Mobile devices and social networks create exabytes of raw data. Using these data to enhance human cognition, solve problems, and make informed decisions relies on connecting computational resources from distributed embedded systems, mobile devices, and the cloud. Submitting papers on novel circuits for big data and ubiquitous computing is highly encouraged. The IEEE A-SSCC 2014 (Asian Solid-State Circuits Conference) is an international forum for presenting the most updated and advanced chips and circuit designs in solid-state and semiconductor fields. The conference is supported by the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society and will be held in Asia.
