Integrated Circuit and System Design: Power and Timing Modeling

Welcome to the proceedings of the 19th International Workshop on Power and TimingModeling, OptimizationandSimulation, PATMOS2009.Overtheyears, PATMOShasevolvedintoanimportantEuropeanevent, whereresearchersfrom both industry and academia discuss and investigate the emerging challenges in future and contemporary applications, design methodologies, and tools required for the development of the upcoming generations of integrated circuits and s- tems. PATMOS 2009 was organized by TU Delft, The Netherlands, with sp- sorship by the NIRICT Design Lab and Cadence Design Systems, and technical co-sponsorshipbytheIEEE.Furtherinformationabouttheworkshopisavailable athttp: //ens.ewi.tudelft.nl/patmos09. The technical programof PATMOS 2009 contained state-of-the-arttechnical contributions, three invited keynotes, and a special session on SystemC-AMS Extensions. The technical program focused on timing, performance, and power consumption, as well as architectural aspects with particular emphasis on m- eling, design, characterization, analysis, and optimization in the nanometer era. The Technical Program Committee, with the assistance of additional expert reviewers, selected the 36 papers presented at PATMOS. The papers were - ganized into 7 oral sessions (with a total of 26 papers) and 2 poster sessions (with a total of 10 papers). As is customary for the PATMOS workshops, full papers were required for review, and a minimum of three reviews were received per manuscript.
