"VLSI Design and embedded systems are core technologies that are behind the electronic products that we use widely today including cell phones, music players, and computers. There is a need to have discussions on the trend and future of this segment as these are the backbone of all electronics used widely today in various domains such as Communications, Consumer, Industrial, Automotive, Defense and Health Care.
