The purpose of this Transactions is to publish papers of interest to individuals in the area of computer-aided design of integrated circuits and systems composed of analog, digital, mixed-signal, optical, or microwave components. The aids include methods, models, algorithms, and man-machine interfaces for system-level, physical and logical design including: planning, synthesis, partitioning, modeling, simulation, layout, verification, testing, hardware-software co-design and documentation of integrated circuit and system designs of all complexities. Design tools and techniques for evaluating and designing integrated circuits and systems for metrics such as performance, power, reliability, testability, and security are a focus.

本次交易的目的是向計算機輔助設計集成電路和由模擬、數字、混合信號、光學或微波元件組成的系統領域的個人發表感興趣的論文。這些輔助工具包括系統級的方法、模型、算法和人機界面、物理和邏輯設計，包括：規劃、綜合、劃分、建模、仿真、布局、驗證、測試、硬件軟件協同設計以及集成電路和各種復雜系統設計的文檔。設計工具和技術，以評估和設計集成電路和系統的指標，如性能，功率，可靠性，可測試性和安全性是一個重點。
