使用VLSI/ULSI技術設計和實現微電子系統需要系統架構、邏輯和電路設計、芯片和晶圓制造、封裝、測試和系統應用領域的科學家和工程師之間的密切合作。規范的生成、設計和驗證必須在所有抽象級別執行，包括系統、寄存器傳輸、邏輯、電路、晶體管和流程級別。為了通過一個共同的論壇來解決這個關鍵領域，IEEE VLSI系統事務會議應運而生。編輯委員會，組成的國際專家，邀請原始論文強調小說微電子系統的系統集成方面，包括系統設計和分區之間的交互、邏輯和內存設計、數字和模擬電路設計，布局合成、CAD工具，芯片和晶片制造、測試和包裝，以及系統級資格。因此，該交易的范圍集中在超大規模集成電路/超大規模集成電路微電子系統集成。特別感興趣的題目包括但不限于：?系統規范，設計和分區，系統級測試，可靠的VLSI / ULSI系統，高性能計算和通信系統，?圓片規模集成和多片模塊(反水雷艦)，?微電子系統的高速互聯，?VLSI / ULSI神經網絡及其應用，自適應計算系統與FPGA組件，?混合模擬/數字系統,成本，對VLSI / ULSI系統性能的權衡，?使用可重構組件(FPGAs)進行自適應計算。

Design and realization of microelectronic systems using VLSI/ULSI technologies requires close collaboration among scientists and engineers in the fields of systems architecture, logic and circuit design, chips and wafer fabrication, packaging, testing, and systems applications. Generation of specifications, design, and verification must be performed at all abstraction levels, including the system, register-transfer, logic, circuit, transistor, and process levels.To address this critical area through a common forum, the IEEE Transactions on VLSI Systems was founded. The editorial board, consisting of international experts, invites original papers which emphasize the novel system integration aspects of microelectronic systems, including interactions among system design and partitioning, logic and memory design, digital and analog circuit design, layout synthesis, CAD tools, chips and wafer fabrication, testing and packaging, and system level qualification. Thus, the coverage of this Transactions focuses on VLSI/ULSI microelectronic system integration.Topics of special interest include, but are not strictly limited to, the following: ? System Specification, Design and Partitioning, ? System-level Test, ? Reliable VLSI/ULSI Systems, ? High Performance Computing and Communication Systems, ? Wafer Scale Integration and Multichip Modules (MCMs), ? High-Speed Interconnects in Microelectronic Systems, ? VLSI/ULSI Neural Networks and Their Applications, ? Adaptive Computing Systems with FPGA components, ? Mixed Analog/Digital Systems, ? Cost, Performance Tradeoffs of VLSI/ULSI Systems, ? Adaptive Computing Using Reconfigurable Components (FPGAs)
