EDITORIAL

IEEE ISCAS2016
Our center is redoubling its efforts with only a few months remaining before ISCAS 2016, the flagship conference of the IEEE Circuits and System Society (CASS). The Technical Program Committee finalized the selection of papers and the conference program. The notification of selection was sent to all authors on January 11 and registration is now open. Note that sessions on CAS Transactions paper and Late Breaking News (LBN) are accepting submission of contributions until February 15. We encourage members of ReSMiQ to participate in great numbers. In addition, the social activities have been carefully designed to make this edition a memorable event. We invite you to regularly visit the website at iscas2016.org for details and updates.

IEEE NEWCAS2016
Note that the 14th edition of NEWCAS, in accordance with the principle of host country rotation, is returning to Canada in 2016 after being held in Paris the preceding year. Considering that Montréal will host this year’s edition of the IEEE ISCAS international symposium, it was decided that this edition of NEWCAS will be held on Canada’s west coast in Vancouver from June 26 to 29, 2016. The call for papers has been launched and the deadline for submitting articles is February 28. The executive committee of ReSMiQ encourages all members of the center to submit their recent work and to participate in great numbers.
