Focus more on electronics for biomedical
Provide a track for transistor-level digital, reduce load on AMS track
Stronger focus on emerging technologies with focus on devices rather than MEMS
Reduce load on SoC track by separating out interconnect

PhD Forum Format: poster session (no paper)
Submission : 1 page abstract for review
Advertising: General call for PhD student papers (mildly successful as in prev. years): 5 submissions Separate invitation to authors of accepted papers to submit a PhD forum paper on “the general topic of their PhD research” (must be different from their paper, i.e., broader scope)
Total: 17 posters to be presented
