fluidics and electronics have enabled smart diagnostic platforms. Examples from biotechnological, medical and point-of-care applications illustrate how modern biosensing technologies are moving from the laboratory to practical, deployable solutions.

SHORT BIO

Alexandros K. Pantazis is an Associate Researcher at FORTH and Product Development leader in biosensors, smart wearables and point-of-care diagnostics. His work spans from device/ product design to system integration, and their development from laboratory prototypes to market-ready solutions.

PRESENTATION ABSTRACT

Static CMOS logic and SRAM memories have dominated chip design for decades. This talk revisits dynamic circuit operation as a promising alternative to static CMOS logic and SRAM. In particular, examples of Dual Mode Logic (DML) for improved speed and energy efficiency, and Gain-Cell embedded DRAM (GCRAM) offering up to 50% area reduction and 10× lower power than SRAM are discussed. In addition, the advantages of cryogenic operation of dynamic circuits in the context of high-performance computing and quantum applications are presented.

SHORT BIO

Alexander Fish is the Vice Dean of Engineering for Innovation at Bar-Ilan University and serves as a co-director of the EnICS Impact Center. His research interests include energy-efficient and high-speed digital VLSI chips, biomedical circuits, embedded memories, and cryogenic CMOS circuits.
