About

About

The IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Circuits and Systems (ISICAS 2026) is a leading global forum for presenting and discussing the latest advances in the theory, design, and applications of integrated circuits and systems.

While Saudi Arabia remains a safe and welcoming venue for ISICAS, the conference will be held at Politecnico di Torino in Torino, Italy to best accommodate conference attendees.

The program will feature keynote lectures, technical sessions showcasing pioneering research, and live demonstrations of cutting-edge technologies.

ISICAS 2026 offers a unique opportunity to connect, collaborate, and contribute to the future of integrated circuits and systems. 

Accepted papers will be published in Special Issues of:

  • IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems I: Regular Papers (TCAS-I)

  • IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems II: Express Briefs (TCAS-II)

  • IEEE Transactions on Very Large Scale Integration Systems (TVLSI)

  • IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Circuits and Systems (TBioCAS)

  • IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for Artificial Intelligence (TCAS-AI)

  • IEEE Open Journal of Circuits and Systems (OJCAS)

Submissions

Requirements

Paper submissions are due 11 May 2026 (for TCAS-I, TBioCAS, TCAS-AI, TVLSI) or 1 June 2026 (for TCAS-II. OJCAS)

Prospective authors are invited to submit full-length papers with a complete description of their integrated circuits and systems implementations and collected measurement results.

All accepted papers will be published in Special Issues of TCAS-I, TCAS-II, TVLSI, TBioCAS, TCAS-AI, and OJCAS shortly after presentation at ISICAS 2026. 

In addition to the IEEE ISICAS special section requirements for: TCAS-ITCAS-IIOJCASTVLSITCAS-AITBioCAS 

Submissions should meet the following criteria:

  • Analog and mixed signal, nonlinear, communications, power, and biomedical circuits must include on-chip implementation and measured silicon results.

  • Digital circuits and systems and VLSI must include at least FPGA verification.

  • Extended versions of recently published conference papers with significant additional materials are also welcomed.

To ensure consistency in evaluation, only submissions meeting these requirements will be considered for review. 

Paper Preparation and Submission

All submitted manuscripts must conform to the formatting and page limit requirements set by TCAS-I, TCAS-II, TVLSI, TBioCAS, TCAS-AI, and OJCAS.

Authors of accepted manuscripts will be invited to present their work (oral or poster) at the conference.

Manuscripts must follow the standard single-spaced, double-column IEEE Transactions format, as specified at the following link: http://ieeeauthorcenter.ieee.org/create-your-ieee-article/use-authoring-tools-and-ieee-article-templates/ieee-article-templates/templates-for-transactions/

Instructions for IEEE TBioCAS authors:

IEEE TVLSI

Instructions for IEEE TVLSI authors:

Requirement for IEEE TVLSI Submission:

TVLSI emphasizes system-level innovations or implications across system, chip, and package levels, as well as HW/SW integration. It focuses on large-scale systems-on-chip (SoCs), FPGA-based designs, 2.5D/3D chiplet-based systems-in-package, system-on-interposer, or multi-die integrations, including die-to-die interfaces. Contributions should address holistic platform design challenges beyond single IC components.

IEEE OJCAS

Instructions for IEEE OJCAS authors:

IEEE TCASAI

Instructions for IEEE TCASAI authors:

Requirement for IEEE TCASAI Submission:

No quantum computing, Include FPGA/CPU/GPU-based hardware implementations.

IMPORTANT

When submitting a paper for ISICAS 2026 (either for TCAS-I, TCAS-II, TBioCAS, TVLSI, OJCAS and TCASAI), please select the option ISICAS 2026 Special Issue.

Plagiarism and Excessive Re-use of Earlier Material

Sponsors

Politecnico di Torino was the first Italian Engineering School founded in the wave of the technical and scientific innovation that gave rise to the most prestigious European polytechnic schools in the mid-19th century. Founded as School for Engineers in 1859, it then became Regio Politecnico di Torino in 1906. Engineers, architects, designers and urban planners have been trained at Politecnico di Torino for over 160 years with rigor, integrity and high-level standards.
