Scope and topics

     
  Electronics and microsystem technology are wide-ranging multidisciplinary research fields of rapid growth and expansion. The conference BEC 2006 will provide an opportunity to come together and discuss ones recent research work at an international forum.
Topics of the BEC2006 will include, but will not necessarily be limited to, the following areas:

1.  Electronic Materials, Devices, and Simulation
Wide-band-gap, solar cell and thermoelectric materials, their characterisation and parameter modelling; devices of power electronics, optoelectronics, and thermoelectrics, their theory, characterisation, modelling and simulation.
2.  Integrated Electronics and Chip Design
Analog, digital, and mixed IC design; design and simulation software; models, system level design. Theoretical studies of PLLs, converters, regulators, oscillators are also welcome.
3.  Systems, Instrumentation and Communication
Principles, methods, and applications of electronic measurement; data acquisition; communication and control instruments and systems, incl. hardware and software problems; signal and data processing; systems integration aspects.
All wired and wireless communications, including RF circuits and systems; optical transmission; electromagnetic propagation; navigation/positioning; data communications and networking; radar/sonar; military applications; etc.
Design, specification, and analysis of embedded systems; application-specific and domain-specific embedded systems; Systems-on-a-Chip and Network-on-a-Chip architectures; VLSI and circuit techniques for embedded system design; embedded system integration and testing.
4.   Test, Diagnostics, and Fault Tolerance
Design for testability, defect modelling, test generation, fault simulation, fault diagnosis, built-in self-test, fault tolerance, and modern methods of education in the field of design and test of electronic systems.
5.  Biomedical Electronics
Sensors, signals, and electronic instruments for measurement and acquisition of biomedical data; monitoring of biological objects in scientific experiments and medical treatment.
6.  Power Electronics
Theoretical and practical aspects of implementation of power converters in industry and transportation.
7.  Other Topics
This section is devoted to topics, which are not directly covered by previous 8 sections, but are closely related to the field of electronics. For example, papers on nanotechnology, molecular electronics, organic semiconductors, power distribution in networks, and environmental systems and solutions could be submitted. Reports on trends and methods of teaching and training in electronics would also be very welcome.
