Special Session 
1. Industry Program
This special category accepts only papers based on state-of-the-art products. The paper may cover specifications, applications, state-of-the-art points, chip photos, chip architecture/software, circuits (not necessarily very original, significant improvement is fine), live demo if any, characterization results, and packaging/testing results.

2. Student Design Contest
A student design contest is held among the accepted papers with system prototypes or measurement results of which operations can be demonstrated on-site. Refer to the web for further information.
