May 2008 - Summer Plans

Michael Gora and Xu Guo will attend the Samos Workshop (International Symposium on Systems, Architectures, Modeling and Simulation to present their research.

M. Gora, E. Simpson, P. Schaumont, "Intellectual Property Protection for Embedded Sensor Nodes," International Workshop on Systems, Architectures, Modeling, and Simulation (SAMOS 2008), July 2008.
X. Guo, Z. Chen, P. Schaumont, "Energy and Performance Evaluation of an FPGA-based SoC Platform with AES and PRESENT Coprocessors", International Workshop on Systems, Architectures, Modeling, and Simulation (SAMOS 2008), July 2008.

David Hwang (GMU) and Patrick Schaumont have organized a special session at ISCAS 2008 on the use of CMOS circuit-level effects to create trustworthy applications. Besides the overview presentation, the special session has contributions by research groups from Philips NXP, Boston University, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and Virginia Tech.
